If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The inspiration from portal is dripping out of this game from head to toe. The sterile test chambers, the narrator, the dark humor, the "science" it's a formula that's had it's fair share of iterations, but you've done a wonderful job with it.
Qoosh pleases not only with its quirky charm but also with its brilliant mechanics and level design. Much like portal, you have a single, simple, easily understandable tweak that allows for a massive amount of clever puzzle platforming, spread across plenty of well crafted levels.
Additionally, I appreciate the fact that you didn't baby the player with controls and whatnot. I'm reminded of Egoraptor's analysis of Megaman X in which the player was responsible to figure out the basics for themselves, instead of having them spoonfed. That sort of thing works wonders for the pacing and enjoyable difficulty curve of your game.
In short, well done, sir. Well done.
Reviews for "Qoosh"
Egoraptors Megaman X video is brilliant. I definitely tried to do my best to teach players through the design.
This game is awesome! love the voice acting too reminds me of Little Big Planet.
Thats a new one.
Great game, loved the mechanics, It was awesome. a bit of a sad ending, but the gameplay was well rounded, challenging but not impossible. the story was humorous, and a bit expectable but there WAS a story. there were a ton of portal references, and the game play felt sort of similar. as that the inspiration for this? I saw at least one cake joke. This has been one of the best plat formers I've played, and definitely the best with this sort of theme and message. it strikes me as ironic how completely oblivious the scientist is, but ti surprises me that the Government agent let that happen at the end :/
the ending is so cool :) nice game
Played this game multiple times in the past. I spent two days trying to find it again it was totally worth it
Thanks for dredging it up and giving it another go!
