iO

After playing the game for about an hour, I can definitely say it's worth buying! The game features O, a small ball which has the ability to get bigger and get smaller. By doing so you increase/decrease your mass, alowing you to gain a lot of momentum when being big, and then transforming that momentum in actual kinetic energy when your smaller. Obviously the game has way too many features for me to discuss right...

Played the game on an ubuntu desktop, where I had a bunch of technical issues. On some ubuntu versions, there was an unmovable mouse cursor in the center of the screen. On ubuntu 19.10, the fullscreen mode made the game unresponsive. I had one gamepad controller not work and a different controller that had the controller directions reversed. I think the game is built for the keyboard, since moving and resizing needs...

It pains me to give this review, but it's necessary to convey my honest experience with this game. Hopefully you take the time to read through this. In a nutshell, iO is the spiritual successor of the flash game wOne, improving upon it with the introduction of a unique mechanic: the ability to grow or shrink your wheel. Armed with this knowledge, you learn different sorts of techniques and use them to gun for the...

Its a solid puzzle platformer with a minimilist neon design, but personally it felt clunky trying to size the roller when its really trying to ask you to be precise, as the camera obscures the puzzle as it shrinks in and out. Kind of can skip this if your catalogue is already full of other great puzzle platformers like N++, Battleblock or Super Meat Boy.

Solid reflex-based "platformer"/physics game. Your lone objective is to move a wheel from your start point to the goal in every stage. Your only controls are left to right movement, and being able to grow/shrink yourself for extra/less mass. The larger you are, the faster you speed up on a downward slope and vice versa - shrink as you head back up to suddenly accelerate like mad, so on. There are extra quirks...

Physics based puzzle platformer from Gamious. Definitely one of those simple to play yet difficult to master games. With a 150+ levels, responsive controls and a relaxing soundtrack, if you enjoy the genre it should keep you going for a while and recommended. :] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4sB5qc_xgE

A minimalistic puzzle platformer game where the main concept is the ability to shrink or grow your ball in order to navigate through the levels. Gameplay is fun and is broken into levels which gradually get tougher. The background music is very well done. Really easy game to learn but hard to master. Works well on keyboard+mouse or controller. Overall a very fun little abstract game to add to your collection.
