Hoco Poco

this game is delightful. sokpop really knows how to work within the limits of these small games and hoco poco is a great example of that. in another game the drawing spells with the mouse mechanic would probably be really annoying, but it works because hoco poco feels so low stakes. drawing a meteor spell when you meant to draw a bomb spell isn't frustrating, its just a silly mistake in a silly game.

Fun to figure out the controls and the spell effects and mess around with the bots for a little while. You play as a cute little wizard! It's great! However, actually casting the spells is no walk in the park. Feels like half the time it fails, or I can't cast at all (Star Fall spell). This made playing with friends an ordeal for everyone involved (except me, who had prior practice, but even then I struggled). They though it was cute though, if unplayable. The asking price is so cheap I can't not recommend it (shrug).

숫자키 1로 게임 시작. WASD로 움직이기. 숫자키 2를 누르며 움직여 모양 주문 만들기. 별이랑 회오리는 그려지는 선 생각하지 말고 그냥 그리면 됨. 근데.. 그냥 사지마..

[h1]Another solid [i]Mario Party minigame[/i]-like title from Sokpop[/h1] Hoco Poco can best be thought of in the same vein as Sokpop's Capy Hoky, which released in Season 4. It's a chaotic, fun little party game where half the fun is getting familiar with the controls. In terms of Single-Player, it probably won't hold your attention for long - I was done with it after about 15 minutes. Strangely, the mana meter doesn't seem visible when I play, and I couldn't get the keyboard controls to work. Recommended if you've got a few friends over and want a quick laugh.

A magic game where you draw shapes to cast spells. I love the idea, and think it should be expanded into an adventure rather then solely PVP. Some shapes, such as the star, are hard to draw just right but with some practice you'll be a wizard in no time.

Pure silly fun where figuring out the controls is half the appeal. Really glad I bought this.

I do not recommend this game. As far as I can tell it is unplayable; I have found no controls that work, the onscreen instructions are incorrect, and nothing I do after opening the game does anything. Even navigating the menus was frustratingly unclear and took multiple restarts and randomly hitting keys on the keyboard to deduce. Don't know how to play and it has never worked for me after dozens of attempts.
