Mekazoo

Its good

I'm in the middle about my view on this game, but I'm leaning more towards a no. This game has good visuals and music. But the visuals are quite distracting and the controls are so slippery. And there are times where your character just starts sliding for no reason. Also, there is no tutorial. Even though the you would expect the controls to be simple, there are 2 buttons that I have no clue on what they do. So if you want a challenge and you're used to god awful controls, get this game. But if you are more of a casual player, I would not recommend this game.

love it

This is the kinda game you'd play on the original Xbox and stay up for 5 hours past bedtime because you're stuck in a level or the hub world. Why is that good? Because you decided to keep playing for those 5 hours.

Terrible mechanics; feels very frustrating to play.

Interesting concept and decent visual aesthetics and soundtrack, however just like most unity games gameplay is often sloppy, buggy, and inconsistent, which is a huge detriment to gameplay because of its higher difficulty in later stages. It often feels like you're constantly fighting the lack of polish. Each animal needed at least 10-20 more hours of development. came back to give it another try. literally wont open

I was pleasantly surprised by this game. If you had told me, "Hey, try this platformer where only 1/5 characters jump," I might be skeptical, but Mekazoo makes it work, and makes it fun. You have 5 unlockable characters who have different strengths, and you will complete parts of levels with some combination of one or two characters at a time. The armadillo dashes quickly, the frog uses his tongue to swing and attack, the wallaby jumps, the bear climbs, and the bird flies. Luckily they never make you choose between all 5 at the same time (I was initially afraid of how that would be accomplished properly). It's rather elegant, because you basically just move, activate their specialty move, or switch to your other character available to traverse the level, completing acrobatics, taking out enemies, or finding objects. In fact, the levels feel very different based upon which characters are activated at the same time. For instance, one of the specialty badges you earn to unlock bosses and challenge levels (not technically required), is by finding a secret character combination switcher in the level which requires you to traverse parts of the level with a different combination of powers than you may have done before (sometimes it's more fun the other way too). The plot drives the action, and keeps things moving with no dialogue (very nicely done, and even has a twist), the graphics are fantastic (although I had to disable g-sync and go high fps only, still ran at 120+ so not that big a deal), colors pop, and you earn specialty costumes and colors by earning gems through combat and collection. Very surprising gem, and I hope there's another game like it!

Loved it, I only wish the devs could have released more games.

sometimes glitchy and for some reason doesn't feel smooth even at high framerate on G-Sync monitor, still very playable and enjoyable game, it takes a while to get used to controls and there is no real tutorial so you have to figure out how every character's ability works by yourself. Decent amount of content, well balanced difficulty and awesome soundtrack. Game encourages you to play each stage multiple times with different objectives which is nice. Gameplay is very dynamic with only two buttons used (action and character switch) but it's a lot of fun.
