Review of Qoosh
Well thought out, great puzzles, good humor
By pengu · Dec 3, 2013
Qoosh is a puzzle platformer that utilizes devices such as teleportation and slowing down time.
The game takes place in a lab where Qoosh, a green blob thing, is to go through several test chambers. The antagonist, the Administrator, pits our green glob wonder through several tasks and obstacles that involve teleporting, moving blocks, turrets, spikes, buttons, teleport canceling feilds and lasers and gravity fields.
The game shows good humor and a story relatable to portal to a degree. As the game goes on, the difficulty is appropriately altered.
When playing this, I thought it'd be simple, as, puzzle games are my forté. But, I found that it was a lot trickier to do navigate through the chambers and to deal with the Administrators antics. But once you figure out a chamber, it is fairly easy to get through it using a minimal number of warps.
Some issues that are worthy to note are that the blocks can be moved through a glitch. If one were to jump and then ram into the block at the moment you come in contact with the upper corner of the block, it can be moved slightly in a direction. This is time consuming, but it can break a few puzzles in our Administrators chambers.
Another issue with those achievement hunters is that if you restart a chamber from withen the chamber, it does not reset your number of warps. If you want to prevent this, you sadly have to return to the main menu and continue from the start of that chamber. Also, once a chamber is completed, you cannot go back to it.
Overall, I give this game a 9.1/10
