I forgot how much fun this game is!
I recently revisited it and would now very much like to finish it.
I remember well that this a platformer that really eases you into this genre.
And Oozi makes this kind of adoring sound when you kill him again, due to your still poor skills!

There are several hidden area's in this game that can be challenging to find and a bit more challenging to reach as well, but it really gives an extra thrill when you do find them all and have collected all stars in a level.

Oozi isn't too hard, but still manages to be fun, adorable, enjoyable and challenging!
I know...... I have poor platformer skills, so Oozi can be challenging!

PROS:
+ Suited for both casual and hardcore players
+ Solid gameplay
+ Great, colorful graphics
+ Nice animations
+ Good sound effects
+ Pleasant music score
+ Fair length

CONS:
- Unoriginal
- A bit repetitive

OOZI: An Earth Adventure. An evenly paced colourful plat-former, about 5 hours in story mode but provides additional length through challenge stages unlocked by maximizing designated hidden in game tokens. The Steam leader-boards are an exceptional touch. Not in the vein of Super Meat Boy or any other punishing plat-formers, OOZI is a plat-former that you can actually finish and have a pleasant time while doing so.

Difficulty selection ranges from "Kid" to "Hardcore" though the latter just makes the game slightly more challenging. Players are not punished for failure and retuned to checkpoints with previously collected assets intact, which means that for example, discovered secrets persist on restarting checkpoints.

There are numerous game play mechanics which vary the experience. Additionally, OOZI introduces "Quantum Ghosts", holographic recordings of other players that appear in your game. This also means that your game-play is being recorded as well for an appearance in other OOZI instances.

The layouts of the levels are homogeneous and are only distinguished by theme and obstacles. More diversity in this regard would of been welcomed. The controls are tight enough for precision movement though I felt that the wall mechanics could of been better implemented.

OOZI: An Earth Adventure featuring a nice array of Steamworks features; Steam Achievements, Leader-boards, Cloud Save, Trading Cards and Full Controller Support. The developer is also very responsive. I reported a broken achievement and it was fixed in 10 minutes. Their hard work is apparent by the high level of polish and Steam features that have been applied to this adorable plat-former.

A cute fun bright little platformer. Good buy. Even has a kid level and goes all the way to hard if you want. Cool.

back to basics here and boy is it fun this is a great platformer reminds you of a golden era in gaming well worth adding to your game collection

A very colorful and completely adorable platformer, thats very fun and also very friendly, because its not too hard "not even in hardcore mode" and is perfect for a fun and relaxing platformer adventure.

+ Outstanding character design, amazing details on levels, great graphics and wonderful animations.
+ Very lovely soundtracks that puts you in the platformer mood and the sound effects are great.
+ Neat level design, not too small and not to big that it gets boring. No its perfect.
+ Funny story and cut-scenes, a lot of levels to play around 40 on story mode, and a lot of different levels and worlds to beat, and some really fun boss battles.
+ Fun doesnt end here. Over 80+ arcade and challenge levels that unlocks as you play the story.
+ It has ghost system, which shows your steam friend's character playing next to you as a ghost, you can set it to "random" or "best score", kinda fun seeing them and trying to go faster than they did.
+ Controls are simple and good.
+ Overall the characters they all look so adorable I just love this about the game, they all look livelike and their animations are really great, and the world just looks amazing.

- Double jump is very overpowered, you can basically ignore so many platforms and enemies by double jumping without having to go through the platforms near them.
- Both wall-jump and wall-grab abilities are very annoying to use, you get used to it eventually, however its still difficult and unsatisfying.
- the 5 stars on each level which should be a bit hard to find are actually easy to find and I finished the game without missing one.

Rating I give this game 8.9/10, its really fun and spent a lot of time playing it since it delivers a lot of fun levels to play, and a lot of achievements to grind on.

And seriously the bosses, the enemies, everything looks so great the style they chose to do this is the reason i picked this game without even checking a gameplay footage before.

Very fun game! It's not easy as I thought :)

Pretty good platformer!

Oozi has some pretty simple platforming mechanics, but uses them so well to provide a somewhat challenging experience with a good flow. Some levels can be frustratingly difficult, but it feels damn satisfying to get to a checkpoint after the tough parts. I'm glad there are various checkpoints throughout the levels, since they are relatively long.

The game consists of four worlds with five levels and a boss fight in each world. The environments, enemies, and music are all unique to each world. I have to say that I loved the soundtrack. Even on challenging levels where I was forced to listen to the same song for tens of minutes, I was still bobbbing my head to it. Along with the story mode, there are also over 30 challenge levels to prolong the experience.

Personally Im having a hard time recommending this game yes or no, so I'll start by summing up the positives and negatives.

Positives

• The game has nice graphics, nice music and they've really trying to set a nice ambience with their level design.
  
• There's a lot of levels in the game, normal story, challenge mode and arcade mode, all be it a lot of them seem very similar.
  
• There's three different difficulty settings (if I recall correctly). For children this gives you some nice options. Personally I wouldn't bother with the different difficulty settings and just start on Hardcore because it's not unforgiving, it just gives you less hits to take (but you have checkpoints anyway).

Im indifferent on the story because to be fair, it's as generic as can be. Personally I didn't find too much about the game 'funny' but this might be a thing of taste, because other people have been finding things in the game funny.

Negatives:
There's quite a few flaws that make this game a rather mediocre to even bad experience.

• Time-wasting mechanics: The cycles.... Spike-cycles, you have to hide in the background in this corridor enemy-cycles, basic enemy cycles. Besides this there's also the classic 'things that shoot from the ceiling-cycles' that you have to wait for. It doesn't really add anything to the gameplay, it just makes things tedious and disrupts your flow in the game.
  
• There's just nothing special about the game, it's about as generic as can be.
  
• Slippery floors at places where floors aren't supposed to be slippery.
  
• Hitboxes that just aren't right, on enemies as well as the edges of platforms (sometimes you fall through them, sometimes you can 'walljump' off them).
  
• The game/platforming is really repetitive.
  
• There's been a couple of times that the camera started to glitch out for a few frames in a row (mostly on auto-scroll level challenges).

I'll give this game 6 out of 10 and recommend it based on the fact that it doesn't do too much wrong, it seems to be a matter of taste if you enjoy the style of gameplay yes or no.

A very fun platformer that doesn't take it self too seriously. Loving the gameplay, visuals and the music is chilled and upbeat.

Recommend!
