Kevin Kissane of The Average Gamer reviewed OIO, an indie puzzle-platformer from Uncanny Games.
"OIO is animated very capably. He and his kinfolk look quite cute, too. The levels themselves tell the story in their appearance; the first levels take place with a more organic feel, such as tree roots, plants, etc, but these soon develop into mechanical and industrial surroundings with a much darker tone and feel."
Indie Royale has launched its Evolved Bundle, featuring five titles starting at $5.33. Titles included in the bundle include: Unmechanical, The Path, Krater, Sugar Cube: Bittersweet Factory, and OIO from Uncanny Games.
OIO is difficult but beautiful.
Maybe not exactly a title for an casual player, but if you have the patience to give it a chance it will reward you for it.
"OIO is a small game with a big heart, the artistic direction and design of the characters alone make it a game that’s well worth playing.
The gameplay itself is something that games that spend years in development would wish to achieve and the puzzles are challenging enough at first glance yet often simple enough, once you figure it out, that you’ll find yourself kicking yourself on a fairly regular basis for not working it out sooner.
Amazing visuals, and some of the best puzzle mechanics I’ve seen in a while make OIO something that everyone should at least try. There’s even a free demo so you’ve got no excuse at all."
