OVIVO

About this game

OVIVO is a mesmerizing platformer with unusual mechanics where everything is as simple as black and white. It is a metaphorical game filled with illusions and hidden messages.

In the world of OVIVO, Black and White exist in harmony. By constantly intertwining and replacing each other, they maintain balance. The main character named OVO was born of these two halves and has the ability to switch between them. OVO travels through the metaphorical world, overcoming dangers and collecting mysterious symbols. These symbols will help you unravel the story of this world, but how you interpret it is completely up to you.

Features:
■ Flow mechanics. In white, gravity points downward, in black—upward. Because momentum is preserved when transitioning from one color to another, OVO can float along their border as if being carried by a flow.

■ Fascinating art. The allegorical world of OVIVO is full of hidden images and optical illusions.

■ Design without words. There is almost no text in the game and the story is told through gameplay and visuals.

■ Meditative ambient soundtrack by Brokenkites.

■ Play offline.

■ The game has received many awards, including the Best Game of Imagine Cup 2015.

Ratings and reviews

It took me approximately 10 minutes to lose interest in the game. The game's mechanics are limited to three buttons, with one button being used predominantly and the other button rarely utilized. As a result, the game feels more like an artistic endeavor rather than a traditional game. The drawings are amazing and overall, it is still a cool project. Just not my style. Good luck!

Fun and interesting puzzle game, I was thoroughly enjoying myself...right up until I started getting chased around by enemies. I understand the idea of needing some kind of impetus, but for me it completely ruined the sense of casual puzzle game that it had going. It suddenly became a run-for-the-end frustrating and panicky platformer. Not for me. Great game otherwise.

Ok, still giving it a 5 star, the game is interesting, but there are some bugs in it. When the ball next to a wall that is not shiftable and tap shift, the ball is not shifting as usual but the color changed. besides, it is better to add a visible joystick since I found the joystick is a little unresponsive. Nevertheless, it is a nice game with some interesting art style and music. Hmmm... I don't seem to find the secret...
