But in many other cases, Hohokum is painfully abstruse, or deliberately misleading. Some of the puzzles are well designed, the environment gives you subtle hints about what to do and where to go, and getting the answer is rewarding. About figuring out how this particular world ticks, so you can manipulate it. Solving the puzzles, which are a little reminiscent of the sort of riddles you'd get in a point and click adventure like Machinarium, is mostly about playing, experimenting, and trial and error. You interact with the scenes by bumping into things, or flying near things, or carrying people on your back. These contain cryptic, wordless puzzles that, when solved, will reunite you with one of your snake pals. Only a few of these areas are significant. This makes it tough to find a new area or navigate your way back to one you previously visited. The areas are connected through a maze of portholes, and there's no rhyme nor reason why one would be neighbouring another. Or a world where globules of water hang in the gravitational pull of lumpy planetoids. Like a pastel waterpark where you can carry happy punters on your back.
You can speed up, slow down, or zig and zag to move at a significant clip, with your wispy ribbon-like tail trailing behind you as you go.Īfter a brief intro you'll start to explore a series of imaginative landscapes. You play as a flying snake-like creature, who is tasked with tracking down his other serpentine pals. But it also breaks its own rules, has the loosest grip on reality, and rarely makes much sense. It's a weird, trippy, mish-mash collage of scenes and landscapes that will stick with you for the rest of the day.
