Players control a small insect-like creature navigating interconnected worlds contained within orbs, solving environmental puzzles by carrying and using these orbs to manipulate space and progression. Review: Rarely have I played a puzzle game this beautiful and this satisfying. This game was created by some of the developers of Limbo and Inside, and you can really tell they share a lot of the same DNA - the worlds in this game are strange and alive, but not in a dark and scary way like in those games - in this one, they're a lot more vibrant. This game also has an incredible synth soundtrack and great sound design as well! I noticed that when I found the right solution to a puzzle, it would start playing the soundtrack again to let you know you're smart. It was incredibly satisfying! The puzzles themselves are very clever. You play this bug person and you encounter an orange orb. You can put the orange orb on your back, you can put it down to make certain things open up or move, and you can also go inside the orb. These mechanics define the entire game, and the devs did a great job creating a puzzle game with incredible depth when it comes to these core mechanics, despite the game being quite short. At first, the puzzles are quite easy, but once it introduces multiple orbs, orbs inside orbs, teleporting through orbs, etc., it gets a little harder. Overall, I just really loved the experience of this. Really satisfying and atmospheric puzzle game, I highly recommend checking it out! #Game #GameReview #GeometricInteractive #PuzzleGame #Cocoon
