Oozi Earth Adventure offers an addicting platformer experience that hearkens back to the days when "scrolling parallax backgrounds" were super hip and the entire summer's agenda was to set a new high score.
Oozi: Earth Adventure looks like it is a simple casual game, and it is, particularly on the easier levels. It is one of those games that you waltz though, with little frustration.

Does this intergalactic trip of cute little alien to our home planet make a good old school action platformer? There are many positives on the game - instant gameplay, good level design, variability of the game environment, wide variety of enemies, the game constantly serves new ideas and mechanics, good system of checkpoints, four levels of difficulty that one can choose from, responsive controls most of the time, beautiful hand-drawn graphics and nice music. As for the negatives, there are not many of them - very basic story that is not really developed further, sometimes the strange reactions to your commands while jumping, only few dull sounds and the absence of dubbing. There is no local multiplayer in the game which would make it more suitable for family playing but there are more than 40 short levels in challenge mode where you can compare your skills with your friends or family members. Otherwise, the game is suitable even for pre-school kids with choosing the right level of difficulty.

- instant gameplay
- level design
- variability of the environment
- wide variety of enemies
- the game serving new mechanics as you progress
- system of checkpoints
- four levels of difficulty

Oozi: Earth Adventure doesn’t bring any revolution to the genre but it delivers the exact gameplay that one would expect in this genre. I have enjoyed this cute little action platformer and thus I am giving it Thumbs Up and VideoGaming Father’s Index 8 out of 10 - recommended!
Good but simple platform game, it doesn't offer much challenge unless you are looking for achievements, some can be quite tough. The game is not long either, it took me around 4 hours to finish
This platformer is hot stuff for those seeking not complicated games. If you are content with a graphically cute easy jumping titles, Oozi is just for you.
Oozi does very little wrong, and it's a title that remains manages to maintain enjoyability. While it may not have much to offer beyond its visuals, it's a safe game. It's a title that won't leave you disappointed. Granted, it may not be a title you remember as vividly as say Super Meat Boy or I wanna Be The Guy, but it's a loyal game that will entertain you for the time you play it.
An old-school 2D platformer that recently found its way on Steam. Oozi has its good moments, but it gets very repetitive very soon and constantly recycles its content.
Overall, Oozi: Earth Adventure is a nice little throwback to 16 bit gaming. The predictability of enemies may make this a walk in the park, however ramping up the difficulty to max provide a decent - often frustrating - challenge.
It's a bit hard to judge, as it's a game essentially without challenge. The game production, however, is very good: the atmosphere resembles very much 16-bit games like Superfrog, and the controls are tight.
SummaryWe're happy to announce that Oozi: Earth Adventure is now available to all PC gamers! The PC version includes all four episodes previously released on Xbox Live Indie Games.
