Pros
Pro Captivating puzzle mechanics
Your goal is to create the path for a boy's journey by moving, zooming, connecting, and superimposing pictures on a 2x2 grid.
For example, in a picture where the boy stands inside a closet, you can overlap the doorway with the picture of a rooftop exit, allowing the boy to step outside on the roof.
It's simple but creative puzzle mechanic, which let's you feel like a reality-bending wizard, making it a really enjoyable experience.
Pro Beautiful artwork
Gorogoa feels more like a picture book than a game, containing many colorful hand-drawn stills. From interiors of houses, to foggy cityscapes, to even parks decorated by statues, there's just so much detail everywhere, making your journey through the world of Gorogoa much more enticing.
Pro Simple yet effective storytelling
Instead of using text and dialogue to convey the story, Gorogoa uses moving pictures to show a boy's journey to meet a godly being. Each picture contains various nuances such as paintings, statues, and symbols that shed light on the story. This gives hints about the game's world and even manages to touch upon themes of religion and spirituality. Gorogoa is the prime example when a single picture tells more than a thousand words.
Pro Immersive mode
Botanicula utilizes immersive mode which is available on all Android devices that are on 4.4+.
Pro Graphics border on being art
The fantastic visual in the game is remiss of art one would see in a pop art gallery.
Pro Intuitive puzzles
