Touch Foo’s Soosiz platformer has arrived in the App Store for an introductory sale price of $1.99.
Soosiz is a great looking 2D platformer that we previewed a few weeks ago. Aside from the usual running/jumping mechanic, Soosiz also introduces gravity flipping jumping, allowing you to jump onto platforms directly above you. The gameplay mechanic is reminiscent of Gomi but packaged in a more traditional platformer title running at a faster pace. The game comes with 7 worlds and 65 levels, each with bronze, silver, and gold achievements.
See this developer provided video of the game in action:
The game includes left/right virtual buttons for movement and a jump button for jumping. Additional on screen controls allow you to zoom out for an overview of the map. Holding the jump button down further lets you jump a little higher. Some enemies can be dispatched by jumping on them Mario-style.
Even with our brief time with the game, we’ve been very impressed with the total package. The controls are responsive and the gravity turning gameplay design works well and is very fun. The game also appears to incorporate a lot of different gameplay elements, enemies and obstacles.
A few of the more advanced obstacles and enemies are shown in this video:
Other early impressions are being collected in our forums, and we plan on taking a closer look, but even at this early stage, this looks like it’s a winner.
