It is a metaphorical game filled with illusions and hidden messages. In the world of OVIVO, Black and White exist in harmony. By constantly intertwining and replacing each other, they maintain balance. The main character named OVO was born of these two halves and has the ability to switch between them. OVO travels through the metaphorical world, overcoming dangers and collecting mysterious symbols. These symbols will help you unravel the story of this world, but how you interpret it is completely up to you. Features: ■ Flow mechanics. In white, gravity points downward, in black—upward. Because momentum is preserved when transitioning from one color to another, OVO can float along their border as if being carried by a flow. ■ Fascinating art. The allegorical world of OVIVO is full of hidden images and optical illusions. ■ Design without words. There is almost no text in the game and the story is told through gameplay and visuals. ■ Meditative ambient soundtrack by Brokenkites.

The controls work great, I use option one with the arrows and Touch for morphing anywhere, and it has Achievements for those who are into them.

MetaGonzo Well-Known Member May 7, 2009 1,459 271 83 #8 MetaGonzo, Apr 2, 2018 This really is rather lovely. Beautiful and the controls feel spot on once you have the click moment about conserving momentum across the boundary. Highly recommended.

I cant help but be intrigued by this one! # The artwork is awesome! Love the cool instant contrast when you go between the black and white! Watching the video, I kept in mind that I would be going up when in in black, down when in white. I was watching it and kept thinking this is one of those games where you have to actually feel the effect in order to really get it! Takes a sec to wrap your mind around something original like this!! # I definitely dont wanna miss out on the opportunity to grab this game! # Skykpot Member Mar 6, 2018 5 0 0 Game designer Saint-Petersburg #11 Skykpot, Apr 2, 2018 Thanks. Yes we know about tendetion to make games with free business model but we believe that the ads will ruin the athmosphere in this game.The only hope that the idea and quality of the game will works to public attention.
