It’s difficult to remember now, but there was a time when asking how “game-y” a game needed to be was a legitimate talking point. There was a sense of inquisitiveness back then, developers challenging the core concepts of level design, control and core gameplay values. You know, around the same time flow and Braid were kicking off the still-churning movement of indie games getting prime downloadable real estate on high-tech, HD consoles.
You poke and prod until a tangible direction falls out, the code is broken open, you’re rewarded with a cut-scene or another worm thing, and you move on.īasically, Hohokum would’ve been a lot more impressive in 2007.
You play a stringy worm thing, and you glide around several beautiful levels with loose (very loose) instruction. Hohokum is gorgeous, stuffed with elaborate landscapes and bright construction-paper colors.
