Mekazoo is a beautiful game that moves really fast.

Mekazoo developed by The Good Mood Creators is a throwback 2d platformer with vibrant and fully 3d worlds that can be explored and conquered with a kinetically diverse cast of Mekanimals. We got a chance to play it this weekend and so let’s take a look at it.

Mekazoo is a really slick 2d platformer where the user has to switch between different Mekanimals to traverse the levels and deal with enemies. For example, the armadillo is great for picking up some great speed and taking out armored snails, while the frog can use his tongue to grab and swing from things in the level as well as snipe out flying enemies easily.

In our session, I got to try out the frog and armadillo. Switching between the 2 took a little bit of work at first but I quickly was mastering ramping up with the armadillo and then instantly switching to the frog to swing from ledge to ledge and then back to armadillo again to blast through a snail.

We then fought a robot wallaby and by beating him, you gain the ability to then use the wallabies power with your other Mekanimals. The platforming in this game played super smooth and it really felt like a new and better take on Sonic the Hedgehog.

Some more key feature of the game include:

Use pairs of Mekanimals to swing, boost, bounce, climb and fly through fast and flowy platforming environments.

Take on an insectoid army, and overcome the many challenges that lie ahead.

Defeat Gigantic Mekanimal Bosses to unlock their power.

Collect shiny medals, sparkling gems, and bountiful Mekaballs for wondrous rewards.

Explore a variety of lush environments inside and out, and discover the secrets of the Mekanasphere.

Mekazoo is coming this summer to PC/PS4/Xbox One To check out more of Mekazoo please check our their website and also check out the soundtrack while you are there.
