As with Octolris, QiQ is a brightly hued game about a springy red creature who can climb up and down webbing. Whenever he leaps, he shouts “Boing!”; at every opportunity he squeals in a high-pitched voice. Also as in Octolris, there are few other moves. You make precise jumps, you climb up and down, and you try to avoid injury. The character also can roll, which allows for more precise movement than the short hops afforded by the arrow keys.
QiQ is a decent enough game. The level design is pretty elaborate and well-constructed. The overall presentation is genial. Aside from the weird movement, the game's only real problem is that its difficulty balance is way too high. Until the player masters the controls, the simplest of barriers can become a huge frustration.
The game includes an extra, unused level that seems to have been used for testing the character's mechanics.
