So. Octolris is a game about a springy red octopus who can climb up and down webbing. Whenever he leaps, he emits a loud boing; whenever he’s injured or gratified, he makes high-pitched meeping sounds. QiQ is a game about a springy red... something, who can climb up and down webbing. Whenever he leaps, he shouts “Boing!”; at every opportunity he squeals in a high-pitched voice.
In both games there are basically no other moves. You make precise jumps, you climb up and down webbing, and you try to avoid injury. Both games have a similar, bright palette.
It's probably a coincidence.
QiQ is a decent enough game. Aside from the weird movement mechanics, which for precision require that the player roll rather than walk, the game's only real problem is that its difficulty balance is way too high.
The game includes an extra, unused level that seems to have been used for testing the character's mechanics.
