Okay. Octolris is a game about a springy red octopus who can climb up and down webbing. Whenever he leaps, he makes 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.
QIQ is a decent enough game. Its only real problem, all things considered, is that its difficulty balance is way too high. (Rather like the game that inspired it.)
