Woosh
Description
Woosh is a puzzle-based platformer. The core gameplay requires the player to manipulate platforms through the concept of physics (displacement and velocity) to create a custom bridge to reach higher platforms. This is usually done by picking up an object, causing a line to appear against a field in the background. By moving left or right, at different speeds, the height of the line can be influenced, before it becomes solid. The goal is to move around carefully to create a bridge with a steady slope, so it can be used to cross gaps.
There is also a number of static and dynamic obstacles that teleport the player's character away from the goal when they are touched. Therefore, when generating the line, these need to be taken into account. The drawn bridge can always be erased to try another strategy. Most of the static obstacles are randomly generated, making the game different for each run. There are also three difficulty levels. Next to basic movement, the ball-like character can also jump, sprint and there is a general action key.
Woosh was developed simultaneously along with Waker. Even though all levels and basic gameplay are identical, Waker is the narrative version with a cat-like character, while the protagonist in Woosh is a ball and all other goals remain abstract.
