I like any game that reminds me of Patchwork Heroes, Noby Noby Boy and Loco Roco

At least, the PS3 and PSP games mentioned in the header above are the first things that came to mind while watching the following trailer, which is for Honeyslug's Hohokum.

The only thing I don't like about this trailer is that it doesn't leave me with much of an impression as to how Hohokum will play. (Sadly, a quick jaunt to the game's Wikipedia page doesn't help much, either. Apparently the point is to "[relax] in a space and [enjoy] the experience and the music, instead of trying to complete it to make progress," whatever that means.)



Still, I'm curious about it due to its appealing art (created by Richard Hogg) and soundtrack (provided by Ghostly International).

How about all of you? When Hohokum is released on August 12, will you buy a copy for your PS3, PS4 or Vita ?

It looks like 2D Noby Noby Boy, with an objective?
Which I'm all for!
A good interactive relax-venture!

Ah, yes, it also looks like Noby Noby Boy, doesn't it? Not that I've ever played that one, but I've certainly seen enough videos and screenshots of it to know what it looks like, etc. Hmmm, maybe I'll update the header to include this game, too...

Hey there, Marcus! Hmmm, your description sounds both interesting and ... potentially boring?


One issue I'll have with this game once I'm actually able to buy it is that I'm just not sure I'm going to be willing to pay $15 or so for such an experience. Maybe I'll just wait and see what others think/say about it before making any final decisions. (Plus, it's not like I can get it right now anyway, so there's no reason to fret too much.)


Also, thanks for letting me know about the Noby Noby Boy-ish Push Me Pull You. I'll go check out its site right now...
