Despite the relative youthfulness of the studio, Angry Mango have taken upon themselves the Herculean task of innovating in one of the most overly familiar videogame genres around. Mush is a 3D platform title in which players must simply progress from the start of a Electronic Theatre Imagelevel to the end. When we say ‘simply’ however, this isn’t a case of holding right and occasionally jumping. In fact, neither of those commands even exist in Mush.
Pocket Gamer: Ever felt so happy you could fly? Or completely weighed down with glumness? Then you too could star in your own Windows Phone game!
Mush takes such emotional metaphors and builds a couple of nifty platform-puzzler game mechanics out of them.
Playing as the title character - a big fuzzy (and well-adjusted, it seems) ball creature - you must explore each of the game's 12 fantastical realms, collecting knick-knacks and searching for your friends.
Today sees the release of Mush, a brand new Xbox LIVE enabled title for Windows Phone 7. Developed by UK indie studio Angry Mango, Mush is available to download from the Zune Marketplace now.
