Mekazoo is Good Mood Creators' first game, on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. It aims to provide the thrills of 90s platformers like Sonic, but can its cast of animals keep you as enthralled as the spiky one? The Digital Fix heads down to the zoo with a bucket of feed, and takes a look.
Josh from Start Replay writes, "After just 5 years in operation, Seattle-based video game developer ‘the Good Mood Creators’ has unfortunately been forced to shut its doors, due to poor sales of their first title, Mekazoo."
I've seen some gameplay with commentary of it and it actually looks like a lot of fun. It's a creative platformer that reminded me a bit of Sonic mixed with Kameo (various animals with different skills).
They failed on a massive install base (PS4/Xbox1/PC). Goes to show that not all software is "guaranteed sales," when launching on popular platforms.
Sorry for everyone involved, and I hope they land on their feet.
The mechanics were excellent. They just put them into a boring aesthetic, unfortunately.
Mekazoo...Mekazoo...Mekazoo really sounds like one of those titles that’s just out there for comedic use.
Gary Bailey :"Mekazoo is not a terrible game. It shows genuine flashes of fun, and its characters are colourful and cute, but the fact that it repeats the mistakes of much older platformers released two generations ago shows that Mekazoo is a game out of time".
