COCOON

Just as an insect exits its pupal state in a very different form to and sets expectations that the subsequent 90 seconds delight in subverting. This is not, then, a side-scrolling puzzle-platformer set in a bleak hellscape; rather, the debut game from Jeppe Carlsen’s Geometric Interactive is a top-down adventure that casts you as a kind of humanoid butterfly, ferrying around orbs with the power to transform the world around them. One type activates bridges; another generates solid matter beneath your feet; a third brings a set of robotic limbs to life to open a gate, and that’s before we get to the surrogate jetpack. This can’t emerge from its development chrysalis soon enough.
