Mekazoo looks incredibly gorgeous. Incredibly bright, vibrant visuals, and a catchy, awesome soundtrack.

It's a 2D platformer in a 3D world, and the perspective shifts quite frequently - quite stunning. Your character can change into up to 5 animals (I unlocked only 3 in this video) and can switch between them to complete objectives - it's a neat core mechanic.

My key gripes with this game are that you have zero dedicated tutorial at all, so it's trial and error to learn how to play. It doesn't help that I found the armadillo particularly slippery to control at times. Plus, the Logitech F310 controller didn't have its buttons mapped properly, so I had to yank it out and play with KB&M instead. Lastly, excuse the framerate, but as you can see even on lowest it kinda struggles to be smooth if you're playing and streaming this at the same time.

Still, a pretty underrated and overlooked platformer. Also, I love bad puns but I totally didn't realise the game name was kind of one (Mekazoo = Mecha Zoo [because animals] - geddit?...never mind).
