Oolo is a charming isometric puzzle/platformer that successfully captures the nostalgia of classic games like Solstice, featuring engaging puzzles and a delightful exploration experience.
The game offers a variety of difficulty levels, allowing players to choose between a challenging experience or a more casual playthrough, making it accessible to a wider audience.
Quality of life improvements, such as the ability to slightly tilt the camera, enhance gameplay by helping players navigate the isometric perspective more effectively.

The isometric viewpoint can make platforming challenging, leading to frustrating moments where players misjudge jumps due to the perspective.
Some players have reported technical issues, including crashes and bugs that can detract from the overall experience.
The lack of customizable controls and the absence of a 'solved' marker for completed rooms can lead to tedious backtracking and frustration during exploration.
