Hoover is a platformer indie game where you need to outrun a rising water level by using a vacuum cleaner.
If that’s not weird enough, add in some quirky features (like self-propelling) and a lot of difficulties. Then you have yourself a crazy platformer.
Your vacuum cleaner is carried by you, a chubby and stubby little penguin that’s immobile. You use the vacuum to propel yourself like a rocket ship through the level. It needs to recharge, so you refill it with air.But that’s not all. You can also suck in fish and enemies as well.
But that’s not all. You can also suck in fish and enemies as well.
When you expel the air, you can launch yourself as well as trigger events on the level. You can shift platforms, shift projectiles, and attack enemies with pure air. How cool is that?
Hoover is a difficult game. It’s hard to maneuver yourself around the world as it is. But there’s a timer. It’s slowly filling up with water, which means you’ll be moving upwards. It’s like a vertical platformer.
You need to climb onto different platforms like wood, ice, and rock. They each have their own abilities:
- Rock platforms are pretty much the neutral platform
- Ice platforms can be broken with your head
- Wood platforms are mobile when you stand on them and use your vacuum
You can also snag powerups to upgrade your vacuum or replenish your health bar. You’ll need them so grab them as soon as you see them. The game is hard.
Once you get good at Hoover, you’ll notice that it’s a game that takes skill to play.
See if you’re worthy of carrying a vacuum. Download Hoover and try it out.
