Use bombs creatively to progress in the puzzle-platformer metroidvania Öoo

Öoo is a visually charming and clever puzzle-platformer metroidvania where you make creative use of bombs to move yourself around to progress. The game works great on Linux / Steam Deck with Proton.

You don't directly have any real abilities and so you need to stick bombs everywhere and see what happens. Bombs can push you across gaps, send you flying to hit other platforms and bombs can push other bombs to annihilate things blocking your path. Some might even show up hidden passageways to allow you to progress further.

A game that does a lot with a little and it's absolutely worth picking up for a couple of hours of fun. Some areas need just a little bit of your imagination but none of it is particularly difficult to figure out, so it won't waste you time making you scratch your brain for ages.
