It's a well know fact that dogs are man's best friend. A lesser know one is they're also pals with strange sack doll people, who don't take so kindly to having their pet kidnapped by demanding aliens. But what are friends for besides rescuing each other from extra terrestrial life, while dooming the planet in the process, and thus Gomo sets off on a mission to steal a powerful crystal and save his canine buddy from the slimy captive. Unfortunately he isn't able to save his game as well.

Daedalic's Gomo is a much smaller game than the developer is used to, and this emphasis on accessible, simplified mechanics envelops the whole of the 1-2 hour experience. I'm fairly forgiving of short games, but in this case the lack of content and interactivity is rather shocking. Significant portions of the game amount to little more than cutscenes, with "gameplay" effectively revolving around clicking the right of the screen to keep things moving. When you do come across a puzzle, it's so basic and quick to solve that it almost feels insulting and a waste of time, forcing you to momentarily slow down and wait for animations to unfold before progressing to the next equally tedious moment.

Gomo isn't a hopelessly bad game, in fact numerous parts are rather charming and enjoyable to watch, but it's design is painfully shallow and ultimately, entirely forgettable. The significant lack of interactivity leaves it in an awkward position feeling more like an extended animated short than an actual game, but the few entertaining moments are not at all enough to carry the experience by itself, which ends before you even realize it's started or has any chance of becoming more than a dismissible novelty.

Cute and fun game. Short story took me about 1 hour to finish.

This game looks really nice, and it's kinda fun to play. But there's a lot of similar games that I'd rather recommend. Gomo isn't very exciting and it's a really short game. It took me 1.5 hours to play the whole game (even though I apparently missed some mini-games on the way).

I'd recommend getting The Dream Machine, Machinarium, or Botanicula instead. Or wait until this game is on a really good sale.

Gomo looks and feels like a cheap knock-off of Machinarium. Even the amorphous character kind of resembles the nice robot in Machinarium. The soundtrack seems to be copied from Rock of Ages.

The problem with Gomo is that although it had every elements to be a nice game, but the developers failed to make it more interactive, to make it fun. Most of the time the player is (un)patiently waiting for the character to move or finish doing something. The first 20 minutes of the game requires interaction from the played for less than 30 seconds. Watching grass grow is more interactive than playing Gomo.

This is one of those games that I am gald I didn't have to pay full price for, and I must confess that after all the card drops the game was immediatly uninstalled.

I don't recommend this game unless it is free. Otherwise, forget it.

Cute casual puzzle / adventure. Simple, well made and fun. It's less than an hour long, so grab on sale.

Um jogo indie "bonitinho", mas sem uma história elaborada. Um cachorro é abduzido por um ET e sua missão é resgata-lo, mas pra isso vc precisa levar um cristal. Jogabilidade deixa bastante a desejar, história linear demais e as vezes irrita o óbvio das coisas. Rolam umas animações meio forçadas que tentam ser engraçadas. Um point and click com enigmas pra lá de fáceis. Não recomendo, achei chato.
