JuJu is a delightful platformer aimed at a more casual crowd.
Make no mistake thou, this is a modern platformer having all the elements that match said recipe.
It's not a particularly hard game but then again you will not exactly play it with one had. There are secret areas to complete and bosses to beat!
Perhaps a ideal crowd for this specific tittle would be children but any fun loving adult can enjoy it as-well.
There is 2 player co-op either both on keyboard or controller or one of each. You can drop in and out of co-op without needing to restart or go back to a checkpoint or any of that nonsense, just drop in and drop out.
My only issue with JUJU is that it seems to be tailored more for girls then for boys. There is a male version of JUJU which you can play in CO-OP but you cant use said character in single player... which i find really odd.

End Trailer

In all seriousness, this is one hell of a beautiful game. Super vibrant and colorful. It's also a really good platformer game in general. There is a neat idea that I wish more platformers supported, which is to make it easier for a co-op partner to play, such as no hard-fail state if the co-op partner dies. Alternatively, coop doesn't need to be easy-mode, it can be changed at will and made difficult for both parties.

What is JUJU, other than a badass bongo playing panda?

Like the store describes, it's a platformer featuring an adorable cast of animals, that make music, while engaging in their platforming queste of collecting everything that can be collected.

My playtime on JUJU is not the highest, I have not yet completed the game either. However I have finished the first world segment, engaged in boss fights, played bongos, learned how to fly and managed to get a grasp that's good enough for a first impression.

Mind you, this review is personal bound, you may agree or disagree, I speak for no-one but myself.

What does JUJU right?

+ JUJU's levels are relatively short, this however is not a bad thing but makes it ideal for a game you just pick up and play for a short while till you've got your fill. It also helps that the levels are relatively short as you have portals in each level that can only be attempted once during a given run.

+ JUJU's world is a beautiful, vibrantly coloured world that really comes to life with all the critters wandering around in it. The use of colour also engages the player in exploring each nook and cranny for portals or other little secrets.

+ Music, while I've heard the same music being played over again, it doesn't hinder or get annoying. It's quiet fitting with the theme of the game and the level design.

+ Difficulty, the game gives you an initial laydown of the controls in the very first level you enter, however after that it's reduced to a minimal popup of explanations (I recall having seen one after defeating a boss). The game introduces new hazards, new enemies, new interactive platforms gradually while playing through a level. It also does this in a way that you don't get overwhelmed.

+ Enemies, there are plenty of them, they look different, they have their own unique little thing. Stomping crabs is all fun and games, getting needles in your fluffy behind from a hedgehog costs you a life!

+ Drop-in / Drop-out Co-Op. No need to do it at the start of a level or at a checkpoint, you can do it at any given time.

What has bothered me about JUJU so far?

- Camera, while I'd say the camera is your buddy 90% of the time, there are moments where it seems to have somewhat of a difficulty keeping up with your character, this can lead to cringe worthy deaths that could have been easily avoided. Granted the levels are short so you don't lose a whole lot of progress, everything you did in between checkpoints has to be done over though.

- Relatively short, the game seems to be relatively short. I've completed the first world and my progress is at 23%. Looking at the background in the menu I'm going ahead and assume there are 4 worlds total. While there is some replayabillity, their isn't much to do in a level once you have completed it.

Do I recommend this game? Yes.
Do I recommend it for it's current price? If you're out for a quick platformer fix that can be played solo or in co-op without expacting anything of extraordinary length, yes.

One of the most beautiful platformers for 2014. Heavily influenced by Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze!

JUJU is an absolutely delightful platformer that I personally look forward to playing through fully upon release. It could use a little tightening up in terms of the PC options, however for the most-part the gameplay itself is thoroughly enjoyable and an absolute pleasure to play. If you are a fan of more traditional platformers and adventure games then this may be right down your alley. It’s certainly not a hardcore platformer, so if you were expecting insane difficulty, you won’t find it - just a simple yet charming and wonderfully nostalgic adventure.

See my video preview below (of the first 2 worlds in the game):

by far the best platformer in years and the best you will find for pc unreal engine runs superb the the controls are just spot on no clumsy controls , so if you enjoy platformers either as parent or kid get it you can play together i recommend using 360 xbox wired controller

jestem w creditsach i to mi wystarcza :D

JUJU is a great game for when you wanna take a break from a stressful game. The game consists of multiple worlds and levels in each world. Not too difficult to figure out where to go, but getting from point A to point B might be a little challenge. I give it a 10/10. Great story, gameplay, graphics, and sounds.

If you're looking for something that is not trying it's hardest to have a "gimmick" to be original and instead aims for being a very good and competent platformer for all ages - just get it. It's got very simple mechanics, yet level and enemy designs are so varied, it never feels repetetive.
It's a very good game to sit down and relax after a hard day's work. I'd recommend it in a heartbeat.

What can I say? This is a fun platformer, with entertaining elements, great environments, good music and fun design.
My kids and I all enjoy it. As a parent of budding gamers I am interested in finding safe games for them to start out with and this game is just right. Not too easy as to be boring, but not so challenging that it is frustrating, and not bloody and mature.

I call this a child safe game, that adults can enjoy too, and definitely recommend it.
