    "Soosiz is without question the best platformer yet on the App Store. The game uses gravity-centered gameplay, like that of Gomi, but much more fast-paced, to turn a good platform adventure into something extraordinary."

    The game is incredibly well executed with excellent controls, has a ton of content and is a lot of fun. We highly recommend it.

    The controls work flawlessly, which is an important win because it proves that pixel-perfect twitch-style platforming is possible on Apple's handheld. The visuals are stylish and fluid. And the level designs are clever and challenging, if not altogether outrageous.

    Like some of the most iconic platformers all rolled into one, Soosiz's gravity-defying play and smart level design make it a fun and familiar romp.

    The game is far from perfect, particularly with the at times bland visuals and amateur looking character design, but these aesthetic qualms are too superficial for us not to whole heartedly recommend the game.
