Soosiz is a 2009 platformer game developed by the Finnish studio Touch Foo. It was released for iOS on October 9, 2009.

Gameplay

Across 65 levels,[1][2] the main aim of the game is for the protagonist to find his scattered friends and save the world from a great evil.

Development and release

Soosiz was created by two brothers, Vile and Tuomas Mäkynen. Vile did the programming, basing the game off of an earlier PC title he made for a game design competition in 2006, while Tuomas drew the character designs.[3] The artwork used for the app icon was drawn by a fan.[3]

The music used in the game was composed by Kevin Macleod, a well-known royalty-free musician who allows free use of his music under a Creative Commons copyright license.

Soosiz was released for iOS on October 9, 2009, with a free Lite version on November 21, 2009 and an HD version for iPad on April 3, 2010.[2][4][5] In 2018, Soosiz was updated to a universal app for iPhone and iPad, replacing the separate HD version, and became free with in-game ads.[6] Ads do not appear for players who bought the game before it was made free and can be disabled with an in-app purchase.

Reception

On Metacritic, Soosiz has a "generally favorable" score of 86 based on four critics.[7]

Multiple critics gave positive reviews.[1][8][9][10]
