Adventures of Poco Eco lets you restore a low-poly world of electronic music

Adventures of Poco Eco came out for iOS yesterday. It's the kind of game that you immediately want to know more about upon seeing it.

That's on account of its vibrant, low-poly world. It combines totemic animals, brightly coloured pyramids floating in the sky, and an ecosystem that thrives on dreamy electronic music.

You play as Poco as he helps a tribe to escape silence by restoring Sounds to their gods. This is managed by simple spatial puzzles as you traverse the environments.

Importantly, it's not challenging enough to ruin your study of the landscapes. The puzzles give you just enough activity to keep you happily bumbling along.

It helps that the soundtrack encourages pleasant reverie. Soft synths and droll beats float you along, and you can add to them by tapping on speakers and tuneful plants dotted around the screen.

The music is provided by Hungarian artist Iamyank. And, in fact, the game is a companion to his new EP, The Lost Sounds. You can listen to the EP for free upon completing the twelve levels of the game.

So, if you want to check it out, consider purchasing Adventures of Poco Eco for £2.29 / $2.99 on the App Store.
