The Developer Says...
OVIVO is a minimalist 2D platformer in a black-and-white world with an unusual mechanic. The main character, named OVO, is created from these two halves of the world and has the ability to switch between them. When OVO is black on a white background, all black elements become platforms and the white space becomes the walkable area, with gravity pulling downwards. The character can swap its colors, becoming white and causing all white areas to become platforms, with black turning into space and gravity pulling upwards.
OVO travels through this metaphorical world, filled with illusions and hidden messages, overcomes various dangers, and collects mysterious symbols. These symbols help you to unravel the story of this world, but how you interpret it is entirely up to you.

Features:
- Flow mechanics. In white, the gravity force is directed downwards, in black - upward. Preservation of momentum while transitioning from one color to another allows OVO to float along their border as if it is carried by the flow.
- Fascinating art. The metaphorical world of OVIVO is full of hidden images and optical illusions.
- Design without words. There is no text in the game and the story is narrated through gameplay and visuals.
- Symbolism and puzzles. The game is filled with allusions and hidden messages.
- Meditative ambient soundtrack by Brokenkites.
