Meduziak

Meduziak is a laid-back point-and-click adventure about a blue jellyfish trying to pick up his child from kindergarten and get home for dinner. The journey through an underwater world brings puzzles, obstacles and unexpected detours: a bus breaks down in the middle of an underwater “desert,” and after getting it running, Meduziak discovers he cannot afford a subway ticket. A part-time restaurant job may help, but more adventures await.

Puzzles and detours

You solve puzzles to get past obstacles and strange problems in the deep-sea setting. The puzzles are designed to avoid dead ends: if you break an egg you need, for example, there is a way to get another. Some minigames are needed to progress, while others are optional.

A symbolic world

The sea creatures do not speak a human language, so dialogue is conveyed through symbols. The game has a cheerful atmosphere and is aimed at children, though they may need help with the puzzles; it can be played together.
