Joe Pesci plays the role of Joey Spunkatooie, a middle-aged punk rocker who has been transported to the world of Ooze. Totally bogus! The Oozinoids are violent, mostly immobile blobs that spit at Joey from afar. Joey responds to this the only way he knows how -- firing blindly with his hot pink revolver while walking directly to the right. Will Joey make it back in time for his band, 'The Punched in the Dickholes', to headline tonight's show? Will your mother let you spend your $52,000 cash, or will she make you put it in the bank?
One of the first things you'll notice is that Ooze gets its own Enemies that Joey will face include frantically moving blobs that walk right through his bullets, or stationary blobs that spit randomly. Jumping is an annoyance -- Joey can't move forward while the jump button is held down, so you have to get in the habit of quickly tapping the jump button. Falling too far will kill you, even before you hit the ground!
Ooze features six unique stages that are actually surprisingly varied and actually have some consideration for design. However, none of them are really memorable. Some stages feature drips of ooze that fall from the sky, and depending on the stage, may or may not be shootable. That's not confusing at all!
The first stage is stupidly difficult for no good reason. Beyond that, you won't really have any problems with it until stage 5 and 6. Stage six is actually designed in such a way that if you don't perform some miracle leap of faith (and have remembered exactly where you have to do this), you'll trap yourself on a platform you can't escape from!
Should you dedicate your life to , you stand a chance to receive a $52,000 scholarship from Active Enterprises*!
*Not actually active, an enterprise, or plural.
