Cool Kid Cody’s Totally Unreal Radical Quest for Godhood is a thoroughly bizarre adventure that sees you attempting to prove how cool you are to a skate-cat god so that they bestow the powers of godhood upon you.
Cool Kid Cody’s Totally Unreal Radical Quest for Godhood features a strange mix of platforming, puzzle solving and visual novel-style gameplay as you take Cool Kid Cody on his quest for godhood. Cody is (or thinks he is) the coolest kid in his class (and the world). How cool can he be you may ask? Well cool enough to make his teacher explode by just winking at them and giving them the thumbs up – so pretty damn cool. But is he cool enough to become a god?
Taking around 20 minutes to play through, Cool Kid Cody’s Totally Unreal Radical Quest for Godhood takes some wonderfully weird twists through its short play time. It’s not just the story that’s surprising either, it shakes up the gameplay too, with it switching from a puzzle adventure to a skateboarding platforming game at the drop of a hat.
The skateboarding section can be a little confusing initially, but other than that it’s a fun game with a fantastic visual style, a groovy soundtrack, quirky characters and a wonderfully weird narrative. Cody’s adventures are pretty damn crazy, but it’s a joy coming along for the ride.

Love the visuals and concept so far! My main concerns are with some of the clarity with what to do next like the transition from the classroom to the platforming. Perhaps a character art splash screen or a sick trick animation could help indicate a segway in gameplay also I’m afraid some of the more recent references and memes in the dialogue might date the game really quickly.
Aside from that I think this is a wonderful start! The over all tone and style feels consistent and I look forward to where the adventure leads!
