I tried. It has style and a message; but it’s not for me.

game is very wholesome and cute. the songs slap and remind me of yo gabba gabba

A very relaxing game to play, and a fun story to follow.

This game has a visual texture to it that isn't apparent unless you view the preview video in full screen. I don't know if it's me but it's incredibly jarring and I could only handle it for maybe five minutes before it was genuinely painful to look at.

Extremely funny and gorgeous game with a good heart. It feels simultaneously retro and completely novel and unique, "PS3 aesthetic" gets thrown around a lot but it does legitimately feel like what Keita Takahashi would have made if he worked at SCEJ in the mid to late 2000s instead of Namco, a classic style of gimmicky cinematic adventure game where the simple act of interacting with and exploring its world and story is so inherently joyful that it's hard for me to really say anything negative about it. If you like adventure games and don't mind ones that are relatively light on real mechanics in lieu of just presenting that kind of interactive space, and enjoy Keita Takahashi's art and sense of humor, there's really no reason not to play this.

Fabulous game. Seems to be straight out of Takahashi's weird brain. A very elegant, funny, slice of life game experience about disability, differences and seeing the good in things and people. Highly recommend going in without knowing much about it. It truly is delightful. Thank you Uvula team for making something so delightful.

I'm sad to report I really don't enjoy this game. The long and short of it boils down to having no interesting mechanics with replay value and no meaningful story content. You play this kid's day to day, getting dressed in the morning, washing up, walking to school, sitting through classes sometimes, and each of these activities is accompanied by a mini game. The problem is these mini games aren't much fun, and you will never want to do them more than once or twice. Story wise, it's that age old cookie cutter bully plot where the protagonist has something about him that makes him different, bullies pick on him, kid finds he has some heroic power and saves the day, and now people no longer think he's a loser. The game tries to pass this message that you're wonderful the way you are, but the story is saying that you're only worthy of respect if you do something supernatural. It's fundamentally at odds, and it has no real depth or nuance. Lastly, the game is way too restrictive. There's a small town in the game, but instead the game controlling in 1st or 3rd person, it has a fixed camera that aligns itself perpendicular to the street you're on, so you're usually always facing directly to a house 90 degrees away of where you're walking. It's very disorienting and unfun and feels like a waste of assets. Dressing up also feels restrictive, with only a portion of your wardrobe being available most of the time during school days. I want to like this game, the art style is adorable, but playing it just bores me.

Overall the game features a fun premise with fun characters but issues with things like the camera placements discourage me from reccomending it in the state it is now. Check out if it is on sale

Let me start by saying I would EXCLUSIVELY recommend this to a younger audience, around ages 10 to 15 give or take. I can easily see a younger teen me sinking some hours in this just playing around, but as an adult I struggled to stay engaged with this and cannot in good faith recommend this to an adult. That being said, I think it IS a good game with a very sweet message; that it's okay to be different and that you're perfect just the way you are. This would make a fantastic gift to a child or teen, especially one with something "different" about them such as a physical disability, but I don't think the average adult would find this engaging. Review that said this would do better as a children's cartoon is spot on, it basically IS that but in video game form. Pros: - very nice art style; very cute and cartoonish. - music is great, as usual. - main character is very customizable. Choose their name, skin tone, hair, hair color, clothing, etc. You can buy new clothes + find new hair styles & colors. You can also name and dress up the dog too. - a very sweet story where you essentially play as a teen with a physical disability & navigate their day-to-day life. Cons: - minor glitches. Experienced double prompt overlay as well as getting stuck on ledges when using the flying mechanic (you can cancel out of this). - fixed perspective can cause the camera & controls to be janky sometimes. This is particularly prevalent when using the flying mechanic as it sometimes makes the camera jump around. By far the worst part was during an episode where you control the dog and are made to do a platforming puzzle; the camera just loses it's mind when trying to position yourself. Overall I didn't have a lot of issues with the fixed camera, but it does glitch out occasionally. - This game feels slow and has a lot of "filler" stuff. After like episode 4, I just couldn't stop thinking about how much I just wanted to be done. It did become more interesting towards the end, but i think it sucks when you're like half way through and just want it to be over. Overall.... If you're a parent and you have a child / young teen? They'd probably sink some time into this. But you as a like 30 year old? I'd probably pass.
