Fun and relaxing 3D platformer. There's not enough of those around.

Really fun game, An amazing world, Brings back good memories from my childhood, Well worth my money

Well made. A great platform game,combines the nostalgia of my childhood with updated graphics and game mechanics.A blast to play.

The game is a promising 3rd person platformer, with a unique art style. Here's my take on what can be improved: - The camera system and controls could use some tweaking, possibly with the addition of acceleration and drag. - Some sounds feel out of place, Like the beeping sound when jumping on a vanishing flower. - The HUD and GUI would look much better if they were smaller. - The attack animation can be improved (Although it's definitely an interesting way of punching) Overall, I'm excited to see how the game improves in the future!

I was going to tentatively recommend. It's rather basic as a platformer, with just enough polish to mostly hide the plentiful rough edges (don't be surprised if you can't jump while moving diagonally left-forward, moving platforms can just move without you if you board them wrong, I think the puzzle-solving mechanic might just be incomplete, etc.). I wound up doing some speedrunner-esque trick involving the game's sloppy level geometry to jump over a gate, to pass a puzzle I'm not sure was solvable in the game's current state. The bosses are kind of mindless once you know what to do, but I get the feeling they were never intended to be the focus anyway. The scenery, music & atmosphere were where I sincerely enjoyed myself. It's almost reminiscent at points of some wholesome, E-rated Playstation 1 platformer you'd play as a kid. If this is what you look for in a game, maybe even give the demo a shot. I was going to tentatively recommend if you want maybe a few hours out of a mostly relaxing platformer. But I can't complete the game. One of the powers just doesn't work on my Windows 10 PC (which is on the list of supported OSs). It's bad enough that this power (and maybe all the others?) are dependent on you collecting enough of a certain type of collectible (usually out of the way) as you progress, and doesn't tell you about this until you don't have enough (thankfully there's a level select, so you don't need to start a new game or anything). But when this power that I've redone several levels to unlock, that is necessary to progress, doesn't even work? That's where I'm out. It's got some good things, but the bad things it has are big. Maybe just stick with the demo; I got most of the way through before getting stuck.
