About the game

Single player works great, solving the environmental puzzles takes a little extra button holding with the triggers and bumpers, but there's no pressure. There's no text and minimal instructions. I've made it through 1 out of 3 worlds. The trailer is accurate to what you get, it looks more "for kids" than it feels, it's quite captivating. The main point is to wiggle around in a stress free and magical place filled...

played the whole thing alone and had lots of fun, would occasionally clip through things and get stuck, but the respawn feature was very helpful. character designs and all those lovely little worlds reminded me of how childhood games used to look/feel like, colourful and heartfelt. loved that npcs can pet you, so so cute.
