echt een dramatisch spel
Cozy, chill, relaxing, comfortable mood and atmosphere Music works well Gameplay is incredibly limited but of course that's intended and just part of the constraints the developers would have deliberately imposed upon themselves for simplicity; gameplay consists of running back and forth between various forest denizens, and also collecting things and then delivering them to aforementioned forest denizens Movement is a little iffy. Platforming is clunky; terrain isn't measured precisely in accordance with player's jump heights, and so it's not immediately apparent what jumps you're supposed to make and which you aren't. So navigating up to higher areas is usually just a matter of blindly brute forcing via every possible discernible path, which results in unsatisfying traversal and navigation. But then again, this approach can also create the dynamic of having to consciously contend with the terrain and plan your ascent through certain parts of the game, making for at least somewhat engaging platforming. Not a game breaker though; I quite like running around simple environments like this, and so I spent quite a bit of my time just wandering through the forest and getting the lay of the land, even if some of the basic platforming mechanics come off as poorly polished. If you enjoy simple 3D environments you might enjoy this aspect of the game. Strangely there's almost no juice when picking things up; no animation, particles, or even sound effect, and also no additional details re. exactly what it is you picked up or what it's for, so you need to use the clumsy pause window in order to ascertain that. The UI by the way is a pretty striking weakness here. It's poorly responsive and overly cumbersome. The dialogue is...well...it depends what you're into There's almost no capitalisation, and is characterised by the sort of grammar and syntax you might expect to find in the typical 10 year old's text messages. And that's in addition to a wild smattering of spelling errors, not all of which are deliberate. This will suit some, as you can really turn your brain off. For others, it might strike you as thoroughly uncreative - and even soulless - dialogue for attentionally deficient and chronically online social media addicts Most characters are hopelessly oversimplistic two dimensional stereotypes. The game and narrative is permeated by an almost cloying atmosphere of inane and vapid feel-good pop psychology with hamfisted moral teachings amply spread throughout to bash the player over the head with. Also, it's a pronoun game, with every second character being a they. Again, depends on who you are, as this will mesh with some people's proclivities and not with others. At one point you can hop on a ladybug and have it slowly walk you around in circles. That's pretty neat The little treetop village is nicely done, even if there aren't any interiors anywhere in the entire game and all doors are just set dressing The ending is a little bizarre, as several of the animals refer to instruments which they are supposedly playing, but there's no change whatsoever to either their 3d models or 2d sprites, and so the impression is that they're deludedly referring to imagined instruments that they're hallucinating. The story/dialogue pretty clearly implies some degree of developer self insert There's a literal fat cat who's hoarding a pile of gold in his treehouse and who is perfectly apathetic to his tenants. Other characters decry him as a 'capitalist', including the player character Player character even unironically refers to "wealth distribution", which is in fact acted upon later in the game. No nuance or subtlety in characterisation, just very two-dimensional and therefore boring although again, to be fair, almost all characters get this 2d treatment. Of all things, this part of the game struck me as a shameless developer self insert; entitled, bitter, resentful. So yeah, depends what you're into. Unimpressive superficial dialogue making for poorly characterised paper cut out characters who, taken together, act as little more than vessels for the developer's sociopolitical leanings; But the world is charming, the music is soothing, and many find this a chill and relaxing way to spend a few hours.
Very cute game, worth an afternoon of playtime.
got this on a sale, decent fun little game. I would recc Little Gator Game sooner than this game for a cozy experience where you just run around & have some mindless fun. wish this had more to offer in terms of funny dialogue & story. but the character creator was lovely. loved the cute outfits & hats :). But I personally wouldn't pay full price for a <2.5 hour experience that didn't strike me as entirely unique, but it does still have a sweet message & some nice aspects.
A very tentative recommend and certainly only at the sale price. Very cute and I loved the art, but there were definitely some bugs (they all resolved fairly easily for me in the end, but definitely still annoying.)
Recomendo pra quem gosta de jogar uma coisinha leve e pra quem gosta de parkour. Divertido, mas tenha paciência.
Perfectly okai game that amounted to an evening worth of gameplay. Some bits do feel a bit unfinished or unrefined, but overall a cozy and fun game!
having played through the whole game i can say that i definitely reccomend it!! it's a very cozy, fun and uncomplicated game that makes it easy to unwind and relax. i'm a huge fan of the visual aspect, but the music and mechanics don't fall far behind either >:D thanks so much for this wonderfully light experience, would love to see more!
It's a very cute, simple game. As long as you're good at juggling your character around an unmapped map you'll do great and finish in under 4 hours gameplay!
