As everyone has already said, this game is incredible. It reminds me of Mario Odyssey and other 3D platformers, but has its own identity. There is really good variety in the jumping puzzles which makes it a lot of fun and it never gets boring. I love the way you use your fishing rod throughout the demo, yes you read that right. DEMO. This demo took me 10 hours to 100% (mostly because I wasn't thorough enough the first time visiting areas and had to do a run around 2-3 times checking each area I missed some coins). If you play well enough and make sure to collect everything in an area, I reckon it should take you 8 hours to 100% it. I found myself getting frustrated at certain parts, but I realized it was because I was doing it wrong, so it wasn't the game's fault, but my own. Once you understand the mechanics is very satisfying to run through each area. The level design is amazing and the secrets are fair and fun to find. Also the soundtrack is great. It really captures the vibe of each area. I honestly thought I didn't care for 3D platformers anymore, but this game changed my mind. I am mindblown that this is just the prologue and it gives about 8 hours of gameplay. If you love smooth 3D platforming and love jumping puzzles, download this! It is free and it won't disappoint. I will definitely be getting the full game once it releases.

great game concept ruined by absolutely frustrating wall running and wall jumping mechanics leaving you with absolutely no control in the air leading you to falling to yet again the bottom of the dungeon or when you're jumping from wall to wall it can be easy to just jump on the wall between the two you're jumping to leading you to jump right off which just leads to unnecessarily hard challenges, it would be much appreciated if you were able to double and triple jump like in other platformers to allow you greater mobility in the air.
Cant rebind controls. Why?
Very honest good fun. You're gonna need to poke around to figure out how the game works, and that's kind of pleasant if you like to experiment. Super satisfying payoffs
Feels like they never intended anyone else to play this. Controls are insanely precise and the game starts off with challenges that should be at the end of a game, not the very beginning. You're given an extremely simple tutorial that doesn't prepare you whatsoever for any of the game, and once you get into a section, you'll be stuck wondering if you're missing something, or if the developer really intended for you to do things absolutely perfectly, or to fall down and restart the entire section. It's a disrespectful game. It feels like they hate you for playing it. Which is a huge shame because there's an insane level of quality here throughout. But it's absolutely wasted on making the game extremely difficult for absolutely no reason.
I think the game would have benefited if it had quadruple the vases and pots
GOOOOD GAME CANT WAIT FOR THE FULL RELEASE, THE GAMEPLAY IS SMOOTH AND SATISFYING, AND THE DIEGETIC LEVEL DESIGN LENDS THIS GAME A SENSE OF CONSIDERED REALISM THAT OTHER 3D PLATFORMERS OFTEN LACK. IF THE FULL RELEASE LIVES UP TO THE TACKLEBOX, ITS SAFE TO SAY THAT THE 3D PLATFORMER GENRE HAS FOUND ITSELF A NEW CLASSIC.
This game's got The Sauce™
The Big Catch: Tacklebox foi um jogo que eu não sei como nunca ouvi antes. Esta demo genuinamente me fez lembrar de como jogos de plataformas são legais, e espero poder comprar o jogo final quando ele sair. Recomendo!
Free prologue that plays better than most paid games.
