Tiny Whiny Island

Cute, simple, relaxing, I like it.

Cute, chill and simple - for a good price :)

It's short but quite relaxing experience. The Plastecine Art Style carries it a lot and to say the truth some things could be better like the camera or the world which feels empty and would need a lot more things to do in. It also has exploit which let's you do jump and backflip at same time allowing you to perform massive jump and I quite liked that cause It lets you jump on things you wouldn't be able to jump on and It boosts you a bit. I hope We will see more games from Marshlander and that They will improve.

Simple, but pretty well-made, adventure game where you deliver letters to residents of a small island. Exploration similar to that of A Short Hike, just less complex, and on a bicycle. It's also a bit of a collect-a-thon, if you decide to get all optional stuff. [spoiler]Objectively:[/spoiler] 7/10

It’s a cute but very, very short game. You hop in , deliver a few messages, pick a few collectables and it is over before you know. But if you appreciate the Postman Pat vibe and are up for a relaxing experience just enjoying the scenery, it is worth the price. [h3]Steam Deck[/h3] Runs and looks really well on deck. No cloud save , but given how short the game is, that's not really a huge problem. 

[b]PROS:[/b] + chill music + collectibles + great on the Steam Deck [b]CONS:[/b] - wonky controls - lifeless world - super short - no steam cloud [b]Comment:[/b] Accidentally stumbled upon this game and thought I would give it a try. It looked cute and fun enough. Seemed like it could be inspired by Postman Pat. But upon starting the game you immediately notice the stiff controls. This is accompanied by useless moves assigned to buttons - backflip (in place) and wheelie (tilt backwards). Neither of these help when you get stuck in terrain. They are just for show and the trailer I guess. Now the island itself can be explored and there some interesting places, like the active volcano or the lighthouse. But most of it are just copy and paste models and roads that lead in a circle. The whole island, including the inhabitants, feels wooden and lifeless. What adds a little bit are the collectibles to add at least some extra game time. Speaking of game time, the "story" itself is almost non-existent. You deliver a couple of letters and that is it. It takes about an hour (or less) to do a 100% run, if you do not goof off or explore the island more. You do get to play after finishing the story, there are copy and paste messages (which you can peek into), but honestly - why would you? A nice game concept with poor execution. There is no time challenge to deliver. No punishment for looking into the letters. No extra lore to explore. So, while an interesting first game attempt by the devs, I can not recommend this game as it felt like a chore the whole time playing it. ------------------------------------------------------------------ [b]If you liked this review you can find more on the [/b][url=http://store.steampowered.com/curator/28638055-Subjective-Reviews-Corner/][u]Curator page[/u][/url][b] or in my [/b][url=http://steamcommunity.com/groups/srcorner][u]Review Corner[/u][/url][b].[/b]

This game is cute very chill i play on steam deck no issue 10/10 would play again. me out. cheers

I had a great time with this game. I enjoyed being able to cycle around and take my time with things. Only con is no invert y-axis on the controller, so I ended up playing keyboard and mouse instead.

Pretty much completed the game, its cute, its funny, its cosy. Exactly what it looks like. I would recommend for a cold night in, during the winter months. Good job with the game :)
