Tosbik Around The World

This is a cute little game with suprising amount of content. I really loved some of hand crafted designs and especially liked the hand drawn animations as well. You can spice up the game play with the Store where you can get Pengiuns help or Crabs help with earned Sea Shell currency throughout the game. The advancement you can make to these skills in the store is also I think suprisingly varied as well. I still came across some bugs but I am sure the devs will fix those soon as well. Overall I was more than satisfied with the amount of content. It also has beautiful, soothing sound track as well!

When I initially reviewed this game, I was having issues with starting the game in both the Windows and Linux builds. After notifying the developer of this, they updated the game to fix the issues I had been having (game runs fine on both Windows and Linux now, and runs great on the Steam Deck) which is a level of attention a lot of developers on Steam don't give, so kudos for that! As for the game itself, I have some mixed feelings. The art and art direction are great, I like the themes and general presentation, it's overall a cozy package which is nice. The game's mouse support isn't very good, which means playing largely with gamepad or keyboard, though gamepad feels a lot better in this case. The game still has a few notable bugs, the most notable of which was that I was unable to earn shells when completing levels, which rendered the store completely unusable, locking much of the game's abilities and content away. Since the abilities you unlock through the store provide needed support as the levels become more challenging, this renders later levels extremely challenging, and progression frustrating. Furthermore, the game does not save progress on restarts, so every time you launch he game you begin again with only the first level available in the level select screen. Overall, the game still has some issues I hope Siriculo Games addresses, but for the price, the quality of the art, cozy vibes, and dedicated support I have received is well worth the purchase.
