charmingly amateurish and surprisingly functional given all movement options you can chain together
also, look up slime boy from high guardian spice, every single character talks like this

This game is definitely aimed for a young audience and I think it would be perfect as someone's first platformer. As an adult, I'd still highly recommend. There's something very special about this game. The art style and storytelling is fun. Your character's movement can feel strange at first, as it is much more floaty than a lot of other 3D platformers. However, once you get the hang of it, you'll be soaring around levels in ways that are profoundly fun and satisfying.

It is what it is. Simple, short platformer that's made for kids.

Controls were floaty but never frustrating and the different mechanics in each section are all done well enough. Nothing too challenging.

Got all the trophies in about 5 hours start to finish, not the worst way to spend a lazy Sunday.

this game felt like a dream i wouldve had when i was like 8

whoever voiced vendrick fucking slayed btw shout out to that guy in particular

six year old azzy's favorite game ever. george feels far more like a Toy in my hands then any other 3d platformer character ive ever controlled...floaty, forgiving, and endlessly soft to the touch. the cast of Magical Orphans ticks every box from wish fulfilling freedom and community to overwhelm and spite and melancholy. even the finnicky vehicles feel fun and toylike. feels like a game u rent for the ps2 and have great memories with and no one else has heard of, and given how unfairly obscure this still is ig its not too far off from the truth. a place to go to be happy. and ofc the whole impetus behind the game is heartmeltingly sweet...hope that any kids who play it enjoy it as much as the little in my head did

More fun than I expected because you could manipulate the game into letting you do what was essentially 5 jumps without touching the ground. Despite being very ugly this was charming and I like that it is inspired by the mascot for a children's hospital :)
