Link Between Worlds item rental system over Toki-Tori gameplay. It's a fun idea with an impressive amount of puzzling from its small item set. A lot of time is spent moving through areas you've already explored to get to new stuff. There is the option to set the game to 5x speed, but I still spent a long time just walking through rooms that were useless to me. I like the 3d world map.
Really charming and fun! Enjoyment was mildly dampened by how much of my time was spent backtracking because one mistake sent me halfway across the map
Elephantasy is brimming with charm yet lacking in substance. That isn't necessarily an issue, but I figured I should set some expectations for anyone interested in the game.
The core gameplay loop is a mix of Metroidvania and A Link Between World's rental system, where you use items to advance past certain obstacles on the map, but you must choose which items to take with you at a time. Find gems around the surprisingly wide world and upgrade your carry capacity until you can finally carry each item once.
There's a little synergy between items (namely between the ring and others), but it doesn't go far enough to create anything with a great amount of mechanical depth. It's just quaint, a pretty little game that won't challenge you too much or take too long. I liked it.

It’s cute, and short, and the way it builds on the use of its 4 tools gets pretty interesting by the end. Got 29/36 of the gems which I’m perfectly happy with. Unfortunately I did have a glitch where I accidentally used the vine in the ice master boss fight, causing his fist to go offscreen, which crashed my game. When it opened again, I had lost my rank but the gems I collected were gone from the world, so I had to start over. Annoying but the game is short enough that it wasn’t too hard to get back to where I was.
It's competent there's just really nothing going on to keep me engaged and the map feels pretty useless.
