it sucked...me in with how good it is

turns out it's a blast to just have a bunch of little guys.

A very charming and short game inspired by the Pikmin series. The story is fun to follow and the characters all have interesting personalities. There were a few times where I got stuck and was unsure of how to progress, but I eventually figured it out.

This game really surprised me with how fun it was.

It's a great Pikmin-inspired game, with some modern sensibilities that help make the game more approachable. The art is gorgeous, the story is heartwarming and sad at the same time, the music is lovely, and the gameplay is a great mix between puzzle-solving and action.

It falls short in just a couple of places. The crafting system isn't really explored that much, I was expecting there to be more recipes than there were, and sometimes the "pikmin" AI doesn't work the way you would expect it to. However, these are only minor complaints.

A great game overall!

Wonky game pad controls and a bit longer than it needed to be, but fun setting and games mechanics.

"we have pikmin at home"

but actually really good?

biggest complaint is I wanted a way to mass control so my lil dudes at once instead of only being able to toss one at a time but I eventually set up a turbo button and that made it less annoying

besides that, very much just pikmin with a different (very pretty!) outfit and some extra light mechanics sprinkled on top
