Become friends with the native gophers that inhabit the island, who will try and help you in your quest to get back home again.

I like this game’s idea but not all of it is designed well. The game is kind of a metroidvania with the collectathon and being able to find them after having your skills unlocked but the map is very unpleasant to navigate. You have a map that is a bit useless in terms of showing you the lay-out of the levels. You can teleport but only the hub area of each world. You can’t teleport back where you were either. The platforming can feel very clunky because of the hit box and the fact you’re only allowed to have one skill at a time. You switch skills at a save point. I can understand they did it to keep certain sections challenging but it ruins the pace. I normally try to collect everything if a game is fun but I didn’t do it because of the reasons I mentioned. And even if I want to, you’ll reach a point in the game where you can’t go back to collect things anymore. I was trying to finish the game quickly and be done with it near the end. Shame, because the rest is not bad.
