Recién me entero hoy de la existencia de este juego, y no lo pude dejar hasta terminarlo al 100%. Que puedo decir, la mejor relación calidad precio, un plataformero 3D retro al estilo Nintendo 64 por menos de 3 dolares. Y sí, el juego es corto, fácil, y muy simple. Pero cargado de nostalgia noventera. El control es excelente tanto de Kiwi como la cámara (ya hubiesen querido muchos juegos de 64 lograrlo tan bien) pero el juego es solo lo que promete y nada mas, un collect a ton fácil para niños y grandes. No tiene historia, ni cinemáticas, y las animaciones cumplen con lo justo, sin regalar nada mas. Divertido de principio a fin por su alegre música y su propuesta artística que aunque minimalista, es hermosa. Los ultimos niveles pueden dar un poco de dificultad de completar al 100, pero en general es un juego para que cualquiera disfrute sin preocuparse mucho, con puzzles sencillos que se resuelven solos si simplemente somos observadores. Le doy un puntaje alto porque para lo que pagué, quedé muy complacido.
Kept thinking how much this reflected Toree's whole "cutesy platformer with dark undercurrents that are kind of just there without any elaboration" and only found out after beating it that it's the same dev lol oops!
Feels like it compromises the pretty empty worlds with a moveset that makes it really easy to quickly get around, reaching the tops of places and scoping out everything below is satisfying and all the levels are small enough that it's easy to map them out in your head.
It's half an hour of very nice feeling easygoing platformer collecting which seems to be the dev's entire moniker, hard to knock that especially with how quickly they seem to get made.

Controls - 10/10, lovely
Gameplay - 9/10, simple but gets the job done
Music - 8/10, good but could use more
Camera - 8/10, nothing to complain about much here but it had a couple moments where it was iffy
Sound Effects - 4/10, definitely need more going on here
Overall - lovely game, concise, good modernization of an N64 vibe. Simple but effective.

Complete playthrough, with all 50 gems collected. Super Kiwi 64 is a serviceable 3D platformer in the classic 'collectathon' style, spread across eight (very short) stages. Each has six gems to collect, from a combination of collecting all 'gear' pickups, pure platforming and some basic puzzle-solving (such as hitting all of a set of switches). What's here is decent enough, but not at all ambitious or novel. That said, for its very low price you could certainly do worse and Super Kiwi 64 can be an enjoyably mindless way to while away an hour.
unlike the toree games which i think excel at being a fun little experience, this left me rather disappointed there wasn't more to it. kiwi controls well and has a few fun moves but levels are so bland it feels like it's wasted here. in general the game feels a bit hollow which sucks because i do believe it's made by care. hopefully the dev chooses to create a more ambitious project next bc i'm sure it would turn out great.
This was a short but sweet 3D platformer with some fun traversal. I don't find time to game often, so I'm happy when I'm able to complete one. It took me about an hour to beat, only because I got stuck on the last stage - I didn't know you could swim, I always avoided deep water! The music and atmosphere is great and I'm looking forward to playing more of Siactro's games.
