Smiled so much my face hurt. You literally can't touch this.
this is the only pastel twee game that's a mawkish metaphor about learning 2 cope with ur emotionz I can personally abide
It helps a lot that it gleefully turns its saccharine stupidity dial up to DANGEROUS levels and thereby comes across as a knowing satire of brain-melting veggie tales-style kid's media. i mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyUyNXEMw6w
it also helps a lot that it's literally one of the most visually beautiful games of all time!!! Every 23 y/o e-girl SAIC alum is trying desperately to imitate this style (and good for them!!!!)!

This is a game that is absolutely supposed to be meant for children, from its mostly-silly plot and colorful, weird characters, and especially its low difficulty. Yet, for one thing, the writing is something that probably would've warranted a strange T-rating had it ever been shipped in the US ("Your mom is bitchin'!"). For another, the mechanics and world are so well-thought-out and creative that I couldn't help but love essentially every minute of this game. Genuinely, this game may only take 4 to 5 hours to complete, but those are some delightful 4 to 5 hours.
It could've done with an analog camera and a more efficient way to lob Poins, I'll admit. But damn, this really is just a perfect import, down to having an entire English localization on the disc (I wouldn't be shocked if some of the curse words were a planned feeble attempt to sell the game to older audiences who would've looked at the cover and scowled). Maybe there are better platformers out there in the world, but no game may ever feel like this, unless it gets a sequel by sheer luck.
