Tinykin is a Pikmin-inspired puzzle-platformer that has completely won my heart. The level of passion and polish on display is undeniable. The art style is reminiscent of early-2000s cartoons and is presented in a uniquely stellar way that mixes 2D and 3D art. The soundtrack and overall audio design is terrific. What is there not to love?

The game exudes so much charm and excels in building a world and atmosphere that are beyond comforting. The world is chock-full of funny dialogue and references. The story features some neat commentary through its subtext.The gameplay is tight, addicting, and rewarding. I really didn’t want to put it down and ended up going for a completionist run that stretched the 6-hour runtime to 19 hours and I don’t regret it one bit.

Tinykin was just an adorable and comforting experience. Splashteam did a phenomenal job and I will definitely keep any upcoming release by them on my radar.

Vuelto a pasar porque es un gozo de jugar.

Su mayor maldición es que nadie pueda evitar describirlo como "la mezcla Pikmin-Chibi Robo-Banjo Kazooie" (peco también porque se nota mucho ese ADN aun siendo algo único en su mezcla final).

¡Y no se me ocurren muchas pegas tampoco! Tiene algún fallo menor, muy rara vez (especialmente en las terroríficas carreras de velocidad), pero no me imagino a alguien al que tras pasárselo le disguste.
Mucho sobre a qué juegos se parece y poco se habla que dan ganas de rejugarlo como quien juega a un juego de conducción arcade sin preocuparse por puntuaciones o desafíos.
El simple hecho de verlo y moverse en él satisface aun tras sacar el 100%.

Tinykin kinda feels like a combination between pikmin and mario odyssey, you get segmented open areas to complete 2-3 main objectives in and the actual gameplay lays in goofing around looking between all nooks and crannies to find all of the collectibles, it's a fun short experience which keeps you engaged with gameplay throughout all the experience with almost 0 down time
My only problem is that some tinykins feel like a solution to a problem that didn't exist, the blue and yellow tinykins have 1 use which feels like they made up the problem for it to solve, and you end up using them 2-3 times total in a level
Though I kinda dislike the art style of the characters, but that's just my personal taste

A fun little "Pikmin-like" where you're running around with all your helpers trying to pick stuff up. However, this is much more of a 3D explorer / collect-a-thon than Pikmin. You're exploring a huge abandoned human house in this game and I'm already a bit of a sucker for the "normal place but you're small" trope ever since the "rat maps" in Unreal Tournament 2004. There isn't any combat to lose Tinykin to, but you do start with 0 Tinykin of any kind whenever you enter a new room of the house which stops you from just bulldozing your way through a new room and allows for you to feel a new sense of progression as you hunt down all the Tinykin to add to your posse. Not the longest game nor the hardest (except for some of those time attack races), but certainly a fun game to go through with a lot of charming characters.

Tinykin es un título curioso y distinto, pero para mi gusto y criterio lo llamaría una obra maestra en su género. Si bien la historia nunca llega a un gran nivel de profundidad, su propuesta es más que interesante y es de esos pocos juegos que me dan ganas de saber más de lo que te cuentan mínimamente. Realmente Tinykin te da ganas de adentrarse en su mundo, pero no solo por su historia, sino porque te hace sentirte dentro del juego. Su ambientación es perfecta, cada nivel tiene un nivel de detalle único destacando por mucho el primero y el último; su Banda sonora encaja Perfecto con el juego y lo que busca generar; tiene NPCs poco memorables pero que sin duda te hacen la experiencia de juego llevadera y divertida y lo más importante, la mecánica pikmin está implementada a la perfección, sin tenerle nada que envidiar al padre del género y logrando diferenciarse por mucho de este. Tinykin es un juego con una escénica marcada, un apartado artístico más que memorable y Perfecto y unas mecánicas muy divertidas. Me atrevo a ponerlo en un top 5 de su genero

Wonderful little gem, it's been on my radar for a while but the Pikmin comparison sort of kept me at bay for a bit as I wasn't sure what kind of game Pikmin is - I still don't, but this was a charming collectathon platformer which is right up my alley.

I didn't pay much attention to the plot and story but the bits I caught were cute and serviceable for the gameplay. The variety of mixing up level design with the tinykin and adding depth to the exploration really hammered home the fun cosy experience. By the end some puzzle solutions were a touch tedious, waiting for the Tinykin to slowly carry the object from a to b got a bit tired but overall a wonderful game.

I held off on playing Tinykin for an unduly long time because I think the protagonist has a stupid haircut. As it turns out, even the in-game NPCs tend to express similar sentiments. Amusing.

The enviro art looks great, and calls to mind many hours spent traversing the world of Chibi-Robo. While Tinykin is clearly Pikmin inspired, it lacks any of the task-management of the series, and instead plays as a very conventional collectathon. Just rummage over every inch of level geo and pick up all the glowing edible looking collectibles on autopilot and the game will complete itself. Tinykin coasts by on delightful style and amusing NPC dialog to create a pleasantly memorable experience.

I gave up on trying to 100% my save, and am dearly wishing for a pollen radar. This is why I really don't like collectathons, they tend to resort to tedium rather than challenge. At least the time trials actually put your management of soap-board and bubble-hover schmoovement to the test. Showing that Tinykin can provide satisfying platforming sequences.

Enjoyment - 7/10
Difficulty - 2/10

Tinykin is the guy in the corner at a party wearing a Redbubble Pikmin t-shirt. Remember Pikmin guys?!

Tinykin provides a more forgiving, vertical platforming take on the Pikmin series. Nice to play, however I fear this might be forgotten or deemed an obscure platformer in the future.

Great concept with excellent execution, the game is, for the most part, very fun to play and explore. I personally love collect-a-thons and enjoyed finding every nook and cranny, but wish that there was an in-game way to help locate missing stuff, even if only post-game. Missing just one of 1000+ collectable pollen makes for a poor experience upon revisit, though the added racing component is a great touch with how fun the traversal can be. For what the game is, I would say it's a lovely experience. Great for puzzle and exploration fans, but a potential to mildly annoy completionists.

I liked this game.
If you need a cute game to chill - this is your choice.
Also i think it would be a great game to introduce someone to gaming, since there is no challenge here (except for races, that are not so hard anyway), and all puzzles (if you can call them that) are pretty easy.
Music is okay and it suits game well.
Downsides i could find - Sometimes you just stand there waiting for your tinykins to bring something somewhere and it can be annoying at times, but it only takes like a minute most of the times, so its not so bad.
Also, there is a lot of pollen and tinykins you can collect on each level, and i mean A LOT, like over a 1000 pollen on each level, and at some of them i still havent found like 5 pollen, because i feel like i've checked absolutely everything, but still can't find it. And there is no way to help yourself with locating it, so i just stopped caring. Again, it's not that big of a problem if you dont want to 100% it.
All in all, the game is really nice and was worth playing.
