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.

Simple, effective, delightful. Pretty much every second of this game was fun. Controlled really well, levels were different enough to keep things interesting and a bit of a challenge there if you want to find all the pollen etc. And if you don't, it's just a breeze bombing around the levels and unlocking stuff.
I couldn't get enough of this game! The puzzles were so fun while the gameplay and the levels were so well crafted.

A relaxing game made with love for another game. Pikmin. For those who like to collect everything on a level, this is definitely one of the best projects.
Релакс игра, сделанная с любовью к другой игре. Pikmin. Для любителей собирать все на уровне, это однозначно один из лучших проектов.

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.

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.

Pikmin's little brother with a PNGTuber as your main character it may be, but the gameplay is insanely fun and creative and has some of the most inventive, peaceful level designs I've played through in some time. Wish it were just a little longer.
juego facil, corto y bonito 10 de 10
Very fun little platform we with pikmin like creatures. Really enjoyed it
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%.
