I can't believe Google went so hard for this. Not just 7 pretty fun minigames, but an entire island with its own unique themes and citizens, complete with sidequests. And you can pick a team to compete against players all over the world while feeling that sense of unity.

If I'm being honest though I think it could have dropped the sidequest part. While exploring the world the first time is fun, and a neat way to give a bit of personality to the minigames themselves, actually going back and forth to complete them gets too repetitive, especially with the slow walking speed.

The minigames are mostly pretty fun. I especially like the Rugby and Rhythm games. But of course it's ultimately nothing great in and of itself, it's just impressive that Google put so much effort into a promotional game like this.

Did you realise you can fast travel with the compass?

Yeah but you still gotta walk through all the islands various times. Especially annoying in Tanooki City

True. I was thinking that's some determination if you hadn't realised.
