A nostalgic homage to the 64-bit era of collectathons that controls better than both its namesake and its inspiration. As a kid with a Nintendo 64 in the 90s, I have much more endearment towards this form of gaming nostalgia that hearkens back to these polygonal memories, so to see a quirky little game come out in 2022 that tries its hardest with minimal resources to capture the essence of games like Banjo-Kazooie really brightens my day especially when it succeeds at almost every level. Divided into various worlds that will have you exploring each of them in all its platforming glory by utilizing reminiscent moves such as jetting and gliding but also bold new ideas like poking walls with your kiwi beak and jumping upwards creating a whole new dimension of possibilities. Costing about $3 and less than 2 hours of your time to complete, as barebones as it may be, I’m very optimistic to see what the developer can make with a bit more money and time in its sequel.
