this game was great! was fun to run around in, looks amazing, and is filled to the brim with charm. i was surprised how fun moving was, for something so simple and easy you never really expect fun movement but the bubble and especially the soap are really fun! that being said it is a very simple and easy 3d platformer, so if you're looking for challenge in any regard this doesn't have it. no consequences to any mistakes aside from wasting a bit of time, not that it's an inherent negative it should just be said. i didn't have a problem with it but i can't say some interesting (even if optional) challenges wouldn't have bumped this up some points.
the story and soundtrack were kinda nothing to me, i skipped most dialogue i just wasn't interested. the soundtrack was fine but never stood out as like "hell yea this song rocks!" or anything. the cutscenes were really well animated and were fun to watch though!
my gripes with this game come from a completionist standpoint, there's achievements to collect every tinykin in all levels and get every bit of pollen in every level. the concept isn't a problem, but the levels can be pretty big and there's zero radar whatsoever. some sort of spyro esque sparks system to point me towards the last few things i was missing would have been a game changer for sure. i also had a bug that said i was missing 1 tinykin in the first level so i ran around for like genuinely 40 minutes trying to find it, only to realize that leaving and reentering the level i wasn't missing one at all and the counter was off. that was a weird bug but a radar of sorts would have really helped me out in this situation especially! it's just kinda frustrating not knowing where 1 piece of pollen you missed is and searching endlessly for it. also, it's a smaller thing but i would have liked the ending sequence to be a bit more interesting. you just kinda go to the attic and find a dude to finish the game, it would have been great if they did some big final level utilizing all of the tinykin and their abilities to reach him instead of just walking up and ending the game. felt a bit anti climactic for sure.
this game is super great and worth a download if you have gamepass! $25 could be seen as a little steep considering it took me 7 hours to 100% it, but i think it's fun enough that i wouldn't have felt ripped off paying that.
