This is one of those games where I think back on it and can only go "Ahh, damn. Klonoa"
A unique experience like no other game I've ever played. The beginning level sets the tone for the rest of the game. It's absolutely blossoming with vibrant colors and cuteness. The gameplay is simple yet fun and the charm of the game is most distilled into how you attack enemies: you blow them up so they're fat full of air and throw them into other things. You can even bounce on the bigger boned enemies. I don't really like platformers but this game opened me up to them. Getting 100% is also very attainable yet still satisfying.
The boss fights are all super fun and some mind-bending and a bit trippy - again, full of colors. The characters and bosses all feel like like a they're from a really cozy kid's cartoon. There's some really nice humor and charm in their dialogue and personality that will make you smile each time you encounter them - one my favorite characters is the snappy recurring antagonist minion.
Your sidekick, Huepow, is one of the cutest characters I've ever seen in video games, or any media ever. His voice is like rainbow cotton candy and each time he lets out a squeak, it's good for your soul. On top of all this, the game manages to have an emotionally touching narrative. Masterpiece.
Getting emotional just thinking about it again :)
