within the first five minutes this might just seem like a blatant pikmin ripoff, but it will slowly reveal itself as a quality 3D platformer heavily inspired by pikmin. it's fairly short, but it's another good example of quality over quantity. the world has a ton of charm all its own. there's also no combat, and the core gameplay is enjoyable enough without it, so its absence is actually pretty refreshing.

i have always liked games where you look at the mundane human world from a different, smaller, perspective. it gives everyday life a sense of adventure... possibly reminding me of playing with toys when i was a kid; viewing a bed as a building or a dresser as a hotel for insects, etc.

i think my only complaint is that this is entirely too easy, it only gets slightly challenging when you want to 100% it, but finding every item seems more tedious than is worth it.

you could do a lot worse for 6-10 hours.
