Pikmin meets Paper Mario (art style) meets the Mario Odyssey (level based exploration) meets... Tony Hawk Pro Skater?? (skating/grinding on the soapboard)... And it's good?!
It is amazing that a game that seems like such a mish-mash of other game genres and mechanics doesn't just avoid feeling like a rip off of each respective game, but feels both original and fun in its own right! The art style is what original pulled me in - the 3d environment with the 2d characters is such a good look. But I was surprised by just how quickly Tinykin pulled me in. The movement feels so fluid and nice to control. The gameplay and level design really encourages the "just 5 more minutes" type of gameplay to grab the next objective or get enough of whichever colored Tinykin you need. Music is great too!
Blown away by how much I enjoyed Tinykin. Give it a shot if you're at all interested, maybe it'll hook ya.
Oh and it's great on Steam Deck, the art style really seems perfect for it honestly.
