With no tutorial, barely a UI, and not a single english character in sight for the entire game, HWMR is unleaded, stay home from church, rubber melting fun. I just wish it was longer.
More games should have secret tunnels, corridors, unexplained and unhinted stumble-upon-ables. This one has exactly 9, but they each feel like a handshake with bigfoot upon discovery. What if we kissed in the hidden star room through the snake's mouth on the toy track in hotwheels microracers?
Besides - what's not to love about a miniature environment? Minish cap, chibi robo, toy story for the playstation - all those games make the house feel bigger. If you ever went "ZHOOO00000M, BRRRRRRRRR, or even NYYEEeeeeuuww, with hotwheels. Or even raced with paperclips along your desk... Idk what else to say, this is that feeling.
Someone for the love of hasbro pick up the loose thread from this game. The sensation of racing little toys along a smooth surface, imagining your hand transparent to effortlessly picture the sickest tricks played out by your little car. That feeling, with all thresholds and simulacrums it crosses and carries in the human imagination, is one I'm dying to see explored in games.
