A fantastic 3-D platformer. Tinykin pays tribute to the of the best old school era with superb controls, fantastic level design and an art style that makes it standout. It introduces Pikmin esque mechanics to differentiate it from its piers.
Still, the Pikmin parts bring out its biggest flaw, its easy difficulty. Every puzzle consists of gathering enough Kins to go to the context sensitive puzzle and throw the little creatures at it. The one exception is the green kin, the best one in the game, that makes ladders for you on the surface of anything big enough to support it.
That aside, Tinykin's greatness comes from the level design and tight controls. Every nook and cranny you explore in these Honey I Shunk the Kids inspired levels makes you achieve meaningful progress towards your objectives while opening useful shortcuts along the way. The levels are constructed from household everyday items transformed into a society run by critters. Its truly inspired.
Its a no brainer to get if you have an affinity for the genre. Tinykin is one of the most fun titles released this year.
