    If you’re desperate for a platformer, you might find some redeeming qualities here. Overall, the game took me under 5 hours to beat, but completionists might need an extra few hours. This game could have been something exceptional, and hopefully, the devs take this criticism as an opportunity to add more polish to the game with future updates.

    So good I bought it three times!
    After seeing me play the Steam version both my Kids (5 & 7) wanted me to get this for their Switches.

    The game is beautiful looking, charming and with a great soundtrack.
    As others have mentioned the game is a throwback to the platformers of the 90's so you will see inspiration from all your favourites like Mario, Sonic, Donkey Kong, Kirby etc, however I also felt there was a Little Big Planet vibe as well showing some more modern inspirations.

    The game has plenty of varied locations and the game play is different enough in each level to keep you entertained with some levels stepping very much outside the traditional 2D platformer genre.

    Whilst there is nothing genre defining in this game, its cute graphical style, relaxing soundtrack and familiar game play mean you cant help but enjoy yourself. Its not overly challenging as an adult, although I did find that a few of the final levels required a number of tries and both the Candy boss and the final boss were more challenging than any of the others. Younger kids might find some of the levels frustrating but I would say no more so that I did as a kid playing this style of game in the 90's however kids games tend to be a little more forgiving now.

    There are a few niggling issues, the odd buggy space where something might not quite work as it should but nothing that spoils the experience.
    The Gems seem arbitrary and I can't figure out how many i need for an extra life or what the purpose of having the differ denominations of gems is rather than just one type, but again this didn't impact my experience negatively.

    Thoroughly recommend for anyone who enjoys platformers, and think its a great wholesome, fun and charming game for the kids.    … Full Review »

    Cute and precious, well worked, bugless movement, nice plot. I can call this game as ART. I reccomend it to you if you want to play a cute platformer.

    Fantastic little family-friendly 2D-platformer with nice artworks and nice game play.
