    Whipseey and the Lost Atlas shows promise with its cute art style and nice soundtrack, but without longer levels or collectibles to encourage replay value, the minor annoyances that drag this game down are all the more apparent. If you have a few bucks to blow, you can try it out, but otherwise just stay away.

    On paper Whipseey is a lovely tribute to the days of the Kirby games, but when the entire game is shorter than just the first world of Kirby's Adventure – which is already available as part of the Switch Online NES collection – we just can't recommend you spend your money on it. If this was a free demo teasing a full adventure we'd be demanding you play it, but if this is really all there is that's incredibly poor.

Whipseey has colorful graphics, charming enemies, fun bosses, good pacing, and the controls are great. I can't find any fault with the game. Sometimes you'll die, but you learn to adapt. The world has become so soft that these baby critics ragequit when they die to a spike. Do yourself a favor and play this game. It's short, but It's easily worth the $6, Also, the developer announced free updates.… Full Review »

Whipping enemies, swinging, gliding--you have so much control over the soon-to-be famous pink puff Whipseey. I've been playing this game over and over and can't get the music out of my head. It's so catchy. This game oozes charm and should be enjoyed by all.… Full Review »
