This reminds me a lot of Yoku's Island Express. Though very different, it's a game that gets a lot of charm from dialogue between characters. The fact that this game lacks dialogue shows how much more character could be displayed with it.
Even though the gameplay is different, this reminds me of Lost in Play, and I really liked that game. I love the art style here and the background to the levels. Price feels a bit steep though, so I'll add it to the wishlist and wait until I see it on a Sunday sale video.
This is one of my favorite games. I definitely think it’s underrated! The more you play, the harder it gets, but the more rewarding the progress becomes. I love it!
The game looks wonderful with his lovely palette of colors and sweet Ukulele music ❤️ Also not having written dialogues or directions feels like something new…ok you got me interested and ready to add more backlog 💪🏼
@@mick2287 My comment and the part of the video I referred to were about how value is decided, not the relative significance of value vs other factors.
Just played and was fruatrated to find out the hard way that there is no save feature in the demo!? Or is there somewhere and im being thick? Can anyone help or confirm please?
I tried the demo, and while it was cute I felt some of the challenges were a bit unfair. It might have been the demo limiting what I could do though (couldn't seem to be able to grapple the hooks in the demo, which limits what you can do in a stage). Still, it looks like a solid game, just not for me maybe...
I've always found the character design... unsettling... Not harping on anyone who finds joy in it but it's really not something I would grab for others. Lol
The end score didnt update when i uploaded spoiler its 82%! 😂 This one looks very nice - what do you guys think? Mark
Lovely looking game and great review as usual, but shouldn't the score be 82%?🤔😂
A game that cures being old and grumpy?
I'll take 12.
@@jess2109yep!!
@SwitchUpYt you guys were teachers 😂 🫂 👀
@@SwitchUpYt It's okay, we can totally forget it happened. I love you guys too much and almost didn't say anything 🤭😅

Think there is a demo available for this too. Also saw the callback there with "tentacular" nice 😂. Thanks Holden and SwitchUp Gents!
Thanks. I may have to go download it!
The squishy plush!! Soooo cute. I have this downloaded after playing the demo. Looks great
I just picked this up and I’m 41yrs old!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Glorious! Mark
What does your age matter...some of the developers are older than you, they created the game? What's it say about them? Huh lol. Play the game
Haha I'll be 41 this year too, very intersted in this
I picked it up also turning 41. I play whatever I feel like. I care less about that even more now I am older compared to when I was younger.
as a fellow 40 something, i ended up playing tomb raider again. 😂
This is one of my favorite games. I definitely think it’s underrated! The more you play, the harder it gets, but the more rewarding the progress becomes. I love it!
Oh yes, we DO like a Donkey Kong roll-jump!...
Although it breaks most of Newtons laws of physics... I won't tell him if you don't!
Nice review Holden
Man, this is screaming hidden gem. I love the little octopus buddy
Onto the wishlist it is then!
I really love how the Switch is still getting some good games this late in its life cycle.
" With the Switch in its seventh year of life..." 😮
My Switch only just having turned 3 in December... 😅
Quick question, is that box with the plushie you showed us at the end of the video a press releaae copy of the game? Can't seem to find it anywhere!
Yes mate just the game itself is available I believe! Mark
This game has such a cute art style, it can definitely help make it feel more relaxing.
This could be like a "my first platformer" for someone who never played one.
I love the "Tentacular" callback
Haha you know it!
The octopus buddy is a wonderfull idea
Man, if I had the funds, I might actually pick this up. How is it that the Switch has so many great games?! Good grief! My wallet cannot keep up!
Getting this one for my kids, but if they start going around calling “lifts” “elevators” I’ll go mad
Hey this looks alright! But definitely a sales pickup for me.
Thanks to play and review our game 🐙😀
How long to complete? Is there a post game collection clean up?
A definite buy for a definitely charming game! 😊
“It’s like reading a book, while your sunbathing, only you’re on the back of a jet ski!”... I do like a good puzzle platformer ✔️
The game looks wonderful with his lovely palette of colors and sweet Ukulele music ❤️ Also not having written dialogues or directions feels like something new…ok you got me interested and ready to add more backlog 💪🏼
Is my math off, or should the overall score be 82 based on the individual scores?
Yes lol what on earth I changed that!
@@SwitchUpYtgo to the naughty corner 😂
The art stlye seems similar to me to that of Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion
People really say price doesn't affect value?? It's one of the most important factors. It's like saying that length doesn't affect area.
Quality > value. If you want value, there are plenty of great free to play games that can give you almost unlimited of the ‘value’ that you are after.
@@mick2287 My comment and the part of the video I referred to were about how value is decided, not the relative significance of value vs other factors.
oh this looks really nice
Thanks for the review guys!
Lol. I love that roll jump. Yes. Looks like i'll be adding this into my wishlist. 😋
Will definitely pick it up in the future. Looks so charming!
You say lift, we say Prä-meh-näd ;-p
This game is a mix from klonoa and phoenotopia awakening is a remix😊
This looks good
I am uncertain how to save in this game. I thought it autosaves, well it does, but not always.
Looks pretty.i like the palette and art style, but i dont play that kind of games anymore.i need action rpg to have fun.😊
How long the game ?
Just played and was fruatrated to find out the hard way that there is no save feature in the demo!? Or is there somewhere and im being thick? Can anyone help or confirm please?
I don’t see the code for 10% off at Red Deer.
Looks good for sure. Good game for the library

Looks fine but not my cup of tea.
Any news on biomutant? When it will be release?
Great review, that looks adorable!
How do you think it would play for a young kid, let's say 7-10? Is it forgiving enough?
I think yes
Looks like a lovely stroll
Definitely a game i would have probably bypassed but after seeing this definitely downloading the demo! Cheers guys 👍
Now this is a perfect kids game. Better than Peppa pig
I've always found the character design... unsettling...
Not harping on anyone who finds joy in it but it's really not something I would grab for others. Lol
A little too cutesy for me. Good thing, too, since my backlog is bursting at the seams.
So much whimsy.
I like the old collectathons.
2D platformers are a hard sell...but Octopus friend!
84, 82, what's the difference ahaha good game regardless...great review guys
This looks cute
Nice!
Nice games but maybe just not for me.. Games looks cool tho.
Why is it so hard for you to say "prom-en-ard" how it's supposed to be pronounced? Whoever heard of walking along a "prom-en-aid"?
I was looking forward to switch 2 this year, but I hear its delayed to 2025😡
This game the tutorial is crappy and if you asked me that makes it a bad game it sucks ass
