How it feels

A cheerful and familiar 3D collect-a-thon that feels like a nostalgic trip back to late-90s platformers, constantly rewarding exploration with new levels and unlocks.

What players say

Players praise this as a genuinely fun throwback to N64 collectathon platformers like Banjo-Kazooie, with a charming aesthetic, a hub world that evolves as you progress, and a hefty 15-20 hours of content. Opinions split on the bosses, which some find repetitive. There are bugs, especially in the fourth world, but most say they are minor and the developer is responsive.
