“Over the last few years, I have become a fan of the collectathon genre of game due to the nostalgia I have for the 90s, despite the fact that I was too young to remember all but like 1999. I didn’t even have an N64, and…”

“Very fun puzzle platformer reminiscent of golden-era N64 platformers in both style and substance, at least as your memories tell you those games looked and played. Combat-free, charming characters, and a final "boss"…”

“Cutesy 3D platform game, fairly difficult / a little challenging. But if you really like 3D platforms this is worth checking out. Price tag seems a little high for the quality of it, maybe rec. waiting for a sale to hit…”
“Well, I got to say, I think I am getting a vast appreciation for n64/ps1 graphics the older I get, got it as part of a bundle for like a buck. This was a cute game that actually had a bit of challenge and what was nice…”
