“What a great game, and what a talented indie studio. This really brought back Pikmin and PS1 Toy Story game feel for me. Just fun to play, the platforming felt good, and the mechanics of the game kept me going. And the…”

“Reminds me of the old Dreamcast days. Worth a playthrough for sure. But don't let my playtime fool you. It is not that long. I spent most of that idle. Nothing really challenging, though the speed trials are tight.…”

“So much fun. Large open world that's is full of detail. The main storyline feels short, but there is still much more to explore beyond that.”

“Tinykin it's a weird game. It's absolutely charming, and somehow addicting, but it has many flaws. The platforming elements are very poor, and it's not pleasant to control Milo. The core gameloop revolves around…”
“[h1]Rating:[/h1] 8/10 [h1]TL;DR:[/h1] Tinykin is a fun little Pikmin-like that doubles as a collect-a-thon. Has a sort of nostalgic feeling of just wandering around, gathering your army of little guys and searching for…”

“It deserves far more attention than it gets. A true hidden gem among platformer-collectathons. Absolutely fun to play. The art style is charming. Level design is solid. I'd love to see a DLC or a sequel. Very easy to recommend.”
— a player, Steam review · 9 hrs played“Really enjoyable collect-a-thon. Only lasted 8 hours -- but only paid $5. Reminds me of older collect-a-thon games like Spyro, Banjo-Kazooie, & Gex but with the premise of Pikmin. Game looks good, runs good, and is cute/fun overall. Fun game to 100%. Gets a little tedious to try…”
— a player, Steam review · 8 hrs played“We need Tinykin 2! Very fun 3D Platformer game, this is more on a cosy side of 3D Platformer compared to other platformer games. Achievements are fun to obtain, although the final 4 are bugged and you'd need to revisit each level again to unlock it all. Now give us Tinykin 2 and…”
