Tinykin is so charming, fun, and easy to play. I have not played much Pikmin and think this is more like 75% platformer, 25% puzzle game. They really nailed the appeal of being a little guy in a big world, as well as making it fun to traverse the area. The first few Tinykin you find don't immediately help with traversal, but once you get the ones that stack up and upgrade your float bubble you're zooming around the levels to find every nook and crany. And that's not even getting into the soapboard, which adds grinding - all video games should have grinding.

While the writing was sometimes way too chatty (think the later Mario + Luigi RPGs), the story was charming and fun throughout. I had so much fun exploring and doing everything in every map, and it was nice that at 6-8 hours it didn't overstay its welcome.

Fun 3D platfomer with a Pikmin 4 spin to it. You play as a shrunk down alien on earth going from room to room in a house completing quests for talking insects. You have multiple types of Tinykins to help you. These creatures that follow you around can do everything from lifting heavy objects for you to blowing up obstacles and creating bridges. Traversing the world is really fun as you have quite a few tools at your disposal to get around. The levels are not too long and there's no real challenge here but it's very fun to play.

within the first five minutes this might just seem like a blatant pikmin ripoff, but it will slowly reveal itself as a quality 3D platformer heavily inspired by pikmin. it's fairly short, but it's another good example of quality over quantity. the world has a ton of charm all its own. there's also no combat, and the core gameplay is enjoyable enough without it, so its absence is actually pretty refreshing.

i have always liked games where you look at the mundane human world from a different, smaller, perspective. it gives everyday life a sense of adventure... possibly reminding me of playing with toys when i was a kid; viewing a bed as a building or a dresser as a hotel for insects, etc.

i think my only complaint is that this is entirely too easy, it only gets slightly challenging when you want to 100% it, but finding every item seems more tedious than is worth it.

you could do a lot worse for 6-10 hours.

Paguei a língua com esse jogo. Quando foi anunciado o trailer, jurei que seria outro indie que se venderia pelo seu estilo gráfico, e nunca mais procurei saber sobre ele, até que tive a oportunidade de jogá-lo, e bem... que impressão errada que tive.

Tinykin é um jogo simples, porém que atende bem a sua proposta. É um jogo de pegar inúmeros itens (tinykins, pólens e objetos das quests de cada mapa), procurar interações em cada mapa e ver os diálogos com as criaturas do jogo, no qual alguns são bem engraçadinhos.

Não senti falta do combate, pois é muito agradável fuçar cada canto das regiões. Essa exploração é muito bem desenvolvida devido ao uso da barra de sabão (skate do jogo) e dos inúmeros atalhos que vão sendo habilitados conforme novos trechos do mapa são explorados.

É bem agradável usar os tinykins, gerando expectativa pelos próximos tipos que serão disponibilizados nos cenários seguintes. Gostei da variedade de função de cada um.

Este é um jogo curto (levei entre 6 e 7 horas pra finalizar), ponto que considero positivo pra evitar que enjoe, e é mais que o suficiente para trazer paz em jogar algo tão aconchegante. Minha sugestão é evitar rushar o jogo para que a experiência seja mais proveitosa e evitar que a gameplay fique saturada.

Tinykin is a very good game, centred around the protagonist who uses tinykin beings to solve puzzles and move the story forward.
From a gameplay point of view, the game is really very good, divided into several zones that can only be reached by finishing the previous one. The game does a good job of disseminating the mechanics, and the various tinykins are given to us as the game progresses, helping us to understand their usefulness in solving the puzzles.
Another important point is the movement aspect, because of its format, the game requires you to move around in order to find the elements needed to solve the puzzles, and I find that moving around is really enjoyable in this game.
From a story point of view, the game is fairly classic, so it's OK without going overboard and doesn't offer any replayability once the game is finished.
The game's sound design is really nice and the music is very pleasant, going well with the relaxing gameplay.
Finally, the game is visually stunning, with a unique aesthetic in which the main character stands out from the background, providing a nice contrast.
In conclusion, I think this game is really excellent at what it tries to do, and it's also just long enough to be fun (~4 hours without having done all the ancillary content) without being too long to go round in circles and become boring. So I'd recommend it for people who are looking for a relaxing game with fairly simple puzzles and a happy atmosphere.

A wonderful little platformer that takes some neat inspiration from collectathons and Pikmin to create a beautiful little game. It took me a while to get used to the platforming, and I found the grinding a bit finicky at first on mouse and keyboard, but once it clicked, it really clicked, and it was a blast speeding around the different rooms in the house and doing the time attack challenges. The story is relatively simple, but expands at the very end in some very neat and fun ways. It's absolutely beautiful, and the 2D + 3D styles mesh together so well.

I absolutely loved the objectives in each area, and the little side quests were really fun to go and complete. I liked the writing, though my only complaints is the further along I got the more referential it got in very obvious ways, and I hated having to help the bourgeoisie quell a rebellion, essentially, in helping make a cake.

Great game! I got it as a gift but would certainly have bought it, and I really enjoyed it! If you're looking for a platformer with some fun travel, check this out!
