A short, easy, breezy Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze-inspired platformer. Cute and pleasant art and music and satisfying core controls carry thing this through its tad-too-easy level design balance. Being on the short side, I really didn't mind it being on the easy side; it was a nice little game to pop on the Steam Deck for a few levels each night.

There's a 10 level long volcano/dinosaur-themed post-game expansion that's worth the price of admission alone. The level design is far more complex and more difficult than the main game. The team improved so much between launch and that update that I would love to see what they do with a sequel. If they can carry the quality of that expac through an entire game, they'd have something super good on their hands.

As it stands, "Marsupilami: Hoobadventure" is a totally solid, pleasant, worthwhile little game for any fans of the DKC formula.
