A great retro throwback 3D collectathon in the vein of Banjo-Kazooie, executed to a stupidly high level of quality, Corn Kidz 64 was a game that truly engrossed me with its puzzle filled world to explore. Controls are fluid, animations are extremely bouncy and stylised - as are the low poly retro aesthetics - and scouring the game's level for XP cubes was a blast. The platforming controls are extremely fluid, allowing you to chain tons of jumps and horn dashes together by using specific level objects. The game's XP cubes are hidden everywhere, but the best secrets lie behind careful analysis of the game world and then executing chains of jumps to access them. Extra hidden collectibles are concealed in truly obscure areas, the vast majority of which I could not find (the few I went out of my way to Google the location and try to get were a pain to reach), but at least there is still things to find if I decide to return down the line, as is the final difficult gauntlet level. Highly recommend it, especially since its so cheap! Absolutely worth the asking price.
