I grew up with Pikmin 1 and it is one of my favorite games ever. So, I am forever lured to any games similar to it. This game has a few key similarities to Pikmin, but it is a collect-a-thon platformer and not a strategy game. It is cute and delightful with a gorgeous art style, similar to Paper Mario.

You are an shrunken character exploring a house inhabited by insects. Each room represents a level and an entirely unique environment. Exploring is fun and easygoing, enhanced by the cheerful soundtrack. The game is straightforward with a few well hidden secrets to find. You also meet many humorous NPCs. My favorite is a group of tired looking silverfishes named Chill, Reelaks, Napp, etc.

While the story isn't great, it is pretty mysterious and the game has plenty of world-building. It concludes with a sweet and worthwhile ending. This is a joyous game that I am happy to have played.
