A food named pup understands the challenge of self-worth, societal expectations , and the importance of creating your own value in life.
This game combines simple cutesy art with mental and emotional themes. It’s delves into fighting inner demons from yourself and others to break the barriers we put on ourselves. Battle trauma with art. The gameplay is really unique having to control
Both your character and a paintbrush with each joy stick. Simple and complex challenges with over 20+ hours of gameplay.
Each place you encounter can be colored in. You find things like brush styles that can make fun designs and textures. Spend hours hunting down collectibles or go to the art school and just draw. Or explore the map with most screens offers some type a puzzle to move ahead. As you obtain new skills it’s fun to explore the same areas to see if things were missed.
There are some physics issues that can hinder gameplay - especially puzzles that you have to sorta aim jump. The litter challenge felt impossible even with the hints. Litter is currency to some so it’s hard to know that you’ve actually collected and you only get a vague location hint. I wish at the end you could have received a gps upgrade like you get with the kids. Clothes were not as difficult since they are named you can find lists to see what you missed and look up the location. I had over 100 and was still missing items. I didn’t platinum the game as the collecting of items felt too heavy a chore. For a game about self-worth the item collecting made me feel like such a failure I had to shelve the game for my own wellness which really upsets me. I failed my character but the game was still beautiful and intriguing.
The boss fights can be difficult because you have to be fast and coordinated moving the character and brush around or I would recommend this for kids. I helped my kids fight the 1st boss and it was really easy.
If you are starting out new my two hints are to color at least a path you went so you know where you’ve been and either mark on tend map or keep a list of collectibles you couldn’t collect. There are characters that give hints but i still couldn’t complete them. There are guides that give you checklists I saw too late in my gameplay to use.
