Wattam is a short, simple, cute, weird but somehow completely wholesome experience that I can't describe even if I wanted to.

Keita Takahashi yet again throwing concepts into a game that were formed using a word soup and somehow making something so, and for a lack of a better word, wholesome.

Wattam is a simple 'puzzle' game, in which you have to "recreate" the world which has been broken by "recalling" the characters (which, by the way, are mostly inanimate objects, shapes, numbers, poop, etc.) that make it up.

Now while this is a very charming game, sometimes the controls would absolutely mess with me. Most of the game is about holding hands with other characters, to either 'circle dance' (which was an a b s o l u t e pain might I add) or to take them somewhere and 9 times out of 10 either you or the other character would end up messed up from the stretching of the arms.

Apart from that little issue, the game was clearly made for kids so any difficulty or length issues I have with the game matter not. It was a fun time and I'd happily play another entry.
