Dec. 2025

Got this in a bundle from one of their other games I wanted to buy, but this was a fun 7hr to 100% platforming/collectathon game for sure. Runs great on Proton and didn't face any technical issues at all. The negative reviews about simplicity, meh, a few levels took several retries to get gold time-wise, it's never boring though.

I really enjoyed this game, was surprisingly challenging! Getting 100% was fun and easy with practice :)! The only thing I regret is buying the rest of the dev's games because Ive had issues with some of them and the devs were just hostile and rude when I asked for help with it and basically told me that they don't work on the game anymore so if you have issues thats tough luck basically lol which I found pretty gross. Ive read another review on one of their games that they had similar replies from the devs so be careful when buying their games!! I wont be buying any newer ones in the future from them. Thumbs up cause the game is fun. Thumbs down cause the devs are rude.

If I had to limit what I think of this game to one sentence, I would say that it has really, really good level design. Just beating a level is going to be pretty easy most of the time. But beating a level fast is where the fun comes in. Movement is simple: skip, run, jump, roll, and long jump. The secret to going fast is to chain rolls and long jumps together. And the levels felt perfectly designed for going fast. Almost always, platforms were spaced so that I could choose to either use normal jumps or long jumps to progress, and not be forced to do one or the other. If I was brave, I could long jump over pits or onto the scenery for shortcuts. Every moving platform and trap felt perfectly timed so that, if you go fast, you never have to stop and wait. And chaining long jumps to accomplish this felt really fun. Sometimes I would just zip around town, not even challenging a level, just because I was having fun spamming long jumps all over the place. The overall mood is very cheerful in a sort of "wholesome cartoon" kind of way. This mood and Koa's constant happy shouts during gameplay are infectious, and will probably do a great job cheering you up. There are collectibles that will unlock new shirts, backpacks, ship upgrades, and town repairs, so that's an incentive to explore levels and take on additional challenges. Also, I was impressed to see that changing shirts not only affects the 3D character model, but also her 2D artwork. I don't play many 3D platformers, but this became one of my favorites.

March 2025

I'll be honest, I had a rough first impression with this game. The tutorial is its lowest point because it's so writing-forward and the writing is by far the worst part of the game. There's also a lack of UI polish and some awkward shop/NPC interaction transitions (or lack thereof) that make the game feel a bit amateur. BUT This is a speedrunning focused platformer that respects your time and has tight, enjoyable mechanics. It's also very generous - the amount of times I should have died and very generous coyote times, small player hitboxes, etc saved me felt great. The levels are almost all great (there are two stinkers, but they're a drop in the bucket). The art is also charming and the 3D character is well animated and responsive. Really deserves more attention than it got. I had a blast. And only encountered one bug in the entire playthrough, so it's technically super solid.

March 2025

Koa and the Five Pirates of Mara Time-trial obstacle courses set in the same universe as Summer in Mara. I enjoy that Chibig delivers cozy, feel-good experiences with meaningful messages about caring for the world, and I appreciate that. So, this gets a thumbs up! That said, the checkpoint system felt frustrating, sending me back to replay sections that tested my patience. The driving of the boat, lol. Great art and storytelling. I look forward to more games ahead!
