April 2025
Played this in elementary school as part of the school curricular. I remember it being challenging to understand at the time, back in the early 2000s. The lack of (easily accessible) tutorials for each puzzle makes children think they just have to figure it out. There IS a tutorial available for each puzzle but its in a separate UI menu in the corner which may not be noticed. As an adult, I play this for mind numbing puzzles and that good ol' nostalgia hit. The puzzles are easier for my fully grown brain, which makes me feel accomplished, but honestly, some of them still trip me up a little. Additionally, lets REVIVE ZOOMBINI LOVE!!!! WHERE ARE THE STEAM ACHIEVEMENTS!?! This game would be perfect for achievements. I do love the points shop items (: SIDE NOTE: they sell Zoombini plushies :O

I remember playing Zoombinis in elementary school during computer class. It was the one game that made learning feel like an adventure. I would get genuinely excited when it was my turn. The puzzles were challenging in the best way, and I felt proud every time I figured one out. What stuck with me the most was the pizza making level. I used to daydream about what the perfect pizza would be, even outside of school. It felt like the most important mission in the world back then. Coming back to it now, it still has that same magic. The puzzles are just as clever, and the personality of the game is exactly how I remember it. It makes me feel like a kid again in the best possible way. Zoombinis will always have a special place in my heart.

The visual update to the game is great and I love that the audio is the same. And, also, it's super reassuring to know that I actually *wasn't* a moron as a child- the game truly does get really really hard after a point. I'm a grown woman and I still can't get through some late-game puzzles without losing some of my guys.

A nostalgic dream. This is a polished up remake of the original 1996 Zoombinis game, and there are some small stylistic differences, but on the whole the game is the same, with the same music, sounds, voice acting and details. If you're after an adventure into your memories, you won't be disappointed! The game itself is wonderful. Gently paced, and not over-stimulating, while still being compelling, addictive and satisfying to play. I adore the minimal movement and careful sound design in each scene; it's immersive yet calming. The premise is very simple, and the logic-based games present an enjoyable challenge. The stakes are as high as your emotional investment: if you allow yourself to get into the spirit of things, you will become very dedicated to aiding as many Zoombinis as possible through the perilous land to freedom. If you just want to enjoy the logic puzzles you can. There is always a risk of losing Zoombinis in a challenge, but they find their way safely back to either a campsite (with hot soup, all ready to eat...) or to the port where their journey began. An enchanting, whimsical and magical game, perfect for relaxation, comfort gaming and mental stimulation. Thoroughly recommended.
