Review of Tinykin, a simple and fun 3D platform game

Looking for a simple, fun platform game with a nice cartoon aesthetic? Then go no further because the game we are going to tell you might be just what you need. Let’s talk a little bit about his new title, Tinykin. jump kitPosted by TinyBuild (very convenient, let’s face it).

As Milo, a student of the future of a planet inhabited by humanity, we set out in search of Earth, the long-forgotten home planet of humans. But when we find it and reach it, we realize that we are tiny and trapped in a house full of smart insects. What’s happening? How do we get home after we lose our spaceship?

We will definitely not give answers to these questions (no spoilers!), but we will explain in detail how good the game is. Tinykin review.

Milo’s adventure Funnel will force him to explore various rooms of the house with the ultimate goal of building some kind of new spacecraft with temporary objects like a pair of scissors and a teapot from you.

However, he will not have to do everything alone, because little relative, the little creatures that give the game its name. These are little creatures, colored balls with unique abilities that for some reason respond to Milo’s commands.

The house is also a flourishing insect civilizationis divided into several rooms. The living room will feature ants that have created a musical religious cult, grasshoppers defending the terrarium, party bugs performing in the bathroom, and more. A cheerful and positive cartoon world where everyone is happy and worships Arwin, a kind of god.

There complo it’s simple and doesn’t go much further than “go there to find the next item”. However, the ending takes an almost dramatic turn with the sci-fi description of the game world, with no clue as to what Tinykin is hiding beneath its surface. We believe he takes the plot itself very seriously during closing bars, but it’s still a secondary element that can easily be overlooked.

Powers and platforms

First of all, Tiny is a game that does not waste time and allows you to play it immediately. Milo can jump, use a bar of soap to move fast, and use a strange air bubble to glide. As mentioned, it is alsolittle help, these are divided into five variants. There are reds that work like a bomb, pinks that lift and move, greens that create vertical scale, and more.

We meet these little creatures that must be collected by exploring from room to room. It is a center of discovery In Tinykin, which relies mainly on the collection of objects and collectibles, rather than purely complex platform sections.

Each room is a great setting, nice complex, roads, structures, passages, shortcuts to unlock and full of items to collect. Tinykin is very easy to complete with lots of areas where you can’t die (and with no penalty if he respawns on the final platform). The game allows us to run as fast as possible, collecting the nectar needed to increase the maximum glide time, collecting tiny relatives to use to move objects, knock down obstacles or activate interactive elements.

tinykin a light adventureIt puts a smile on your face once you’ve finished playing, thanks to the well-thought-out little bug world that lives in it. At the same time, there is a risk that an adventure without peaks will be too easy for many players. They wouldn’t ruin the secondary sections where the most experienced players would test their dexterity, but we understand that the goal is to create a game for everyone, even the little ones.

However, even going off of that assumption, Tinykin loses some bite in the final area, where it doesn’t introduce a new kind of minion and reiterates the various ideas presented in previous chapters. Never get tired or bored, remember, because at the same time a little short: We completed the story by collecting 80-90% of the secondary elements in five hours. In about seven hours you can do everything the game has to offer. This is the perfect length for the amount of ideas found in the game: an hour could have resulted in more repetitions.
