It's fine. The first game was a unique casual adventure game, combining a simple ecosystem simulation with a very well designed FPS/3D platformer/collectathon-y formula. This game has good intentions to deepen the sunny vibes of the original game, but the adventure component just isn't present at the moment.

Love the new visual style, some of the new slimes are good ideas. The new map is probably the biggest shortcoming, it just doesn't flow as a cohesive whole like the old one did. Additionally, it's just still very early access. It will probably take a while before it hits 1.0, and then a few *more* years before it might really feel like its own game.

Don't even think about buying this until you've mastered the first game, and then, maybe just pick this up as a show of good faith. I'm giving it a temporary negative but I'm looking forward to watching it grow, and you should too.
