This game gets too little recognition for how good it is. I consider myself rather picky when it comes to platformers. I love the genre but there's a lot in there that i don't like. This game is based on a cartoon show that i used to watch as a kid - i think it might have gotten rebooted as a 3d animated cartoon at some point, that being where the designs in this game stem from.

So yeah, a game based on a license. We all know how those go, don't we? Well, apparently we don't. This game is perfect. There is literally nothing i can complain about, except for the walljump feeling a little finnicky. This is, in every regard, how a platformer should feel. Responsive, creative and just plain fun. The graphics are wonderful, the soundtrack is an absolute banger, the sound design is super satisfying, the gameplay is fluid and has a great sense of flow to it, the controls are immaculate and the challenge ramps up quite nicely, with added difficulty if you wanna go for all the collectibles and maybe even the time trial challenges (man, they didn't call them "challenges" for nothing).

I think this is now one of my favorite platformers i've ever played. It is constant fun, i can't get enough of it and the overall atmosphere just has such a feel-good, happy atmosphere to it (which, again, don't let that fool you in terms of potential difficulty when trying to 100% it). I highly recommend this to anyone!

Oh and side-note: People say this game is similar to "Donkey Kong Country" in terms of mechanics. While, yes it is, i didn't really like DKC. I also didn't enjoy Yooka-Laylee's second game or "Kaze & The Wild Masks" all that much. They're apparently just not really my preferred style of gameplay. But even being DKC-like, i love this game, so so much and it feels right in every way that those other games didn't to me. So even if you (i know this is probably a niche worry that one could have) didn't like any of those games, give this one a try!

Hooba!
