They usually just kind of hang out and do their own thing but they like Milo and start following him around almost as soon as the game starts. After all, you have mysteries to solve and a spaceship to repair.Īlong for the ride are the Tinykin, which are little creatures that all possess unique abilities that can help you on your journey. The bugs of Tinykin have problems you’ll assist with and in return they’ll provide you with upgrades to your abilities, optional items for the game’s extras, and items needed for story progression.

Destiny 2 and Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 always came to mind before and now Tinykin will for me, too.Įach room in Tinykin has different bugs (not the Tinykin, we’ll get to them in a second) that need your help. Some games get this and some games don’t but there’s just nothing more cool and video game-y than games where it’s a blast to move around. In short, you’re tiny, so environments are massive, even though they’re just cute rooms in a house, (with lots of love and detail) and no matter how you choose to move around in Tinykin, it’s fun. The bubble is activated by hitting the Jump button again and is a joy to use, especially after completing optional upgrades, which give you the ability to bubble-time it across longer distances with the aid of extra bubbles. It reminded me of gliding in the original Spyro the Dragon, especially in how it was used for vertical exploration and progression. Milo also has a nifty bubble ability, which can be used to hover in place for short distances. Milo has a cool, sudsy, soapbar skateboard, which can not only be used whenever for speed and style, but the game also features plenty of spaces designed around the tool. Thankfully you’ve got some pretty cool abilities in your arsenal for the mission ahead. Tinykin takes place in various rooms of a house but the player character, Milo, is small. We’re going light on details relating to characters and story because part of the wonder of Tinykin is exploring and uncovering the discoveries on your own but let’s talk about the location in general. Carpets, bubbles, water, door knobs, and everything in between are all ready for you to see them from every angle, which is what you’ll be doing as you explore the vertical heights and tiny but big journey of Tinykin.

Locations are in full 3D and possess rather detailed textures, especially by comparison. A big and little planetĮnvironments are the exact opposite. Paper Mario comes to mind but you can also see from the pretty pictures in this review. Each character is detailed but there’s a minimal nature to them too you could almost mistake them for icons, except that they’re also animated and move around. The characters of Tinykin have a sleek, smooth vibe and are done in a 2D style.
And if you get really tiny like a Tinykin and follow me, like I’m Milo, then I’ll explain how (or you can just keep reading).
The colorful and vibrant world of Tinykin is a constant sight to take in, which is something that always makes a game more special to me: a game I almost can’t focus on because of how unique it looks.Įxcept the part of what makes the graphics so pretty is that they’re also helpful and can highlight who you can talk to and where you can go. Tinykin begins with Milo rediscovering Earth, along with some intriguing mysteries that are waiting to be uncovered, like why there are only talking bugs and no humans? Or why is it the ‘90s? It’s not often that a developer is able to put together something that feels like it could have come straight out of Nintendo. But developer Splash Team has managed to craft something truly special in Tinykin.
I have so many special first memories with Nintendo because well, they’re Nintendo. I’m really glad my first ‘small-time-lots-of-guys’ game was Tinykin though. But if Pikmin is like Tinykin, I really want to play it. My review of Tinykin would be pretty boring if I just made comparisons to Pikmin, which I won’t do for a lot of reasons but this being my first time with a game like Nintendo’s little-guy-puzzle game is probably the biggest.
