Super cute game with an adorable cast of characters. Gameplay reminds me of Tomb Raider but without the guns. Really got drawn into the characters and story. I especially loved the rope swinging puzzles. Fluid controls and ran really well on my PC ( intel 7700K w/ GTX 1070 )

Had a great time playing it so far, soundtrack is top notch. Reminded of old-school games with the deceptively simple combat mechanics, silent protagonist, easter eggs, and rewarding exploration. Surprising amount of stuff hidden around the game and looking through achievements after first completion I still have a decent amount to find. Definitely tougher than I had assumed it would be based on the art style. I made the mistake of underestimating it and starting on the highest difficulty and it absolutely made me pay for it, but the experience was satisfyingly hard instead of unfair. Not perfectly polished and did run into a few issues but above par for buying a game on Day 1 let alone for an indie game.

This game is totally amazing, WHY? Because this guy made it just one person, just one. Look that animations, the environement feels like you like in a epic jungle. The everything is keeps you in the feeling in Austirialla. This is truly an amazing game for everyone who wants to be in a good story. The game characters are really funny! Yes, they are very different of each other and makes very fun. This is not a story for just Platy, it is a story of a realism, the passion and the game where you can kick some @$$.

If you have kids or a Child at heart you can't go wrong with this game!, its a solo indie dev project and my god its crazy the amount of work went in to this game. 🟢 Pros: The Art design will blow you away and you'll think your in Australia the story is great and well put together, will get you sucked in for hours, Characters are true to there nature and look like the actually Animals photo mode is a great tool so you can capture that prefect moment 🔴 Cons: a few bugs where you'll swing or talk to an npc and you'll be stuck in place and have to respawn combat seems easy even on normal, and might need a bit more of adjustment the arrows pointing you the right way is there for one mission but gone for the next, would love to see it all the time so i know where i am going, map is huge, over all great experience and i can see the dev put a lot of time and effect in to this game, well worth the buy you will get hours of fun out of this game! you can check out my pl...

So far so good! You can tell a lot of heart and soul went in to this game and it's very impressive that this was all done by a solo developer. Very cute characters, environment is warm and colourful. I am definitely looking forward to playing more of this to discover what else is left to discover. Oh and it's working nicely on my Steam Deck which is a bonus because it feels like a great game to play while relaxing on the couch.

This game is a fun experience that stands on its own with simple game-play and is suitable for everyone and just wants to be its own game. The game is beautiful as the ambience, background NPCs and environment have passion put into them. The game isn't perfect by any means but that okay no game is. This game was not just made by a keyboard, mouse and computer it was made with heart as well. Even the small details in the game really stood out. I really recommend you buy this game as its worth it and this is just the first game and its made by one man and the game standing on its own is great. I enjoyed this game and I hope you will to.

I'm not really good at writing reviews so i'll keep this short and simple. Animal designs are cute, Environments are very nice, Effects are pretty, Controls are good, Puzzles were fun. My only complaint is that i can't go back to other areas, even after beating the game i was disappointed that you can't revisit previous areas Overall, its a pretty damn good and cute Australian themed adventure platformer
