3D platformers appear quite often, and the main point of the experiment is always the same: clear levels, tons of collectibles, simple puzzles. Sometimes they add something to this combat system – which becomes the weakest element a few times. But the biggest problem that many developers don’t face is the layout of the locations. It should encourage the player to clear every corner simply because it’s fun to do, not to unlock skills or improve the story. Tinykin’s authors were successful.

#And my kids are very small.

The plot here does not even fade into the background, but to the tenth plan. It is important for you to know that you control a scientist named Milo, who grew up with a mission to the world and trying to return home. Like Earthlings, Milo is short in stature, as are the creatures he met called taynikins and insects that live everywhere.

The charming video shows the latest kind of Taynikin.

This protagonist ends up in a seemingly abandoned house. Insects founded city-rich cities in various rooms. From Lego, they folded stands for performances, built towers from toilet paper, and occupied their jobs in the kitchen, agricultural action and crop division conflict. Since this is 1991, the TVs here are still gutted and listening to music from CDs.

I wanted to assemble the device that a man named Ardwin had left behind. The homeowner was probably the one who was really interested in a scientist, but the idea is that he had a greenhouse and a lab, while studying the environment, many interesting details about his past are a mystery.

Insects will come up with a city name not long ago.

To show the main character, the key is to meet the next room and find a device in that room. However, find it easy, but getting is always difficult. You have to negotiate with insects and then steal a key from them. The great thing about Tinykin, however, is that collecting parts in a good way is a good activity. When you take a side mission, collectibles and simple puzzles to the next location, you start to discover this one a bit long and wide.

First of all, it is important to collect taynikins, which hid in mud, but in cages or in mud. The simplest separation, very powerful and able to move things, is that the first thing to collect is to kill all the creatures, then throw them and you watch the process of. Rather, there are exploding taynikins, removing obstacles and destroying certain walls. There is a gaffe that stands on top of each other and allows you to climb the ladder, there are guiding taynikins that always expand the game possibilities, although the protagonist does not learn anything new.

As many secrets as you have collected, many will run after you.

The character can only move around the room with a soap board, which looks like a hoverboard, and after bouncing creates a bubble in his shoes. Occasionally the double jump won’t be more comfortable, but this chip can help you fly to the next platform even if it’s difficult. The bubble’s lifespan can be extended by collecting pollen scattered around every corner and paying them for a shop. Some plot points require you to have a pumped bubble; but if you carefully inspect everything in a row, it will be enough fortress.

And you want to study everything because the location of that place contributes to that. There is something to collect in every corner – whether it’s easy to reach at any time, or you’re looking for a temporary solution. At the heart of the world there are all kinds of nooks and crannies, walls and secret passages that are collapsing. As you climb high, you’ll find wire paths that allow you to quickly run from one corner of the map to the other with a soapboard. With several characters handing out side missions, which also include displays for the local museum, you complete missions for the fun of the game, not the reward. As every inch of a location is made wise, the pace is reached at the ideal time for a three-dimensional platformer.

There is no shortage of gear and the taynikins are ready to carry the necessary gear as much as they want.

And there’s also an admirable humor with lots of references (sometimes very unexpected) and just good jokes. Some of these are written by translators, others, although in Russian and English, don’t smile when you see a museum curator named R. Mitage or when a character uses the spoken word readme to learn the basics. After all, a lot of jokes were made about dung beetles and their uncleanness, then this is a game about insects.

The story went as far as I expected. Because of the huge gap between story and game, you might be wrong. At the end of the game, I didn’t even find any heroes offering side missions, but I was just exploring locations and randomly stumbled upon treasures. When you run and collect everything, it is more important than the constant interruption of the conversation about all the bugs.

Oh, these beetles keep out the trash. They are constantly polluting something, they all say.

There are also questions about the duration. The game doesn’t take too long and only uses six levels, specifically one hour. Add a few hours to this and you will be able to find all the money he needs and even get all the money he needs. The game is fascinating; after the credits you want more, it’s a shame to finish everything in one or two or two runs. In contrast, the inseats, the library and the living room, divided into two parts, were unique and very atmospheric. With an unusual visual style featuring 2D characters in a 3D world, Tinykin separates from the rest of the genre.

*******

The lack of plot and impermanence caused Tinykin’s inevitable death, but that’s what to expect at this time of day. Mechanics are well designed, and the concept of small bucket lots of space above the house. And if it’s interesting, and the way it looks, the collection looks excited. There are some exciting ideas and a good mood has far more advantages than disadvantages. You can also download it through Game Pass.
