In exchange for each part, you’ll be helping them out with their problems, all the while exploring the nooks and crannies of this giant world. The platforming is perfection, with super tight controls.Įvery room of the house has been taken over by a different bug civilization with each one possessing a component for your spaceship. You’ll be scrambling along the leaves of houseplants, crawling inside the mechanical innards of a VCR machine, jumping on the rotating blades of ceiling fans, and abseiling down the sides of cupboards ready to make the perfectly timed jump and find out what lies inside. It’s pretty cool how Splashteam have turned the most mundane objects in a cluttered house into climbable structures and walkways. Don’t get too trigger happy though, as certain tinykin like the red ones explode on impact, meaning they’re gone forever - so you'll want to keep an eye on how many critters are in your ranks.Ĭoming across an obstacle that you can’t get past might seem annoying at first, but in Tinykin it means more exploration and poking around. There are times where you'll come across an obstacle where you don’t have enough tinykin to complete the task - this could be a matchstick gate that needs burning away, a giant mug that needs moving, a way to cross a treacherous water-filled sink - so you’ll need to go find more to add to your army. You use your tiny squad to solve puzzles and navigate this incredibly big world, and using them is as easy as aiming and lobbing them at a task. You don’t even need to awkwardly switch between colours before you throw, as the game automatically chooses the right kind of tinykin for the task - which is a small but incredibly helpful tool. When a task needs doing, a wheel will pop up diaplying how many of your alien BFFs you'll need to complete it. When you complete a task they all cheer, and when finishing bigger missions they flop on the floor for a power nap, which is adorable. There are other kinds but I don't want to spoil too much, as half the fun is discovering new colours and seeing what they can do. The pink tinykins are incredibly buff, making them perfect for heavy-lifting, red tinykin explode on impact letting your clear obstacles, while green tinykin can stand on top of each other creating a ladder for Milo to climb. Each critter has a colour that aligns with a special ability that makes traversing the house a whole lot easier. There are hundreds of little eggs dotted around the house, and moving past them will cause the tinykin inside to hatch and start following you around, joining your growing alien army. The cute tinykin are extremely helpful, as it turns out. Playing as Milo, you need to get back home by collecting parts of a spaceship that are scattered around the different rooms of the house, and to do that you’ll need the help of some small, squishy alien creatures - the tinykin. However, a young scientist named Milo has excitedly re-discovered the great blue planet and, in a flurry of joy, teleports to his discovery only to realise that, yes, it is Earth, but he's now an inch tall stuck in a human-sized house. In Tinykin, Earth has been long abandoned and humans have since moved to another distant planet. Splashteam have made a fun, laid-back Pikmin-like bursting with humorous surprises and I played the game with a silly grin on my face the entire time. It’s a sci-fi adventure platformer where you and a tiny alien army explore a giant house and, as a bite-size summary, it’s excellent. Thankfully, Tinykin takes a more whimsical approach to this hellish situation.
I’m already emotionally scarred from the giant bug puppets in Honey, I Shrunk The Kids, and it’s the reason I won’t ever play Grounded (soz Obsidian). Think of all the dirt and clumps of dust you’d be grossed out by, and don't even get me started about being outside.
#CIVILIZATION II PRICE FULL#
A fun Pikmin-like with tight platforming, cute critters, and a cluttered house full of exploration potential.īeing shrunk down to the size of a thimble would be my absolute worst nightmare.
