Tinykin kombiniert Pikmin und Paper Mario für entzückende Plattformspiele in Ameisengröße in diesem Sommer

Bei der Media Indie Exchange Vitrine, we got a brand-new look at the upcoming indie platformer Tinykin. Mixing 3D environments with paper-thin (literally) character models and collecting and throwing small creatures that have overtaken your former home planet? Sounds like a few little Nintendo titles might’ve had a hand in inspiring Splashteam’s game. It’ll be right at home on the Switch, dann!

Tinykin wears its heart its tiny sleeves, bei Ein Blick auf das PS4-Gameplay von Horizon Forbidden West – PlayStation.Blog-like visuals, und Pikmin-like pet throwing. The game sees Milo, a young boy from another planet, land on Earth. There, he has to team up with some tiny creatures called ‘tinykin’ to create paths and explore planet Earth. Ja, “our Earth”, except Milo is tiny, and the planet has been stuck in the ’90s for over 200 Jahre! So we can expect giant Tamagotchi and Game Boys everywhere then, yeah?

There are different colours of tinykin, and each colour specialises in something different. Beispielsweise, pink tinykin are the strongest – shh, don’t tell the Purple Pikmin – so they’re able to push or carry large objects.

Here’s what you can expect to find when you start exploring Earth as a miniature person::

– Explore cities of ants, beetles and other insects built inside of a giant house
– Meet characters everywhere you go and learn their stories and history
– Catch over a hundred tinykin in each city, and use their special abilities to climb higher, break down doors and solve the city’s problems!
– Skateboard around on Milo’s tiny soap-board! Springe, grind and hover around the house
– Collect upgrades to improve Milo’s bubble-pack, build out the Ardwin Museum and complete Ridmi’s mysterious machine!”

There’s currently a demo available to download on Steam, so if you can’t wait for Pikmin 4, then this should scratch that itch.

You won’t have to wait too long, as Tinykin is coming to Switch this summer. Why not check out the game’s offizielle Seite for even more details, or marvel at how weirdly cute those little alien creatures are below:
