Mini Review Toree's Panic Pack (Switch) - A Third Pop Of 99¢ Platforming Pleasure
The only moral Toree
Toree's Panic Pack costs 89p. 99¢. That’ll probably either perk up your ears, or make your face twist in reasonable scepticism. Luckily, as with all the previous Toree games, it’s absolutely worthy of the former and certainly not the latter. Previous games in the series of short and colourful 3D platformers have had a...
Review Corn Kidz 64 (Switch) - A 64-Bit Throwback That Nails The Retro Vibe
Truly goated
Though the peak years of the 3D platformer genre were in the late '90s and early 2000s, there’s been a bit of a resurgence in interesting new genre entries in recent years. Titles such as Glyph and Lunistice have shown that smaller platforming projects can be just as compelling as the more well-known examples, and now we have...
Mini Review Super Kiwi 64 (Switch) - An N64-Style Platformer Ripe With Tricksy Energy
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Right first time—it was a bird
Super Kiwi 64 feels like it’s up to something. There's a tricksy energy about it that’s impossible to ignore. Players of Siactro’s earlier games might be expecting that, but this isn’t just more of the same. Super Kiwi 64 is weird in its own special way, presenting a fresh guided...
A chaser
The weight of expectation can be a terrible thing for a game. When you expect nothing, every moment has the potential to offer a surprise and an unanticipated feeling of discovery, and the original Toree 3D benefited from absolute zero expectations when it launched back in April. Releasing out of nowhere for a bargain basement price,...
Mini Review Toree 3D (Switch) - Low Poly, Pint-Sized Platforming For Pennies
Nostalgic 3D platforming? Balan Wonderworld, take note
Say what you like about fancy level design and clever mechanics that turn everything you know about the genre on its head, but when it comes to 3D platformers there's really only one reason we return to our favourites again and again: throwing Mario around a course feels fun on an instinctual,...
Mini Review Macbat 64 (Switch) - A Pitifully Weak Clone Of Those N64 Platformers You Know And Love
An utterly mediocre journey
Nostalgia is a powerful motivator in gaming. Providing a sense of comfort and familiarity, developers often target this feeling through sequels and remakes, but in the last decade, we’ve seen a greater rise in spiritual successors and that’s been particularly prominent for early 3D platformers, Yooka-Laylee and A Hat...

News Toree 2, The Delightful Low-Poly Platformer, Gets New Levels In A Free Holiday Update
"Three new, experimental and winter themed levels" coming soon
Earlier in the year, Toree 3D was an utterly unexpected gem on Switch that we discovered by chance. A low-poly platformer with a PS1/Sega Saturn visual style, its breeziness and super-budget price were a breath of fresh air, with cheep (heh) and cheerful — but incredibly satisfying —...

News You're Not Dreaming, This N64-Style Platformer Really Is Coming To Wii U
"Stands in the tradition of the classics from the late 90s"
If you're an indie developer, the Switch has to be one of your target platforms these days. The console's popularity – combined with a vibrant digital storefront – has triggered a flood of indie classics. However, it's becoming increasingly hard to stand out on the crowded eShop, so...
