Tiny birds are having a moment, aren't they? There's the Spiritfarer tiny owl update, and Haven Park's tiny bird, Flint, and last year's A Short Hike... and now, Kokopa's Atlas, a game about exploring, farming, and building a life as Kokopa, a cat-person-astronaut-explorer, and Pollimero, a TINY BIRD who wears glasses. It's a little bit Pikmin, a little bit Animal Crossing, with a sprinkling of Cozy Grove and Littlewood.
The Kickstarter just went live, and the game is already confirmed for Switch, with Xbox and PlayStation releases as stretch goals.
The game will include all your favourite activities, like terraforming, farming, exploring, and talking to a tiny bird. Check out some of the screenshots to get a feel for it:
So, what do you think? Will you be backing the game, or waiting for release? Let us know in the comments!

This looks like one for fans of the genre. The trailer didn't grab me at all. Sorry.
It looks bland from the trailer alone. Eveyone is trying to copy Animal Crossing. If there are interesting gameplay mechanics and/or setting, i would appreciate it more. And those cute characters don't convince me.
@GrailUK Off-topic but love the aesthetic of your new profile pic!
First Kickstarter I have seen where Switch is first before all the other consoles.
Not my cup of tea for a game, but looks cute
Updated Kitara quest is what it looks like this is what Kitara should've been.....
@Bunkerneath it's getting more popular with certain genres of game, I think!
@StefanN Thanks! I am addicted to Cooking with AiAi. Send help! (Honestly, I'm all in for the new art style now hee hee besides, I have had that old pic since joining the site!)
Graphically, it looks really lovely. But wow, talk about an oversaturated genre. It's getting harder for a farming/crafting/terraforming game to stand out these days.
@CharlieGirl (from my pile of farming game reviews) yes
Looks great! This one is one my radar for sure.
@CharlieGirl same here hopefully this doesn't have a return backburn otherwise this will kill these types of games to come.
@elias84631 For one thing ACNH was boing by the months in the year while the game doesn't focus on that. This is what burned me out trying to keep up with ACNH. If not for that I would try to keep up. I might go back but another day for that to come. If they focused on the time you play would advance the seasons that wouldn't be so hard but when gamers have backlogs that doesn't help.
