  • Charming and cute characters with expressive animations and witty, humorous writing that keeps players engaged and entertained.
  • Unique and appealing art style blending Paper Mario-like 2D sprites in a 3D world with high-quality Live2D visual novel-style cutscenes.
  • Fun and relaxed platforming gameplay with a shapeshifting ability mechanic that adds variety and encourages exploration, complemented by enjoyable level design and collectibles.
  • Lack of save points and auto-save within levels; progress is lost if the player quits mid-level, causing frustration especially when replaying for collectibles or no-death medals.
  • Inability to skip in-level dialogue and cutscenes makes replaying levels tedious and repetitive, especially during medal runs and retries.
  • Movement speed can feel slow and controls can be slightly wonky; camera issues and occasional depth perception problems add some difficulty to platforming sections.

    The gameplay is generally praised for its charming art style, simple and easy-to-learn mechanics, and engaging morphing ability that adds a fresh twist to platforming and puzzles. While the game offers fun exploration and collectathon elements reminiscent of Paper Mario and Super Mario Odyssey, some find the enemy variety limited and the pacing slow, with frequent interruptions and an occasionally frustrating camera. Overall, it provides enjoyable, straightforward platforming with a sweet story, though some desire better level design and the option to skip repetitive dialogue during replays.

    • “A charming 3D/2.5D platformer with fun, self-aware writing, adorable character design, and an interesting shape-shifting mechanic.”
    • “The game has a very fun morphing mechanic where you can copy abilities of any allies and enemies you find, which can be used for both combat and exploration.”
    • “The gameplay feels like what would happen if Super Mario Odyssey and Super Paper Mario had a child; levels are pretty fun to run through for the most part.”
    • “My biggest annoyance with the gameplay is the camera.”
    • “Constant gameplay interruptions by characters to show you what to do and where to/where not to go.”
    • “The gameplay is my biggest gripe with the game, unfortunately, it feels slow and sluggish, something you don't want on a platformer, and the same goes for most of the puzzles I've encountered, which varies from a bit of exploration outside of a very linear path and changing form to break a transformation-specific block.”

  • story

    41% positive mentions, 48% neutral mentions, 11% negative mentions

    The story is lighthearted, charming, and humorously simple, centered on three adorable slime girls trying to reunite after a crash landing. While not complex or deeply developed, the engaging characters, witty dialogue, and playful tone make the narrative enjoyable and a highlight of the game. Some players note minor pacing issues with repeated text, but overall it complements the cute art style and fun gameplay well.

    • “This game had an enjoyable story that was well written with awesome characters and jokes.”
    • “You follow the story of three slime girls (Ayalls) who go by Ember, Penny, and Lite as they embark on an expedition to Earth before Ember falls asleep while piloting their spaceship and subsequently crash lands on Earth, separating the trio and forcing them to gather the remaining parts of their ship and reunite in order to return to their mothership orbiting the solar system.”
    • “The story and dialogue is humorous and blends with the overall style of the game.”
    • “The story is a little bit all over the place, but it's still fun regardless.”
    • “It's pretty straightforward so far with not a ton happening to advance the story, in my opinion.”
    • “The plot is laughably simple, but does its job in engaging the player with the story to see the trio eventually reunite.”

    The game features a charming and distinctive paper-like art style reminiscent of the Paper Mario series, blending 2D character sprites within 3D environments that many reviewers found visually appealing and well-executed. The cutscenes showcase more detailed, anime-inspired visuals that complement the gameplay's quirky and cute aesthetic. While generally praised for its smooth, colorful graphics and strong presentation, a few users noted minor graphical issues on high-refresh-rate monitors.

    • “The visuals in gameplay are based on that of Paper Mario, with 2D sprites that look like paper cutouts giving the world life, while cutscenes feature more detailed anime style characters, like a visual novel.”
    • “Completed it, it controls well, the music is nice, I love the artstyle because it's very Paper Mario-like, with good animations.”
    • “The paper artstyle stuck out to me the most, but there were other impressive elements that surprised me like the live2D during the story scenes.”
    • “Most of the time, platforming was good, but sometimes I felt it was a bit iffy due to the paper art style, not anything approaching bad however.”
    • “I experienced some graphical artifacts on my high refresh rate monitor (165hz) on some chapters, especially the final chapter, but I didn't see any when playing on my big-screen TV (60hz).”
    • “- The art style in general.”
    • “- Controls, aesthetics, jokes, everything fits together well like a glove.”

    The humor in the game is widely praised for its charming, quirky, and self-aware style, featuring witty dialogue, fourth-wall breaks, and playful references. Players appreciate the funny, lovable characters and the lighthearted, whimsical tone that blends well with the overall art style. While not groundbreaking, the game delivers consistent laughs and a relaxing, enjoyable experience.

    • “The main selling point for me are the characters and humor in this game; I can't remember the last time I laughed that much because every dialogue is a pleasure to read and I just love how self-aware the game is most of the time!”
    • “Presentation-wise, the characters are chock-full of personality and witty, funny fourth-wall breaking humor.”
    • “Besides some silly references and 4th wall breaks, it really gives the vibe of Paper Mario dialogues mixed with early 2000s visual novel moe humor, making it feel both cute and funny at the same time!”

    The music in the game is generally well-suited to its atmosphere, providing a fitting and enjoyable backdrop without being particularly memorable or standout. While not spectacular, the soundtrack includes some catchy tunes that complement the gameplay experience.

    • “Completed it, it controls well, the music is nice, I love the artstyle because it's very Paper Mario-like, good animations.”

    25% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 75% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is considered tedious by some players, especially when replaying levels to achieve 100% completion or collect missed medals due to nonskippable dialogue and simple, repetitive gameplay. However, the easy-to-learn mechanics and controls somewhat mitigate the overall grind difficulty.

    • “Based on my last two complaints, I would find it too tedious to play through the levels again to try to 100% the game in its current form.”
    • “Along with having to read/watch all the nonskippable dialogue when medal hunting, it's a bit tedious.”
    • “If you're going back to replay some levels to get medals you might have missed (especially no death medals), this can make your runs more tedious.”
