Castle on the Coast

It has uwu language and the giraffe is perpetually blepping, need I say more? Okay, sure, I'll say more: It's an incredibly silly game in the best way possible. It's full of charm and personality, the movement mechanics are satisfying and allow for some cool tricks, there are many fun ways to interact with things, all the characters are funny and unique, it could run well even on a potato while still looking gorgeous... I could go on, there's no end to all the good things I have to say about this game. It's a game that takes the 3D platforming genre very seriously but doesn't take [i]itself[/i] seriously at all, and that's the best recipe for a game like this you could ask for. I honestly feel guilty for getting it on a sale.

I loved every minute of the 5.2 minutes I played this game. You can definitely see DNA of so many various games here: Crash, Spyro, Super Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie. The platforming is so great, the verticality and climbing is smooth and consistent. The story is fun, even if it is predictable. If Big Heart Productions were to ever make a sequel, I would buy it day one in a heartbeat! IF you are a fan of platformers or a fan of any of the games that it borrows DNA from listed above, BUY AND PLAY THIS GAME!

This has to be the silliest game I randomly found. Love the platform mechanics and how unserious this game is. Heavily recommended if you want something not serious but fun!

this was a fun 3 and a half hour game if you want a good platformer this is one of them.

Developed by Big Heart Productions and published by Klabater, Castle on the Coast is a charming 3D platforming adventure that successfully captures the carefree spirit of classic collectathon games while introducing its own personality through colorful visuals, fluid movement, and an uplifting story. Players step into the role of George the Giraffe, a friendly mascot who embarks on a journey across an enormous magical castle to repair a fractured friendship between two powerful wizards. While the premise is simple, the adventure focuses on themes of kindness, forgiveness, and cooperation, giving the game a heartfelt identity that extends beyond its cheerful presentation. Movement is undoubtedly the game's greatest accomplishment. George possesses an impressive collection of acrobatic abilities, including wall running, wall jumping, diving, rolling, spinning, and other parkour-inspired techniques that make simply traveling through the environment entertaining. Every section of the castle encourages experimentation, rewarding players who explore beyond the main path with hidden collectibles, secret routes, and optional challenges. Rather than presenting isolated stages, the game off…

Delightful platformer. Has strong roots in a Hat in Time. Lots of heart. Even if this game wasn't helping a children's hospital, it would still be completely worthwhile on its own legs.
