WHALIEN is a short adventure based around a focused core mechanic that takes you into a charming world full of little details.
Estimated playtime: 2-3 hours

A great little adventure/3D platformer and one of the best hidden gems of the year. PROS: Fun/unique theme - Clearing out cute creatures from inside the living mechanical whale feels fresh and fun. Clever physics gameplay mechanics - Some well design puzzles that take advantage of the push/pull gameplay and almost everything in the world has physics Art - The game has an outstanding art style and is well executed throughout. Level Design - Each room/area feels unique and presents a few different challenges. CONS: Game length - The game is beatable in about 1.5 hrs. Some good achievements and sticker collecting add some replay value. Price - $20 is a expensive for this short experience when compared to the current market value of games. Main character - The playable character should an attractive selling point for a game. This guy might be the opposite. Overall Whalien is a great little puzzle/platforming experience with fun mechanics and fantastic art. While it may be short for the price, the incredibly high quality adds a lot to the value of the experience. GG!

Good game, would whale again!
Recommended May 3, 2023
Whalien is a fun Playthrough. The Game consists of 20 continuous Levels and some of them are very short and straightforward but there are also several large and complex rooms that make up for it.
Recommended Apr 17, 2023
Very Cute, Short, and Easy little 3D Physics Platformer, with an adorable aesthetic, fun physics mechanics, funny dialogue, and diverse level design. I beat the Game in a about 2 hours, would have been sooner, but that final level is terrible, and really brought the entire experience down a little for me. However the rest of the Game was really chill, and enjoyable. Probably a bit too short for the price, but worth a play if you like Cute, Physics-based, 3D Platformers. Especially good for younger children, but I'm 20-something, and I still really enjoyed most of it.
Recommended Mar 6, 2023
A very good puzzle platformer. I just wish it was longer.
