Castle on the Coast

A super cute gem that is perfect for teaching the nephews and nieces how to game. Filled to the brim with cute little touches and areas to explore. Music is lovely and the characters are delightful. A++ Kids game, super fun and doesn't try to sell them things just focusses on a great experience. Highly recommended.

Holy shit this is a fun game. Also great for children. Don't let the graphics fool you, don't let the idea that this was made for kids fool you, this is a fantastic game!! The graphic may look questionable in pictures but the game has a real charm to it once you start playing, the voice acting is also so much fun. The way the game does movement and how it does not penalize you for it yet still has a layer of challenge to it really makes it stand out from other games, you have to experience it because its just so much fun. Levels feel great to explore. This is a game that does not bother the player with any bullshit. I bet its also a great game for your younger children, get it for them.

This game controls like a charm, which is essential with 3d platformers. The physics are floaty, sometimes even slightly janky but the game is made with that in mind and isn't too hard to begin with so the quirks, rather than being an annoyance, end up opening the way to new fun modes of traversal by abusing the engine in clever ways. The game is both forgiving to less skilled players while offering a decent challenge in terms of speedrunning. The cute and colorful graphics are very reminiscent of A Hat in Time but the game has its own visual identity that ste sit apart from its counterparts. The music is also really good, I hope the soundtrack will be released one day. The sound design is endearing as well, for instance the drums when George rolls are an excellent way to convey what's hapenning on screen in a funny way. It reminded me of Ape Out a little. The level design is much better than I thought before booting the game: each level is fun to explore and the McGuffins manage to be reasonably easy to find without exploration becoming dull. There is an option to disable invisible walls, which doesn't break the game too much, a testament to the cohesiveness of this small world which can be explored like a small open-world instead of disconnected levels. The story is good enough and the full voice acting is an appreciated effort. All in all, I had more fun that I expected, probably the most fun I've had with a 3d platformer since A Hat in Time and Mario Odyssey. Also, I would die for George.

Castle on the Coast doesn't seem to have made a big splash since release. Which is a shame and makes a sequel less likely... Please let us turn this around, and purchase this amazing game! The game instantly captivates which motivating level design, great platforming and wholesome atmosphere. Every section mixes up the platforming in some way so not a second of the games becomes stale. Also super colorful. And one can play this game on higher graphic settings even on really low end PCs/laptops. The best game I've played since quite some time!
