Greetings everyone! I'll admit that this was not originally going to be our next upload, but after investing dozens of hours playing and a few hours recording our previous video, I ran into complications and had to scrap it, so there will be a few shorter videos while I troubleshoot how to fix it. In any event, this a very simple free-running collect-athon platformer and one of many titles on my Steam wishlist. I was gifted this title on my birthday and thought I'd put up a video of it.

Created by NiYOtan with music provided by Nicole Marie T, the story is that the moon has been broken into a bunch of shooting stars by... uhh... a wicked space mushroom. Aki, a celestial guardian of sorts, summons Mika, the self-proclaimed fastest rabbit girl around, to retrieve them to make it whole again. The game is divided into different zones that feature various challenges and obstacles (water that slows you down, mushrooms with different bouncy properties, the game's "antagonistic" dark cloud that pushes you around, etc.) and new zones are unlocked by collecting a certain amount of the game's stars. This game was developed with the Unity engine and has a few basic physics such as restricted movement in water and speed/momentum altering jumps. Mika can also "grind" certain slopes as if she's on an invisible skateboard which is needed to reach certain areas.

The game is intended to be casual and relaxing; there is no dying or time limit, and most levels can be cleared in a matter of seconds, but the game gets its longevity from finding all the stars and easter eggs hidden around levels. There are 100 stars on every level, though you can reach 100 stars by also collecting at least 90 and reaching the exit where you are rewarded "extra" stars. However, you won't get a check mark and all the game's achievements unless you collect the 100 normal stars on a stage. There are also hidden objects like carrots that net achievements as well, so the game encourages you to explore every nook and cranny of every level, and a few stages are a little clever with their hiding spots. The last element for speedrunners is a Time Attack, a rather challenging task that can be accessed if you've beaten a level at least once. The only real conflict is falling from too great a height, where you lose stars, but they can be collected again and take a long time to disappear.

This is a video of the game in action illustrating different aspects of the game. The game is currently on Steam for $12... while it has some content, I wouldn't pay that much for it personally. It does go on sale from time to time though, so keep a look out for it if you're interested, and avoid the cracked version going around... it has a virus. You can get this game at:

SMALL EDIT (07/21/2019 @ 2:58PM): I think I isolated the issue with my previous video capture and salvage it by altering contrast slightly, though it will darken the picture a bit... it oddly eliminates 90% of the noise, which might have been a bug with how it captured.
