This little SNES platformer did everything to make me smile and enjoy the gameplay but it failed to hold my attention at every point.

Firstly, the game tries very hard to NOT be a simple platformer. The levels are varied and you have different tribe members to aid you, each having a gimmick like one is an inventor, the other is a hunter etcetc. They do very little with this concept and it feels really gimmicky. The overall objective for the game is to collect food for your tribe to survive winter and the game even show you how much you collected during a level, even judging you if you lack a certain amount. Despite this, you can pretty much move forward without ever having to worry about this side of the game, so I do not understand the need of it at all.

Secondly, the platformer side of the game is just bad. The movement, the small but very noticable sudden stop after jumping, the clunky combat and the gimmicky things make this one a very unenjoyable game that tries too hard to be unique.

I did not enjoy any of the above mentioned things but I found the graphics to be quite nice actually, it looks really cute and some aspects of it reminded me of many different games, namely Adventure Island and Donkey Kong Country.
