Don't Hurt Sharks.
Thanks for the review!
I played Summer in Mara, myself last year and loved it! This follow-up seems like a huge departure from what that game was, however. And while I'm not saying that devs of franchises should stick to the same formula for each game (because that gets old fast), this style of game just doesn't work with me as well as Summer in Mara's did.
If any of you reading this like a cozy game with a bit of adventure in it, definitely check out Summer in Mara.
Looks super cute and the music used for the backing track here sounds really great!
Seems like a Crash spiritual successor
I don't see the point of spending 20.00 extra for a physical release. That's a bit nuts. For a five hour game, at that. Summer In Mara had so much more game time…
Looks like it'd be fun, and it's great to hear another review from Amy.
Thank you for the review!
This looks real fun!
Gives me both Crash Bandicoot vibes and Astro's Playroom vibes. Not a bad thing at all.
Amy this is a fantastic review, I love the way you are able to identify very specifically the issues you had and what might have fixed them beyond a general feel. This was one of my favourite 3 min reviews and I hope you do more of them!
This looks like a great relaxing game, i could get it.
That last line was so much louder than the first that it actually startled me.
Looks alright, but the fiddly platforming kills my interest
Someday when I have nothing to play I wish i could remember both Mara games so I can play them ^_^ Looks entertaining to play! Good Review!
Coach co-op would have been perfect here!! Doing a run with my son would have been fun!! Looks good nonetheless
The devs (Talpa Games) of Mail Mole really shows through here as it reminds me a fair bit of that game. Yet now it has a Summer in Mara skin.
Nice
Looks pretty fun.
So it goes Sonic Unleashed's Eggmanland on you…
Good review, thank you for this
This looks adorable! I wanna play this so bad.
