Bottom line: a fun short, derivative, simple romp that feels slightly overpriced, but I'm still excited for the future of Snoozy Kazoo. Come on guys, this shouldn't be hard to fix). Unfortunately, I would probably recommend you get this on Steam as the performance dips when going between rooms and the button layout for the Switch version is *still* mapped to the Xbox controller instead of the Switch controllers (probably the most unforgiveable aspect of the Switch port. strum once g g a a intro bm go to bed, turnip boy bm a youve done well a g g a but us, weve gathered here to say farewell, till next time a bm so you can sing. I played it on the Nintendo Switch, because it seemed like it would be right at home in Nintendo's library and that it would be a casual game to play away from my desk. Unless money is tight, I still recommend picking this game up. ![]() A lot of games do backtracking poorly, but Turnip Boy does it in a way that is time efficient, and serves to make the different parts of the map more deeply ingrained into my memory, rather than feeling like a chore. They built a small little world that is compelling and draws intrigue. I can tell a lot of passion into this, and a lot of attention to detail is evident in how seamless it is to progress the plot. The high price tag is a lot easier to swallow for small, growing, indie studios than it would be for a bigger company. The main success of this game is getting me excited to see what is in store for Snoozy Kazoo. So much of what I'm supposed to find funny about this game is "you know that thing? well we know it too." I'm not a huge believer in length = price tag, as I feel it incentivizes developers to drag out a game, but $15 for a 4 hour game better be Firewatch caliber, and nothing of this game is to that standard. There's a random character that will just go into the navy seal copypasta completely unprovoked. There's a very out of place JoJo reference that amounts to nothing gameplay wise. While this game *can* be genuinely funny at points (for some reason it never gets old when someone hands Turnip boy an important piece of paper and he immediately rips it in half), a lot of the "attempts" at humor are lazy and overly dependent on references. ![]() The main praise I hear for this game is its comedic writing. Certainly not bad enough to keep me from 100% completing this game, but enough that I mostly felt on autopilot. The result of this is extremely surface level puzzling. The most compelling part of the gameplay is the portal gun, but the game being in a top down 2D perspective, its impact on the gameplay is minimal. The water can feature can feel a bit unnecessary, sometimes to the point of it seeming like an artificial game lengthener. The combat is super basic, never adopting any kind of range attacks, unless the bombs are explicitly laid out for you. The gameplay seemed like it would be reminiscent of the original Legend of Zelda games. The gameplay seemed like it would be reminiscent of the original Underwhelming variety, dialogue, and length when compared to the price tag. The only downside is that the game is rather short, and you'll end up hungry for more.Underwhelming variety, dialogue, and length when compared to the price tag. This isn't just a string of random jokes, and the world-building and story revelations are actually pretty engaging. The contrast of the colorful characters and white collar crime makes for a silly premise that the writing has a lot of fun with, and you may also end up surprised by how engaging the narrative actually becomes. It seems like it'd be pretty risky to lean hard into a meme joke and build a game around it, but the developers have done a great job of infusing humor into the game without feeling out of place or outdated. Even so, Turnip Boy's rebel streak can't be easily crushed, and you'll be ripping up tax documents again in no time. ![]() His life of crime as a tax evader has caught up with him though, and now Mayor Onion is making him work off his debt by completing a number of tasks around the vegetable patch community. ![]() You play as Turnip Boy, an adorable turnip who seems to be, in reality, a menace to society.
