So this game only came out what feels like a few weeks ago (October 21st to be precise), has received some very good reviews (83 on Metacritic - including a 10/10 score from NintendoLife) and is already heavily reduced.
The one thing that hurts this deal from my perspective is the insanely large download size, considering its 16-bit styled graphics, of nearly 6GB.
If you have the space available, however, seems like an easy recommendation.
Hahaha brings back memories had this on the spectrum in the 80s.
Great game
Thanks, ordered. Surely a no brainer at this price?
Why not, huh. Thanks.
Thanks. Purchased!
Cover reminds me of a Lego mini fig hahaha
Never heard of this game before, but great reviews and looks right up my alley!
Quality post as always Ninternet!! Cheers!!
Lol, someone negged me for this? aha, I'm curious, what part of my post exactly?

Thought it was a Lego game from that thumbnail.
I bought it for my son. He said that ten minutes into the game his character was a robot and couldn't make an impossible jump. He got stuck and switched it off. I'm glad that it only cost $2.25.
Maybe you should have tried to help him rather than spread misinformation about the title.
I doubt a 15 hour game with very good reviews has a game-breaking bug in the first 10 minutes of play.
Hahahah kids always say that. I remember many moons ago I use to say it playing Mario all stars on my SNES
Nothing is impossible
must be impossible since his son couldn't pass what was probably the tutorial
I have no idea why I bothered but the prologue is here:

At the end of the day, the intelligence of the child is related to the parent…
Some fair points. I'll have a play of the game myself and then see if I can help him get through it.
I played it through to chapter two. There were some difficult jumps, but no impossible jumps. I think that my son gave up too easily.
It's a pretty funny game so far.
Dunno what it's like on Switch, but it's a delight on PC.
The story is Pixar-style cute-but-dark, and there are lots of visual gags and references that will pass kids by. Music is mostly chiptune classical, but there's a fair bit of original stuff. Gameplay is mainly platforming, with extra hearts if you die a lot, along with QTE minigames, some of which are unskippable.
I'm not entirely surprised a kid got stuck early, but I'd encourage them to try again.
I'll get him to play it again as I think that he gave up too easily.
I've played the game now and you are right, it is pretty cute.
Can you buy Nintendo eShop games to give as a gift? From what i can see, you need to create an account to buy and the game goes into that account.
No you can't, we've been asking since launch day1.
Nintendo's response is to "buy them a prepaid card instead".
This is a masterpiece with such low price!
There’s a lot of quality games on sale at the moment, worms is around $11, shift happens and a bunch of others around the $2 mark

Have you not linked to a console yet?
I don't own a console yet.
Just came to advise any parent thinking of getting this for a young kid, be aware that they do reference drug use (magic mushrooms and weed) and there's a scene where a naked man tries to jump off a roof coz he's high. I found the scenes pretty entertaining, but some parents might not be comfortable exposing a young child to them.
