NerdMovieProductions

Unique and eye-catching graphic style.
The idea of material exchange fits well with the environmental puzzles of the game.
A 3D platform inspired by 90s icons.

Confusing reading card.
Some slowdowns and uncertainties too many.
There is a lack of boss fights worthy of the name (and of this genre).

NextN

The "swap" mechanic is original and offers many possibilities to solve puzzles.
His artistic style is worthy of mention.

Although the Nintendo Switch 2 stabilizes it enough, the refresh rate varies on both consoles in certain situations.
There are some technical details with room for improvement.

Console Tribe

The mechanics of the SWAP is a great find...
The mix of visual styles works.
Always stimulating riddles

...less free than it might seem
Sonoro rivedibile translates to "revisable sound" in English.
Nothing in Italian

The swap mechanic is very cool
Tons of funny characters with many side missions
Collectathon galore

Not very polished camera or controls
Way too many formulaic, if not downright imitative parts

Xbox-Mag

Unconventional artistic direction
Original concept of "barter"
Easy but fun riddles
Good overall pace

World not very interesting to explore
Getting started is not always easy.
Boring 2D passage
Anecdotal sound component
A lot of tearing, waiting for a patch.

Pizza Fria

Creative and well-utilized exchange mechanics (SWAP/EXCHANGE).
Clean soul collection.
Good length (I thought it was going to be a short game!)
Variety of activities (collectibles, puzzles, 2D micro-levels).
Location in Brazil in Portuguese with humor.

Controls below the ideal.
Annoying sound editing.
Art can sometimes be incoherent.
Lack of motion controls on the Switch (the movement could be more precise).

A cheerful tribute to 90s puzzle platformers
Lots of content hidden around the game world
Well priced

Unappealing character design
The visual style is hit or miss
The swap feature can seem limiting in certain places

ZTGD

Beautiful hand drawn characters
Brings some fresh, new ideas to the genre
Charming collect-a-thon

Bosses and enemies are underwhelming
Pretty generic storyline

Nintendo-Town

La musique et le sound design sont réellement sympas
Le TROC est super agréable à utiliser
La prise en main de Ruffy est facile à comprendre
Plein de bonnes idées de mini-jeux amusants à faire
Les énigmes sont intéressantes à résoudre grâce au TROC
La possibilité de changer les graphismes du jeu avec le TROC et les pierres de rêves

L'histoire essaie d'apporter du lore, mais elle se gâche toute seule
Les bugs sont trop présents et réellement gênants
C'est un peu trop facile, surtout l'histoire principale
Le 100 % peut devenir impossible
Si vous ne visez pas le 100 %, la majorité des objectifs secondaires deviennent inutiles à faire
