When you press any of the six, yes that’s right, SIX, interaction buttons, instead of jumping, you pull out a ladder that can only be climbed at specific interaction points. The other downside? Not all of the costumes have the ability to jump! So take for example a costume that turns you into a firefighter. The downside? You can only hold three at a time. These range from being able to slam the ground, to floating in the air, to firing cannons from your body. In each area of the game you’re in, you find yourself needing to acquire costumes that have special powers in order to progress through the level. When it comes to the gameplay, this is where it becomes a bit questionable with the design choices. But I’ll be honest, I have no idea because I didn’t bother to start up a new file to see because the game only registers one save file at a time, so I would’ve lost all my progress just to see, unless I made a random account on my PlayStation to check. Even some of the cutscenes play like a slideshow.Ĭonsidering at the start of the game you get to choose who your character is, a boy or a girl, I believe they each sort of have their own “story” as to how they stumble upon Balan, thus having their own special conclusion. Are those stories ever super deep? No not at all, only because there’s no dialogue in the game apart from the opening cinematic. From the lady who felt powerless to stop a forest from getting destroyed to make way for homes, to a lady who couldn’t quite paint that perfect picture, so she got depressed, it all somehow tells a story. Though the story is kind of lacking in the game, each new world of the game sort of tells a bit of a story when you finish them. But what if you found someone to help you conquer those fears, plus help others recover from the spiral they fell into? Well now you can thanks to a weird mysterious person known as Balan! They whisk you off to a weird world, fraught with silly costumes and beautiful areas, all to help others.
