I wish this was a recommend. Honestly it's not bad, and the puzzles are extremely well done, but it isn't "Gimmick!". You spend 20 minutes in the same forest going from one video-game-y platform puzzle screen to the next, solving tricky puzzles to find a bunch of ugly cosmetics.... that's not the heart of the original at all. The original, despite all of its technical limitations (and short length), managed to feel like a real adventure where you were exploring a bizarre dream-like world full of traps and strange creatures. Each room was a distinct place, and there were so many creatures that were entirely unique! The original game would do things like drop you into an area that was a tribute to a Hayao Miyazaki movie, just because the developers thought it would be a fun change of scenery for a moment. The original was a game where extra money went into having a better sound chip that allowed them to go ham with one of the best sounding soundtracks on the console, whereas this one sounds like the music was almost an afterthought, and the best songs I've heard so far were mediocre covers of songs from the original game.
So yes, it's well made, mechanically, but the soul of the original is entirely absent. It's sad to see a beloved IP return after so many years as a desiccated husk of its former self.

This game is very cute and adorable I love it~ 💖
The art style is super charming, and the characters are just too cute to handle!
The gameplay is relaxing, and it gives off such a warm, cozy vibe. Perfect for unwinding after a long day.

I want gimmick 3 now
