4/10 puzzles. some of those puzzles are trail and error solves that are just you trying a new thing over and over annoying
3/10 story
+ voice acting

- they establish MANY times the main protagonist is a child and the only kids in all of town
creepy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dude in town that sells you stuff and says over and over he will give you free stuff if you go on a date with him
- the way you heal is by eating snacks you find or pay for or using a healing pad that the main protagonist stands on floats up in the air naked and spins around well saying heavenly. WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE???? i wouldn't care if they were of age, its still creepy as ♥♥♥♥. but can you stop perving on underage kids.....
- creepy ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Cylinder, the adult who wants to date you. he watches you change your clothes and you unlock an achievement for it....
gameplay wise decent game and i had fun.
cant recomend a game with this many pedo vibes

In the ludography of Falcom exists a small subset of games that I loosely assign a genre "Cute Falcom". In this genre, the story won't rattle you like Trails, and the action won't be as perfectly-honed as Ys. What you do get, though, is an incredibly charming, semi-experimental, (mostly) lighthearted, unpretentious, fun little romp. Other games in this genre I've played are the Zwei games, but for me Gurumin is the best of the bunch. It's got some interesting nuance to combat -- like letting you land crits if you attack on beat, to name just one -- and it focuses on level design that has you exploring and platforming in 3 dimensions. The music is incredible, the characters are goofy and cute, and there's even a secret very difficult superboss. All this in under 20 hours. I just love this game. All-time favorite.
