Marsupilami: Hoobadventure surprised me with its charming balance of simplicity and challenge. The controls are straightforward, which makes it easy to jump in, but you’ll still need to stay sharp for some of the trickier levels. With options like a “no injury” mode, it’s perfect for younger players and newcomers, yet it still has plenty to engage experienced platformer fans.

Gameplay: Simple but satisfying. There’s enough variety to keep you focused, and the game has a welcoming difficulty setting that makes it enjoyable for all ages.

Music & Visuals: The visuals are colorful and lively, with four main areas that each feel fresh and distinct. The music is a standout—catchy and fun right to the end.

Replayability: I finished my first playthrough in about 4 hours, but the game encourages you to return, whether to take on the hardest difficulty, try time trials, or hunt down collectibles. It’s a great way to keep the fun going.

The story itself is simple but fun: Marsupilami stumbles upon a sarcophagus, accidentally releasing an evil skeleton that turns wildlife into enemies. To save the day, you’ll need to retrieve three crystals from the skeleton to restore the world to normal.

Most importantly, this game brought me back to the feeling of being a kid again. Marsupilami has a relaxing, classic platformer vibe, and for the first time in years, it made me feel like I was playing Donkey Kong Country again—not for the difficulty, but for the pure, nostalgic joy. If you’re after a fun, feel-good experience, this game is definitely worth your time!
