Now that I've beaten the game 100%, I can confidently recommend this game and say that I really enjoyed it. Maybe get it on a sale, but it's worth playing to experience the game for yourself. The game is challenging but fair, with a charming art style and mostly solid controls. My biggest issues with the game are with the controls and with the worst achievement in the game. The issue with the controls is in two parts. The configuration is terrible, defaulting to arrow keys for movement among other odd choices, with the configuration also resetting if a controller is plugged in or unplugged with its own issues on top of that. The other issue with the controls lies in the overuse of moves being tied to the dash button. You have multiple possible inputs, with no context for any buttons. You have a dedicated button for cancelling and another one for confirming any and all dialogue/text boxes. But separate buttons for jump, dash, and spray water which are all the most vital functions of the platforming that takes a vast majority of the time spent in the game. As a result, most unique aspects of movement like the slide tackle or the upward swing, are a mix of movement and using the dash button. What's frustrating though is there is a move that makes Tembo round like a ball and immediately and very quickly go diagonally down tied to dashing in the air, which is frustrating when your dash gets cancelled in midair so you want to resume it, or you need to jump and do an upward swing, or the game just randomly registers a new dash input from the button you've been holding in the middle of a jump. The result is that one of the least needed and hardest to control options in the game becomes frequently mistakenly used, at least to me. The other major issue is a grind-y achievement to collect 99 lives, represented by peanut butter jars. You collect peanuts instead of coins, with 300 making a single jar for a life and no 1-up items exist, so you just have to farm for 29,700 peanuts, probably 60 or so at a time because the easiest and safest way to get them is to go to 2-1 and go to the left for a large peanut near the beginning and quit out of the stage. It takes hours to mindlessly grind the lives regardless of the method you use and is the worst thing about this game. It's a decent length that just gets extended uselessly by a dumb mindless thing if you want all the achievements. That aside, it's a fun game and one I enjoyed while I was actually playing it. I do recommend it solidly, even if I have issues with it. It's got some good design throughout, and while it feels too short, I still would recommend it because of how solid the design is. A fairly underrated gem of a platformer!
