Koa and the Five Pirates of Mara

Adorable 3D platformer. For context, in order to undestand the story better you may want to play Summer in Mara first but there is nothing stopping you to just skip the dialoge entierly like I did. The game definitely isn’t the longest; if focusing on the story itself, you can finish the game in about 5 hours. I wanted to torture myself, so I decided to get all the gold medals, which was a fairly straightforward challenge until the last level that took me over an hour to beat. I admit I suck, but I’m not the only one to be blamed for such a poor performance.
Although the game is mostly fine, there is some jank here and there that ganged up on me on the last map. While I’m at the cons, two more things that weren’t necessarily the end of the world but still kinda questionable. Firstly, the camera can’t be controlled manually. And secondly, why are there leaderboards when it doesn’t work, keep in mind the game is 1.5 years old, why add it then if it won’t be maintained shortly after the release.
On the flip side, I would like to praise the level design and movement.
As you can see, I don't have many complaints. I had fun playing it and enjoyed almost every moment.

I really enjoyed this game, was surprisingly challenging! Getting 100% was fun and easy with practice :)!
The only thing I regret is buying the rest of the dev's games because Ive had issues with some of them and the devs were just hostile and rude when I asked for help with it and basically told me that they don't work on the game anymore so if you have issues thats tough luck basically lol which I found pretty gross. Ive read another review on one of their games that they had similar replies from the devs so be careful when buying their games!! I wont be buying any newer ones in the future from them.
Thumbs up cause the game is fun.
Thumbs down cause the devs are rude.

I think I’m officially a Chibig fangirl.
This particular game is a cute little 3D platformer set in the world of “Summer in Mara”.
You absolutely don’t need to have played the previous entry in the series to enjoy this, but if you have played, it’s nice to see some familiar faces.
There are seven different “worlds” each with three main levels and a boss level, as well as some optional side levels for collectibles. The main levels all have three collectibles in them as optional side objectives and a gold/silver/bronze medal for how quickly you complete them.
You can play the game stress free to enjoy the story if you choose, as you don’t need any form of medal or collectible to progress. That said, the game is on the easier side, with time limits that are very generous for gold medals in most levels.
Overall it was short and sweet, and the story as usual from Chibig is simple but cute and enjoyable.

Did i miss a game in the series or something? is this part of a comic im not aware of? found it odd everyone knew each other already and they kept mentioning ppl i never met like yaya and more. Besides that the gameplay is Fire! the race levels were my favorite gave me that sonic, crash itch.

If I had to limit what I think of this game to one sentence, I would say that it has really, really good level design.
Just beating a level is going to be pretty easy most of the time. But beating a level fast is where the fun comes in. Movement is simple: skip, run, jump, roll, and long jump. The secret to going fast is to chain rolls and long jumps together. And the levels felt perfectly designed for going fast. Almost always, platforms were spaced so that I could choose to either use normal jumps or long jumps to progress, and not be forced to do one or the other. If I was brave, I could long jump over pits or onto the scenery for shortcuts. Every moving platform and trap felt perfectly timed so that, if you go fast, you never have to stop and wait. And chaining long jumps to accomplish this felt really fun. Sometimes I would just zip around town, not even challenging a level, just because I was having fun spamming long jumps all over the place.
The overall mood is very cheerful in a sort of "wholesome cartoon" kind of way. This mood and Koa's constant happy shouts during gameplay are infectious, and will probably do a great job cheering you up.
There are collectibles that will unlock new shirts, backpacks, ship upgrades, and town repairs, so that's an incentive to explore levels and take on additional challenges. Also, I was impressed to see that changing shirts not only affects the 3D character model, but also her 2D artwork.
I don't play many 3D platformers, but this became one of my favorites.

Short and sweet 3D platformer. Does not wear out its welcome. I enjoyed many of the levels and it builds on the world of Summer in Mara.

Ok platformer game, has nice visuals, the stages are pretty short and simple, has little to no frustrating parts so if you are looking for a chill platformer game it might be worth checking out.
