Description This is a unique character creation game for the 3ds that I found at my local games store and bought on a slight interest, and honestly, I had a pretty good time.

We're gonna start with gameplay first because it has an effect on the other categories. The entire game is played with the touch screen from creating characters to controlling their movements. First is creation. You can select each individual part of your character and put them together however you want. When you start the game you have few shapes but you can change the proportions of each part (in fact Lily was my first creation made of the same circle part. You can select the color of each piece so you can color them freely. As you progress in the game you will gain more parts to create more complex characters like Sam. There's three key parts that will drastically effect how your creations play. Wings will let them fly in the air for a short amount of time, fins will let them breath underwater indefinitely, and wheels let them move much faster like a car. There's 4 stages that will require you to make 5 characters to progress in the overall game. Each of these stages take advantage of one of those 3 parts to traverse them better. Each stage has a time limit before it send u back to the main idea.  While exploring the stage you can eat food to lay eggs full of treasures, gather keys to open chests full of treasures that could let  you  design each stage with more details and colors, take quests from stage characters or even your own characters, and tackle the stage dungeon. the dungeon lets you tackle enemies, gather power ups to boost your stats, and fight a boss to save the king. However your characters will auto battle every enemy they encounter and their stats will be determined by their size, limbs, and design.

Graphics are subjective as you literally will unlock the decorations, so while a stage starts barren with no colors, but as you open chests you will be able to determine what everything looks like. It's honestly one of the more openly creative games you can play so I can't give much criticism about the graphics.

Story? really there is no story, or at least one with much depth. I can't be too harsh as to make the game like this makes a deeper story difficult to do kinda how Miitopia lets you get creative with how the cast looks, but it also has a simple story to compensate for that. 

Overall this was a fun game to play mainly for it's uniqueness and creative freedom few games give me. If your a fan of games that let you make your own characters like Miitopia maybe consider picking up a copy or downloading it before the eshop on 3ds closes down. I give this an 8 out of 10 a great game specifically for artists and gamers who like games that let them be creative so long as they don't mind the low difficulty and lack of a real story
