\"\"<\/a>Kuna is a purple monkey\u2026armadillo\u2026thing, who can roll into a ball to get around.\u00a0 He\/She\/It lives in a world full of floating islands and when the balance of the world is thrown off and evil emerges, it\u2019s up to Kuna to save the day by\u2026rolling little white balls into holes.\u00a0 Tin & Kuna is a 3-D action puzzle platformer that combines elements of Marble Madness, Super Monkey Ball, and\u2026golf?\u00a0 It\u2019s available on current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

Each level is a series of floating islands and you complete a stage when you roll the ball into a hole.\u00a0 Sometimes you must roll multiple balls into holes.\u00a0 Some stages are just obstacle courses and when you make it to the end, the ball is right next to the hole and you just roll it in to finish.\u00a0 But in other stages, you must figure out how to get the ball to the hole further in the level.\u00a0 Kuna will have to contend with all sorts of hazards, like pits, spikes, enemies, and more.\u00a0 If you get hit or fall off a ledge, you\u2019ll lose a notch off your life meter.\u00a0 Lose all three notches and you must start the level over again.<\/p>\n

Kuna has a few moves and tricks you can use.\u00a0 Kuna can dash, double jump, ground pound, and use special crystals in the levels to temporarily jump higher or get magnetized so you can move certain metal objects for a bit, among other things.\u00a0 There are also three hidden crystals in each level.\u00a0 Try to find as many as you can because that\u2019s how you unlock new worlds.\u00a0 You can also get medals for finishing stages super fast, or without taking any damage and such.\u00a0 There are bosses at the end of each world, but most are just fast-paced obstacle courses as well.<\/p>\n

The only big problem I had with the game is that while they do a good job of explaining the controls and moves, they neglect describing other things.\u00a0 For instance, there are little sparkly things you can collect scattered about in every level.\u00a0 What do they do?\u00a0 I have no idea.\u00a0 When you lose all your energy, the number of the sparklies you collect goes down a bit.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 No idea either.\u00a0 Other minor problems include wresting with the camera angles at times, steep difficulty spike after the first world, and the game just isn\u2019t too terribly original.\u00a0 That\u2019s why I lost interest in it, but that\u2019s only because I\u2019ve played a million of these kinds of games back on the GameCube and PS2.\u00a0 And this game reminds me of titles from that era, which isn\u2019t necessarily a bad thing.\u00a0 So if you miss those kinds of games, you may want to check this one out.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tin & Kuna is rated E for Everyone with an ESRB descriptor of Mild Fantasy Violence.\u00a0 If you get hit, you just get knocked back a bit and flash.\u00a0 You can smash into enemies, too, but they just get stunned with cartoony dizzy stars.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for the text, but not necessary just to play.\u00a0 Younger gamers may have trouble with the later, more difficult levels, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
