In a World where 3D platformers are few and far between, in an era where people were imprisoned in their homes for months or years on end, Balan Wonderworld brought much-needed smiles and hope to those who played. Made by the creators of Sonic The Hedgehog, and displaying inspirations proudly, this game would almost singlehandedly pull me out of my PTSD episodes in what was otherwise a dark chapter in my life.
The bright, colourful graphics are extremely pleasing to look at, the classic theatre theme, setting and vibe are cozy, the frantic and chaotic energy mingles well with the more soft and heartfelt moments, the gameplay is simple enough to pick up and play but with a clever hook that'll keep you interested the more you play, the game rewards you for thinking outside the box with regards to overcoming given obstacles, and the little things it reminds me of (the Tims acting like Chao from Sonic Adventure and looking like Totoro Peeps, Balans personality reminding me a lot of Robin Williams' Genie from Aladdin, just to name a few) do a great job of taking me back to my childhood, where 3D platformers like Super Mario 64, Banjo and Sonic Adventure ruled the scene. It's very old-school-feeling--sometimes that may feel uncharacteristically obtuse, but oftentimes it's in the best ways.
I love Good Old Games, and want to move on from other platforms now, and just be able to play the games I buy without worrying about the servers hosting the DRM going boink. Square Enix, please. Enough time has passed--there's no good reason to keep avoiding this storefront, especially for games like this you don't seem interested in continuing. The fanbase for this game may be small, but we're also dedicated--if you give us another avenue to support the friendly maestro, we'll be there for him, as he was there for us.
