Skill Rating

7+ year-olds usually have the required skill to enjoy this game. For younger players with the patience and inquisitiveness to explore and discover the world, this is a great fit. You do need to use the map and compass to carefully find all the items, and have the desire to complete your collections.

You can co-play with a parent and very young child where you hand the child the controller to use the telescope and find items in the world for you both to collect.

The game has no difficulty as there is no way to die or fail the game. You can practice features as you find them, without pressure.

There are very rare occasions where timing is important such as the optional collection of animals, but the game is designed so that timed button presses are not required. For example, jumps and climbing in the environment don't need timed presses.

When using the telescope the game provides large directional assistance in the form of a circle that indicates where items are for you to find. The circle directs you in towards the items which are then permanently highlighted next time you use the telescope in that area.

Discovered locations are marked in the map and the world. This serves as a log of items to find in the game. You can approach this aspect of the game in any order. As you approach interact-able items the game shows a sizeable icon with the button you need to press. There is a map and compass that provides indication of the next waypoint with a green symbol. When you look through a telescope you can zoom in on distant areas and items are indicated with different icons.

You can set the colour of the in-game directional guidance (paths and objects).

Some of the collectable items in the game make a directional sound (and controller vibrates), however this has a small range. The seeds you need to complete levels make a sound with a larger range and when you have picked it up you are aided to its destination by a pulse sound that increases in tempo as you approach.

On controller you can choose pre-set mappings that offer set-ups for Beginner and One-Handed controls.
