Glad you asked, because I'm dying to find out too. The Steam page describes it as an open-world, movement-focussed adventure where atop every hill is a buddy that needs your help. You bop cardboard baddies, brave serene hills and forests, and scale sheer rocks that only a kid would dare.

Personal comments:
I'm very excited to try the demo. While the game reminds me of Zelda and A Short Hike, I really want to explore and enjoy the game at its own merits. The trailer, artstyle and music grabbed my attention immediately.
What are your thoughts on this game? Is this the first time you heard of it? Did you already play the demo?
I'm also really glad that Playtonic is looking into giving small developers like these their attention, we need more publishers that support indie devs.

Alright so I just finished playing the demo and here are my thoughts:

It controlls really well, the writing is funny, the color are amazing, the music is a little generic but it works like a Short HIke, as you get higher up the music changes.
The combat is funny but you're basically bashing static objects. Swimming works great, climbing is fun, gliding is fun.

On its own it's a fun exploration game with quirky characters and an unique look and feel. Can't wait for this game to launch on Switch.

This looks really fun! Sadly I don't own a PC so I can't check out the demo, but I'll keep an eye out for this on Switch for sure.
