Tinykin is a 3D platform game in which we play as a young astronaut visiting Earth. The problem is that the planet is abandoned and the hero has been reduced to the size of an ant. Fortunately, our protégé is not alone - he can count on the help of the titular tinykin.
Tinykin is a 3D platform game enriched with solutions that bring to mind the popular Pikmin series. The game was developed by an independent team Splashteam and was published by tinyBuild.
Tinykin takes us on a journey to the far future. In the year 2748 a young astronaut named Milo rediscovers a long forgotten planet - Earth. The protagonist immediately teleports to the blue globe, but being there, he discovers that he got into huge trouble. And it's literally huge, because he has become tiny, which means that even an inconspicuous wasp can pose a great danger to him. As if that wasn't enough, all the people disappeared in mysterious circumstances and time seems to have stood still in 1991. Fortunately, our protégé can count on help from the titular mysterious creatures whose strength is their size. Milo has no other choice - in order to find his way back, he has to set off on a journey through the great house, which holds the key to solving Earth's greatest mystery.
In Tinykin the action is presented from the third person perspective (TPP). During the game, we explore the house Milo has found himself in and its surroundings. Ants, beetles and other insects have built their cities among the standard furnishings, which are of gargantuan proportions from Milo's perspective. Although the house is devoid of its rightful inhabitants, Milo does not feel alone, as he often meets various characters who are willing to share their stories with him.
Although there's plenty of platform jumping typical of the genre, it's the tinykin that follow the protagonist that are the key to solving most problems. Exploring various rooms, we catch these creatures, and their abilities allow us to get into various hard to reach places. Thanks to their size, these creatures can, among other things, move heavy objects and create a kind of ladder, which Milo can climb up, and a few (or more) can be thrown accurately to break down closed doors. In addition, other attractions await the hero, such as a crazy slide on a soapbox. On the way we gain various upgrades that allow us to face new challenges.
Tinykin features an original graphic design, which consists of 2D (main character, tinykin) and 3D (elements of the environment) objects. The whole is maintained in a colorful, cartoonish style.

Game Ratings for Tinykin Video Game.
Push Square: 7 / 10 by Annette Magana
Other than a few frame rate issues, the game runs smoothly most of the time, which is essential given its heavy emphasis on platforming. This and missed gameplay opportunities don't stop the game from being a cute and compelling 3D platformer. Exploring a civilisation built upon books and rulers is a delight to travel around and unwind with of an evening.
Game Rant: 4 / 5 by Sam Stewart
Tinykin combines Pikmin-style action with intricate, vast and charming worlds.
ZTGD: 10 / 10 by Anthony Mann
I would talk about the story but outside of simple details around the world when playing the levels, most of the story comes in right at the end of the game in what I felt was pretty sad for a game this happy. It has a happy ending though and I did like it. There’s a lot to be enjoyed by both kids and adults in Tinykin. It’s on Game Pass while I write this but I would absolutely buy this game again on Switch just to have it on the go so I could play it all again. I have not had this much fun with a 3D platformer since Super Mario Odyssey or Bowser’s Fury. I hope we see more of the Tinykin in the future because I think there’s a lot more we could see them do in a much longer, bigger experience.
