If the two trailers have really exhilarated us, we needed at least a grip to get a real idea about this title developed by Mr Nutz Studio, the creators of Mister Nutz on Super Nintendo and the most recent Toki released in 2018 on Nintendo Switch. Good thing, we had the opportunity to go to the Microids premises at the end of September to finally see what the game looked like.
