Aby game that you heard about and thought “meh it’s just another xyz style game. How good can it be?” But you gave it a go anyway and it turned out the game was really good.
Balan wonderland. It looked like a dumb kids game graphically, and I never saw it cost more than $10 new. How good could it actually be?
Picked it up because why not, $10. And it’s actually a great little platformer with cute and engaging mechanics.
I wish the clock did something if you complete it; spawning the kings is a gigantic pain and very confusing for something that does nothing at all, but it’s a very cute little side project, so it should have had a purpose. The use of consumable costumes sucks. It should just be an unlock thing rather than needing to farm the level, since farming is just standing next to the spawn point, which is tedious and dumb. Other than those two minor complaints, it is really engaging and a lot longer than I was expecting. Lots of hidden stuff, great level design, and just complicated enough to make you think without being overly frustrating.

I love that you dig it but don’t even call it by the right name, Balan Wonderworld, because it was named so poorly hahahaha
