The three characters grow on you as the game progresses, and while the dialogue isn't exactly hilarious, it's amusing, well-written, full of bug-related puns, and walks the fine line between straight-laced fantasy and fourth-wall-breaking humor.

When I say this game aspires to be Paper Mario , I'm not talking about a few little touches here and there.

Each character is a flat 2D model with big fat black outlines walking around a 3D world. The art style looks simplistic, as if it was drawn by a crayon-wielding kindergarten class, yet it's bursting with life and personality.
