Our take on Dimensional Animals
Its unified level and ability-fusion structure keep the adventure focused on exploration and traversal, but that design leaves less room for separately paced stages or a broader range of gameplay systems.
What is Dimensional Animals?
Dimensional Animals is a metroidvania adventure starring five animal companions who share a playable group, each bringing a different movement ability.
Bingo the dog can teleport, Fidget the duck spin-jumps, Scott the cat climbs walls, Papo the frog dive-jumps, and Tucker the raccoon teleports upward. As exploration brings new animals into the group, their skills become available together. The adventure unfolds across a single connected level spanning multiple dimensions, with portals leading to new areas, skills, and unlockables.
Scattered rewards include 50 hidden diamonds and 25 health orbs, which can be used to obtain pet colors and increase maximum health. The game features colorful pixel art influenced by retro games and animated movies, plus a soundtrack that shifts with gameplay situations. Completion-focused players can also pursue numerous achievements.
