What players think
The recurring themes across 41 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
I thought Shiny would be a fun loving little robot platformer with perhaps a quirky soundtrack and interesting mechanics involving robotic acrobatics.
Once you rescue two of them, it enables some sort of hyper charge boost that can be activated by pressing the Y game button on your controller or keyboard.
Overall, I definitely recommend Shiny, especially to those looking for a straightforward platformer that replaces combat with other gaming mechanics, such as the shield, cooling mechanic, and jet pack.
