Kalimba Reviews
While it may have flown under the radar for some (I imagine the last minute name change didn't do it any favours), you'd be doing yourself a disservice by dismissing Kalimba, even with its rather straightforward and barebones presentation. As great as it is as a single player outing, Kalimba really shines when you can bring a partner along for the ride.
All in all, Kalimba is a very good 2D platformer. The difficult puzzles, the colorful and triangular world, Hoebear, and the constant thinking about how to move forward all ensure that you get a terribly expansive game. And that the co-op is only playable offline is just a small smear on an otherwise sublime platformer.

Kalimba is a must-play for anyone who grew up playing games like Super Mario World and Kirby. This spiritual game effectively captures the spirit of the difficult traversing of a platformer mixed with a brilliant swapping puzzle mechanic that works without fail.
