I’m happy here

Despite not having played it myself, I gather that Bobo Bay is inspired by the Chao Gardens fromSonic Adventure. My ambivalence towards said hedgehog has not prevented me locating meditative joy in gallivanting about Bobo Bay, stealing creatures from the nearby forest, and stuffing cakes in their faces. The snacks boost your Bobo’s stats, which help them crush the cuddly competition in a series of races. You don’t actually control these races, but they are very short, and also allow you to aid your entrant via a hype button. You can pet the Bobos. You can accessorise them with hats. You can mash them together to create new ones. It’s a nice place to be!
“There are thousands of combinations of Bobos you can make,” reads the Steam page, with justified enthusiasm. “Body color, eye color, body part shapes, patterns, sheens, stats, personality traits, etc will all change with each Bobo you find or mash! Distinct Bobo traits and moods will completely change how you interact and care for your Bobos. Don’t forget to dress them up in a fancy little top hat as well.”
“Races are the main event in this Bobo world,” it continues. “Different companies and organizations from around the globe sponsor different competition series and award unique prizes! Bring your Bobos along to the BRAND NEW AND VERY CLEAN SPORTS COMPLEX to enter them into a competition.”
When the character you play as moves around the world, she occasionally sticks out her arms like an aeroplane. If you wish, you can pick the Bobos up, throw them long distances, then continue to run around like an aeroplane. This, to me, is kino. There’s a demo on Steamhere.
