Your reflexes will be tested, as well as your wit and intellect as you navigate through this beautiful, colorful world helping Shiny in his search. All kinds of different animations let you know how Shiny’s feeling. So you’ll always know if he’s feeling happy, concerned, tired or angry. That will help you solve the trickiest situations in the game. Use your ability to shine skillfully: the babies can only follow Shiny when he is lit up, but that also makes him visible to his enemies… Less

agurczuk's review of Shiny the Firefly

A not so pretty boring game that should probably stick with mobile. I played this on PC and was generally unimpressed and got bored pretty quickly. So did my son watching me play it.

The splash screen looks promising as a kid friendly game but when played the low resolution assets sie and the game stops looking so good.

The general gameplay loop is about this flying bug that flies around using his shiny end to lead some other bus into exit point avoiding obstacles like water, wasps and spiders.

While it doesn't sound so bad the clunky controls and very stiff movement makes it rather dull experience.

What else to add. Got bored quickly as did my son after just a handful of levels. Not returning to this ever. Maybe on mobile I'd be more lenient with review but on PC it has no place to be.
