In this simulation/role-playing game, you must use the robotic pixie Tinker to educate a robot boy named Pino. You can move Tinker around, examining objects and collecting them in an adventure-like fashion. Pino will automatically follow you to the direction you are facing, but will continue walking until you stop him. He will also pick objects and make his own "experiments" with them. Your goal is to train Pino in various disciplines. His stats can be raised in a RPG style: reading books increases his intelligence, throwing a ball increases his dexterity, and so on. By praising or scolding Pino you will gradually make him understand what should be done and what not. The game features animations by Anime studios Mint and Omnibus Promotions. With direction from Takashi Yoneda and late anime director Umanosuke Iida. Read less

I dunno how to rate this one. The Sound and Look stay good. The concept is excellent and mostly well-done. But it gets a bit annoying dealing with him not wantign to do what I tell him etc. Well, namely him getting bored. But I did play through three acts hmm. I think this would be best played just casually without worrying about the acts imo.

Look: 8/10

Sound: 8/10

Play: 7/10 Neat, but could only keep my interest so long

Feel: 7/10

Attachment: 6.5/10 Even with the good Look and Sound, and high quality of the game overall, I don't see myself returning to this much.

Overall: 7.3/10
