Tinykin gains Challenge Update on Switch, details and trailer

Tinykin, which first appeared on Switch back in August, has just gone live with a brand new Challenge Update.

The update contains time-attack challenges across every region of the game, rewarding Milo with some fancy new outfits. After completing a room’s main quest, players will find a pair of new Hornet characters. Challenge them on the courses they’ve set up in Transidor, Sanctar, Foliana, Balnea, Ambrose, and Celerion (one short and one long course per zone), beat their gold medal times, and celebrate with fashion. Also teased are some extra surprises for those going the extra mile and 100% completing Tinykin.

We have a quick refresher on the game in the following overview:

Tinykin is the tale of Milodane (Milo to his friends), an interstellar explorer who has just stumbled upon the long-lost planet Earth. The surface is nothing like he expected; he’s barely an inch high, and trapped in a very ’90s home. So begins a weird, wacky platforming adventure, filled with strange new sights and unexpected new friends.
Every room holds surprises, secrets and highly evolved (and mostly friendly) insect civilizations. Befriend bugs, and recruit the Tinykin; mysterious and powerful creatures that swarm to Milo’s aid fresh from their eggs. Lead them and they’ll move mountains, or at least some (comparatively) colossal objects. Different breeds can blast open sealed passages, build ladders to unreachable ledges and bridge electrical current between devices too!

The Tinykin are helpful, but not the solution to every problem. To really explore the house, you’ll have to master Milo’s upgradable Bubble Glider and speed around the house on a soap-bar surfboard. Grind spider-web rails and table-edges like the next Tiny Hawk! With all these options at your disposal, you’ll crack the mystery of this strange world in no time. Just don’t forget about the locals – they’re fun to hang out with too.

Here’s a trailer showing off the new Challenge Update for Tinykin:

All players on Switch can access today’s new update now.
