❤ Exploration and Traversal

Players can freely climb, glide, swim, and sail around the vibrant islands using a variety of movement options. The free-climbing mechanic allows players to ascend any surface without restriction, including trees and other physics-driven objects. Players can also utilize tricks and dives to perform fun aerial stunts. Sailing a customizable boat across the turquoise lagoons and diving around coral reefs and shipwrecks is another key traversal method.

❤ Soul Jumping Mechanics

A unique and highly praised aspect of the gameplay is the "soul jumping" mechanic. Players can take control of over 30 different animals and hundreds of objects, each offering unique abilities. Transforming into a bird allows for flying, while becoming a fish enables swift underwater exploration. The soul jumping mechanic provides players with a diverse set of abilities to solve puzzles and uncover secrets across the open world.

❤ Combat and Encounters

Players must face the Maano - mysterious wooden and fabric enemies created by the main antagonist. In these battles, players must keep moving, improvise, and utilize the soul jumping abilities to emerge victorious. While the combat is fun, some players have noted it can become repetitive, as the primary strategy involves possessing explosive objects and flinging them at foes.

❤ Ukulele and Rhythm Minigames

Players can jam on a fully playable ukulele at any time, either by themselves or alongside other characters in the world. The ukulele also features in rhythm-based minigames that occur at key story moments. While some players have expressed that these rhythm sections can become repetitive, the game provides an option to autoplay them, allowing players to simply enjoy the music.

❤ Customization and Collectibles

The game offers a robust customization system, allowing players to stylize the protagonist's clothing and boat with a wide range of unlockable cosmetic items. Additionally, players can discover a variety of collectibles and tools, such as a flashlight, slingshot, and camera, which can enhance the protagonist's abilities and provide new ways to interact with the world.
