Though the Switch eShop is pretty well packed with platformers of all sorts, ranging from budget-friendly to pricey, classic side-scrolling to full-on 3D, I wouldn’t say that there are too many that feel like they were made with younger or less experienced players in mind. Even ones that may somehow err on the side of being less complex may not always have appropriate theming, or demonstrate what feels like sufficient patience to get less skilled players on board with the controls, and then steadily make things more challenging in a gentle manner, appropriate for people of almost any skill level.

That’s where Teeto comes into the picture, and while more seasoned gamers will likely scoff at its relatively low level of general difficulty, and its pretty saccharine-sweet main character, it actually feels like a great choice for gamers in training who are looking for something that suits them. Thankfully, aside from merely featuring plenty of 3D platforming in general, Teeto also possesses an almost Kirby-like ability to absorb a wide variety of things that you’ll bump into along your journey, which each open the door to new abilities that can help with combat, traversal, or just in making the game a little more varied and fun.

What’s nice is that the game’s difficulty should scale up and down with the player quite nicely. The core platforming never gets to be terribly taxing overall, but there are some spots that you’ll generally need to complete a puzzle of some kind to find that do ramp things up at least somewhat in terms of difficulty. Completionists will at least need to demonstrate some smart exploration skills, usually discovering the need to change forms to get into some sort of secret area, so even though the game skews in the direction of being easier, that isn’t to say it has nothing to offer more veteran players. While it will by no means stand among the best, or maybe even most middling, platformers on the system, there’s nothing wrong with another option for budding gamers of the future who are looking for something more their speed.
