So apparently, Yuji Naka (the father of Sonic and Nights) dumped the entire story and character backgrounds into a companion novel because he apparently underestimated the importance SE's mandate for story centric games. Balan Company (Yuji Naka's dev team for Balan World) then spent huge portions of the budget on the developing the 80 unique looking costumes each with powers (that all basically do only one of 10 things. Some of which were literally just a jump action), fixing the bugs in the costumes, making the cinematic cutscenes & dance sequence, adding more costumes, fixing the new bugs those new costumes added, then rushing to finish the actual stages without much play testing because the game needed to be released🤷🏾♂️. Meanwhile, SE had no interest in platformers to begin with but decided to placate him with the caveat that it was Yuji's job to impress them with sales of this game. Hence why this has no SE polish at all.

Look, I get why everyone complains about the gameplay, and I even agree, honestly. But I think that the messages addressed in this game are ones worth listening to. Celebration, living life in the most positive way possible, not letting failure stop you from lifting your head high. These are real world issues. I wonder, perhaps if someone were to make an anime of this, it might save the Balan Wonderworld idea. Not the game, but the idea, the story, the moral behind the game, which is what's really important.

It is a fair thought. I think a lot of people decided not to pay attention to the story because they could not look past the gameplay (which on the surface is reasonable, and it is also a children's game as well), and those who did pay attention to the story just thought it was contrived. Hell, I also thought it was too contrived, but after having had it pointed out to me, I recognize the themes clear as a sunny day.

If they made an anime of this I have some ideas for what the episodes could be : On a rainy day Leo finds an old deck of tarot cards and he, Emma and Balan have fun telling each other's fortunes, but when Lance steals the deck, the future might not be too bright for the heroes. On the day of an eclipse, it's a special day for Balan as he can save all the souls that Lance corrupted before he could save them, but his dark half has no intention of letting that happen. Lance attempts to trap Balan on earth, but it backfires when the kids are unable to leave the theater so they have a sleepover until the next day (because the magic would wear off at the next sunrise.) During a Halloween festival the trio is on the lookout for Negati, but with everyone in costume, how are they going to be able to figure out who's who?! After a long week of soul-saving Leo, Emma and Balan are extremely exhausted and need a little break, so they take a beach day, but a Sandcastle Negati ends up ruining the fun. Balan reveals important info about him and Lance's origins, the Negati, and how the Theater Of Wonder was created .

This ain’t the worst thing since Superman 64, it’s a competent product with an obvious amount of love and detail. Looking at the cutscenes is proof of that. It’s just whoever made the gameplay the way it is didn’t give a damn and just wanted the paycheck.

It was simplified for kids so they only need one button but the fact that the one character that does speak resorts to subs to be understood in other languages which defeats the purpose since kids who need one button wouldnt have that reading lvl. So many flaws in what could've gone good. Who needs 60 power ups that all do the same 5 things? Then again. This is from the same guy who did Sonic's many messy games. Sonic Boom. Need I say more

Honestly, in spite of what others say, there is a clear theme to the game: Rekindling passion. Whether that be passion in your profession, in others, or simply in what you love. Theres a reason you loved it in the first place, and sometimes we just need a reminder of why we fell for that passion in the first place. Regardless of the negative emotions that may make us struggle.

I'll tell you, when the trailers came out showcasing this game, they hyped it up to the point where I was really looking forward to it. The idea of exploring a mysterious and fantastical world, fighting intimidating bosses and overcoming fear, all the while harnessing different powers to complete challenges, really sounded cool on paper. The designs were interesting, Balan himself looked like a charming, whimsical ally, Lance looked dark and intimidating, and the bosses really did capture the idea that they were manifestations of fears and insecurities. I was intrigued, downright excited for the release. But when it came to actual gameplay... not going to lie, I was... very disappointed. I expected it to be more than "command tied to all buttons, use this costume specifically for this thing, also get all the statues or you can't progress." Not to mention how the game will suddenly lag out of nowhere, or how the majority of the bosses basically follow the method of "hit this back at them or use a costume that attacks." All in all, Balan Wonderworld had a lot of potential, but the execution could have been a lot better. So no, I'm afraid I won't be buying it. But at the very least, I can watch these cutscenes and think about what could have been.

Okay, I’m going to be honest here. Balan Wonderworld doesn’t deserve the hate it gets. I will agree that the gameplay is bad, but everything else is just under-appreciated art. All the hate and trash talk people throw at this game just makes me love and appreciate it even more. What I love most is that they don’t directly tell the stories, but rather tell them via visuals. To me, that’s very theatrical. And that’s the main theme about this game. THEATRE! I’ve looked more into this game, and I’ve only started to like it even more, despite its major flaws. The music is excellent, the characters are interesting and unique, and I can actually relate to some of these characters, mainly Lucy Wong (I understand the struggle of artist’s block) and Balan (I’m a theatre kid). All I have to say is that despite the biggest flaws, it’s best to appreciate the little things. This game is one of the most beautiful games I’ve ever seen and I will always appreciate it for what it has to offer. I love this game for what it WANTS to be. I don’t care how bad you think this game is. I love it, so SHUSH.
