This game is deceptively simple. You spin continuously, certain surfaces will switch your rotation and your goal is to make it to the end of each level mostly unscathed.

While I can't go into too much depth about what worked and what didn't, what I can attest to is that I entered into a fugue state while playing Kuru Kuru Kururin. What was supposed to kill half an hour ended up swallowing up my night, as I noticed the clock had ticked past midnight and my partner was readying up for bed while I grappled with the final level. It only took me 2 hours, yet felt much shorter than that even. The pace is brisk and the game never wears out its ideas, so I suppose you can take that as the highest praise imaginable.

The truth is that, while fun, the game will likely leave your thoughts almost as quickly as it entered them. A perfectly fine 7 out of 10. Quintessentially so, even! I'll definitely give the rest of the series a go too.
