This was the game that made me make that list for games with puns in their titles, it doesn't show here because IGDB were probably embarrassed by it but Kwirk has the subtitle "He's a-maze-ing!" under it for the western boxart and appeared in my rom's file name.

...and shockingly it's a pretty fun puzzle game? It's super standard "push the blocks" and shit gameplay, but it's genuinely pretty well made. I have a love-hate relationship for these kind of games, because they're genuinely fun to do while lounging around watching the telly but they also make me feel like a dumbass, which isn't great for my self-esteem. Either way, one thing that did pop up in my mind upon first playing this was how small the sprites are, they're so tiny! Like Kwirk could be pulverized by a thumbtack or something, he better watch out!

Pretty fun! If you need a game boy game to play in your family sedan go ahead and pick it up, it's only 15 bucks for a loose copy.
