guys dont delete this from your iphone you cant get it back
genuinely made me feel like i was about to die. i don't know how much of this was the game or just how i felt at the moment but i nearly passed out.

my dumb ass thought this would be a platformer
sort of unique in its inadequacy! just fetch quests in an empty forest. you walk back and forth ad nauseam, occasionally broken up by 2 lines of dialogue or a miserable minigame. considering this is already a top-down GBA game, this makes the whole experience so bland that it actually gains a little value in just being an oddity to me. too little effort to be worthwhile, too much effort to be valuably lethargic. just enough to be a god damned camp lazlo game.

this shit is so fire
i am horrified and crestfallen to concede that this is easily the best of the licensed GBA games i have played so far. it’s a real game, unfortunately, although a tiny and inoffensive one.
i can’t stress enough that this is a contextual 8/10 based on expectations and experiences in the form, but for what it is, it’s your bush-era money’s worth.

very fun for like 2 days and then immediately becomes not fun at all even a little
she gets so fucking scared when a bee touches you
it’s getting bleak out here
i try to be an empathetic person, especially in regards to art. it is of extreme priority to me that i embody someone who can pinpoint the beautiful in all things; no matter the circumstances under which they were conceived, or the questionable intentions they may have embedded. i even hold a particular fondness for the universally-regarded-as-dog-cock movie this game is based on.
with that being said:
it takes a awful lot for me to call a game “unplayable”. if ever something truly felt like that to me, it likely would have my intrigue (or at least my sympathy) just by nature of being so impotent.
this cuts so much deeper than being unplayable. it is a genuinely nauseating experience. a game under no anesthetic; alive and functional to the most barebones extent, spread wide open by two gloved hands as if inviting you to peer inside in devastation. a trampled graveyard for careers in the arts, commodified into a 4D ride experience at—you guessed it—universal studios.

extremely sweet game. could be another case of me being 5 years old but i liked this a lot.

the jump animation is extremely funny
have seen better 2d platformers made inside dreams
very nice to look at but not great to play. a lot of cool ideas though! it just is so annoying sometimes
