    A spirited platformer that shouldn't be missed by fans of the genre. Fire it up, lean back, and let yourself drift.

    An ideal example of a game that rises above the sum of its parts. Its problems can't be ignored, but the its highs are so much higher than its lows. The game - like Toku - is a mischievous scamp whose faults are not its undoing. And when all's said and done, there's such a strong puzzle platformer here that it's hard to stay mad for too long.
