    The game can be incredibly frustrating but this pays off with a huge sense of achievement when you finally nail a level.

    The simplistic mechanics don't offer that remarkable of a hook, and the game spans just a couple of hours. As a light snack between big holiday releases, however, it's a pleasantly tasty distraction. [Holiday 2012, p.73[

    Derrick the Deathfin is a beautiful very fresh looking title. Underwater paper craft is a unique art style that has never been done in games before. The characters look fantastically groovy almost stoned. Looks super funky and plays nice. Everyone should play Derrick!… Expand
