You're Kururin For a Treat
This review is for the Game Boy Advance version

KuruKuru

Kuru Kuru Kururin entered my life out of nowhere. Imagine the saddest, most beat up Game Boy Advance box you've ever seen; lost and crushed under video tapes on SALE in some bin at the local grocery store. It was only 5$ and it had a weird name, but the box art hinted at a puzzler and I'm always down for handheld puzzle games.

You're a blue duck in a helicopter (I just thought it was a rod) and you go through mazes trying not to hit the walls. You can switch spin directions, but hit any boundaries and you lose seconds - three hits and you're dead. Simple, rewarding and incredibly fun! You can customise your "rod" and you can speed run levels for replayability. I can't recommend this game enough, it's great and addictive and you should pick it up, preferably on a handheld, not on the Wii.

This is the definition of a hidden gem. It's obscure, and while not incredibly deep or fulfilling, it's a good enough time and I liked replaying levels to find my weird alien duck family to get the true ending. I wish there were more power-ups!
