Boing! Docomodake is a very Japanese puzzler that surprisingly made its way stateside! At $14.99, it's a good value too.
Papa Docomodake is off trying to rescue his family members, who have suffered some mishaps. You will explore everywhere from a Bat's Cave to a fantasy forest in your quest to reunite your family. There are a total of seven zones in all and each of them adds new game play elements.
The music loops throughout the levels but never gets grating or annoying because the tunes are rather relaxing. The graphics are pretty, especially the little scenes telling the story. As you play through the game, the money you get can be spent on creating a gallery of level images and sounds.
There are some small grammatical errors but the game's focus is more on game play so these are excusable. Some of the puzzles do get tedious because it is very easy to screw up and make it so you have to start over.
Over all, I was impressed by the little budget title. The box even has a nice three-dimensional slip case. I recommend it if you think mushrooms are cute, if you like platform puzzlers or if you just want to try something a little different!
