Good Platform Drawing And Coloring Fun

User Rating: 7.5 | Geuryeora, Touch! Naega Mandeuneun Sesang DS
It's quite obvious this platform adventure took much of its inspiration from Super Mario Bros. But the gameplay is a whole lot of fun -- and the fun and good gaming feelings come from being able to design some of the in-game elements such as platforms and environmental objects, as well as color many items, tools, modes of transportation and creatures.

Each level is nicely designed and makes you want to just explore it to find all the hidden bonus goodies as you rescue characters from the village you are aiding and collect pieces that make up pages from a Book of Creation.

In between levels of platform fun, you wander around a village, talking to each character to advance the story. There is a nice variety of worlds and levels to explore, and interesting array of monsters that you'll encounter.

The game uses the stylus for drawing and coloring, but most of the play uses the button controls alone.

The game comes across as simple and easy-going, however, after each world, you come to a boss battle. The boss battles are a big step in difficulty, one big enough to shock a casual gamer who has been cruising along up to that point. It has actually prevented me from recommending this title to a less experienced and/or younger gamers. Of course, it is not unbeatable, you just need to figure out the patterns and push the right buttons at the right time. Besides, you can easily get a whole lot of extra lives by replaying levels.
