thissceneisdead, the target-market is japanese... so you won't understand it anyways :-)
(Unless you're a japanophile and know about the quirks of these people).

Never played Bionic Commando or anything?

It's an old-school style platformer. You know, back before they shoved long, complicated stories with cutscenes into platformers. Sure, it's cutesy and anime, but under that exterior you've got a challenging game that requires extremely precise timing and control.

Though given that, I wonder why they ported it to the handheld with (IMO) the worst d-pad...

woot trying it now... ill be back in a few minutes.

Okay! I've checked it out and decided to share a few thoughts. The grappling hook is an awesome perk. The fish die too easily. Other than that it's a pretty solid platformer! (I only played lvl 0 and lvl 1) =)

This game is pretty unique. I really enjoyed the grappling perk and the art style. I also thought that the enemies(if you can call them that were to easy to kill...) the game has 3 levels (4 counting 0 I think?) Overall it's a solid platformer with elevator music! :D
