An underrated gem
The sequel thickens the spinning-helicopter concept with trickier levels and fresh modes, faithful to the original's demands. Stuck in Japan, it never enjoyed the visibility of its already obscure predecessor. Fans of dexterity puzzles and tight scoring will find a tough, deliciously frustrating challenge here.
Is Kururin Paradise still worth playing in 2026?
Kururin Paradise extends the excellent concept of Kurukuru Kururin with new, even trickier mazes for the rotating helicopter Helirin, along with enriched mechanics. The millimetric precision, demanding timing and the satisfaction of clearing an impossible passage stay intact, carried by a colorful and polished presentation. The difficulty climbs fast and can grate. Kept exclusive to Japan, it speaks to fans of the first installment and of sharp dexterity puzzles, ready to face an at-times fearsome challenge.
