Story
"Anecdotal"
The European edition carries the joke into the very typography of the title and multiplies its interlude screens: a spell-making machine, a board of letters to assemble, mini-games popping up between levels. The backgrounds scroll at a mad speed without ever losing sharpness, and every world changes its chromatic range entirely.
Gameplay
"Masterful"
Behind its zany title hides a breakneck dash where you scoop up fleeing rabbits while juggling spells and bonuses. Movement speed and screen-reading dictate the tempo of an action as bewildering as it is endearing. Rare and singular, this concentrate of arcade energy keeps a freshness that its gleeful madness amply explains.
Fun
"From the very first minutes"
Addictiveness
"Engaging"
Difficulty
"Easy"
