Interesting looking game George, but agree looks like it could have been developed further maybe? Ironically this actually reminded me of some Nintendo ds games from back in the day, where they didn’t fully utilise the two screens – there seemed to be loads of titles where they were basically bog standard gba games but with useless / info with no real purpose on the extra ds screen etc. Its a curious game and watch nonetheless 😊
or maybe a minigame that you took part in sometimes, it just does absolutely nothing save for playing out the “story” which is as usual reasonably threadbare and not required once you’ve seen it one time. everything, i think, could have been on the bottom screen ! same with “squish” that’s another waste of real estate for the most part.

Will you be reviewing Game & Watch – Barcadia?
I enjoyed the review. Very disappointing that it didn’t develop as you progressed, giving the impression it was a half arsed rush job from the big N.
i was actually really surprised by how few screens there actually are, it’s more like a proof of concept than a game. it’s very strange as it is a good idea for a game and it can’t have been THAT hard to make up a lot more levels !

Good point. They should have had something useful on there, like the weather. Or horoscopes, like the Neo Geo Pocket.
