Summary

An utterly bizarre experience.

The Good

Would you expect any difference from Shiny? This game sets new boundries when it comes to insanity. The guys who designed this thing are clearly out of their minds.. who would come up with such a ridiculous plot in the first place?

Anyway, this game is weird and cute at the same time, with high levels of playability, well done graphics, cute sound and a really nice programming touch (its fast!).

And it's Earthword Jim, what more is there to say?

The Bad

ZERO replayability factor. You get tired after the first time. And the game is rather repetitive as it is.

The Bottom Line

A really bizarre game most people find very likable.
