Bangai-O Spirits (DS)

An hour of lunchtime play. One whole hour.
How many stages completed?
One. One whole stage. The first stage in the “Other” section, known as The Face. It was hard, but I got it in the end. I’m now stuck on the second stage, which is killing me. A lot.
And just think, I thought I tried the “Other” stages because I thought they might be easier than the “Treasure Favorite” stages I was doing last night. Ouch.
Still, it’s not a bad thing. Even when dying over and over again, it’s still an awful lot of fun. It’s nice to be a bit rubbish at the game, because that means it’ll last forever.

Finally, the English-language version arrives!
It’s been a long time coming, but now it’s here. And was it worth the wait?
Well, yes. It’s fantastically addictive and hard as nails. (It took me quite some time to actually complete the final tutorial level – and I was quite surprised to see the credits at the end.) It’s half-shooter, half-puzzle and the one-more-go-factor is up there with Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2. Yes, it’s that compelling.
Amazing stuff, but I suspect it won’t be for everybody.
