in the past


The game would be inoffensive if not for the terrible roulette system used to pick a level. At least the amiibo it came with is good.

how do you even come up with this


Pretty dang charming and fun take on the series. Has some odd design decisions, but overall I had fun with it.

I didnt think it was thaaaaat bad

its not that bad its just really boring

The game has nothing in common gameplay wise with previous entries.

It has very uninspired world themes, mediocre level design, the music is decent tho.

It's "playable" to say the least

Zip Lash isn't as ungodly bad as most make it out to be, but it still isn't great. At best, it's a competent, middling platformer that doesn't stand out very much.

Chibi-Robo Zip Lash is the definition of mediocre platforming.

When a game demands you replay levels based on a spinning wheel to progress, I don't feel like it respects my time. That's a shame, because I feel the core game loop itself is decent enough. The loop is sadly surrounded by strange decisions, all of which seem to try to tear you away from its main pull (pun intended).

THIS GAME BLOWS!

An actual fucking nightmare of a game. Every single last choice made in the design of this game is flawed. This game is basically Nintendo just spitting on the grave of Chibi-Robo. It’s a shit stain of a game in every conceivable way. The only positive thing to come out of this game is an Amiibo. That’s literally it. Nintendo sucks sometimes.

i only finished this game so i could be fully informed on hwo bad it was. felt like they had no faith in this project even up until the last boss where they basically just told you how to win the fight

sucks soooo bad scott the woz was right

The only good thing to come from this game is an really cool amiibo

Let me guess most of the reviews are Scott The Woz references?
Edit:Someone give me a gold star.

I'm almost impressed at how little of this game works. Every idea here is a failure both on its own and as its place in a greater whole. This game is a tedious, overlong mess that has no idea what it's trying to be.

I was never invested in the Chibi franchise but this is still insultingly bad, and mind-numbing in how generic and non-functioning its gameplay, plot, and content is in general. The only thing that stops this being a 1/10 is the last world being visually kinda pretty and that's it. Dreadful end for a cute and charming character, he deserved better.

It's just, idk, it exists i guess? It's perfectly playable? It's there.


Why did they do this to me? Justice for Chibi Robo!!!!

I honestly thought this was a goodish platformer as a kid. Why? I had played like 3 kirby games

Soo even though I played this game in my childhood, I never beat it. I found the game again one day and said "hey why don't I try to beat this game fully?" I'm not saying it was a mistake, but this definitely wasn't the best game I've played :/
Firstly, the levels were kinda dry and I really didn't like how you had to spin a roulette to get to your destination?? Like it's fine at first but when you only have one more stage left and roll a 2 then you have to go through the whole level process again. I'm not sure if there's a way to bypass this, but I hated redoing levels until I found a way to stop on the right panel.
Second, the music did feel uninspired. It's sad how this is the last entry in the Chibi Robo series because of how mid it was.
Last, (since I don't want to make this too long) the final boss. The second to last boss in the game was great. I loved how you had to shoot the targets on the spaceship and also avoid things flying at you. What I did not like is the actual final boss of the game. Why did they make you pay for the parts?? Luckily I had enough money but imagine those who didn't. If they didn't have amiibo, they would probably have to redo levels which sucks. And on top of that, the final boss was too easy, so the effort to buy everything wasn't even worth it. Also the ending was ruined for me by Telly's constant talking 😭 It would have been a beautiful moment of them looking at the sunset but blud just kept yapping 😭 Anyway, this game still gives me a little nostalgia, but playing without that filter let's me rate it at average.
TLDR: The game wasn't entirely bad, but it was just mid. It has a lot of flaws however.

Say the line, Scott!

This game blows.
