in the past


I cannot for the life of me understand why this is considered one of the best Kirby games. The main mechanic gets old after 5 minutes, the level design ranges from mediocre to absolutely awful, the music is not the best, and the entire thing is just...not comfortable to play. Epic Yarn remains unbothered.

cool ass game where you draw lines and a pink ball rolls on them

piss to control but that's the fun in it!!

This game is not perfect and controlling it is a little squirrelly but god I loved playing it anyway. What a fun little game. I actually managed to 100% this bad boy and I had a file with all the cool unlockable characters and lines and such.

And then I let a younger cousin borrow it and he overwrote the save file. This is a lesson to us all: never be nice to your younger cousins. Anyway I tried it again more recently and didn't like playing it half as much, which I guess is part of getting older. Still, I'll always have those memories...

Absolutely love this Kirby game


pretty creative but not anywhere near as fun as i remembered. i'm guessing the sequel is probably miles better but it's wii u so who cares

Facinho e tranquilo como de costume da série, mas sem ofender a inteligência do jogador como Crystal Shard ou Dream Land 3. Usa muito bem a tela de toque e, apesar de poder ser jogado descompromissadamente e não ser muito longo, é lotado de conteúdo extra para quem quiser se dedicar.

If Canvas Curse released at any other time other than the launch window for the DS, I doubt it would be looked at as a good game. Its fairly average, and makes a simple task of getting from point A to point B into a bit of annoying one using unusual means of guiding Kirby through the level. It certainly isn't as bad as I make it out to be, but it really doesn't deliver much to the Kirby series aside from having a fairly large amount of content and good soundtrack. Overall Canvas Curse is a product of its time than anything else.

Es entretenido, pero el gimmick táctil acaba cansando.

I played it a lot as a kid. One of my favorite kirby spin offs, the music and touch controls were really good.

last boss is gonna haunt my dreams forever

A really neat idea, I love the visual style and the minigames (even though I do wish the game didn't use them as substitutes for actual bosses. It only has one real boss...), the remixes are fantastic, navigating is fun once you get the hang of it and 100% is great too!

Do recommend.

Best kirby game. Its amazing how innovative and fun this game was. Its just a delight to play. The mechanics are well designed and works great with the ds stylus. Sharp level design , loads of collectibles and a hefty challenge awaits. Easily one of the best gimmick games on the DS and one of the best nintendo games of that generation.

Kept switching between liking this game and getting furious over it. I appreciate what it does, but I don't think it pulls off it's central mechanic as well as it could, leading to some very frustrating sequences. Also Paint Roller can go to hell.

why push button when u can draw line

Canvas Curse é uma experiência bem diferente de Kirby tradicional. O gameplay é quase que completamente diferente, emprestando alguns elementos do modelo base da franquia. A mecânica principal é desenhar com a caneta um caminho que será seguido pelo personagem, que nesta experiência não tem movimento livre, mas sim automatizado, praticamente "on rails", mas você que desenha os trilhos.

É uma experiência bastante criativa e inovadora, mas que infelizmente morre na praia da repetição e marasmo. É sem dúvida mais desafiador que a série padrão, e apesar das limitações impostas é bastante feliz em adicionar mecânicas extras que tornam o gameplay mais interessante.

Infelizmente não o suficiente pra me segurar.

I regret buying this game. Literally the only fun part was the final boss.

Also one of the worst games I've ever played

Pretty fun use of the DS touch screen and pretty nice to run through.

This is again a innovative Kirby game introducing new mannuals by drawing lines for Kirby to follow.

this was maybe fun for the first hour but then it got firstly boring and secondly annoying. They tried something new and they succeeded partly.

A kinda fun and unique take on a Kirby game but ultimately not one I cared enough to beat.

don't remember shit about it other than that I didn't like it


This game is more fun than it looks like, and its design is very creative.

Cool idea, but not really fun to play for longer than 10 minutes.

This is the definition of nostalgic comfort gaming for me. It truly captures how magical the DS era was at first and just how much a simple touch screen would go on to change how we approach gaming interfaces
