Sure, this game is exactly what you'd picture in your head when you read the phrase "a GBA port of Zapper: One Wicked Cricket" but something about a handheld game imitating the same one-hit-kill and save point starvation gameplay as its console predecessor feels bad. This is supposed to be the version of the game that you take on a car ride to Nana's house and it wants you do these grueling yet boring 30 minute maze gauntlets in one go while the soundtrack is digitally farting into your ear.

played this on stream for friends as a bit and understood why i never finished it as a kid. it's just brutal dude. i love to deal with two-frame windows to get past extremely confusing hitboxes. it gets an extra 0.5 stars for having a brightness adjustment slider so you don't have to deal with early GBA washed-out colors
