My first Kirby game. It definitely takes some time to get used to the mechanics and weird-ass key mapping, as opposed to "normal" platformers. There isn't all that much depth to it - most of the levels are pretty forgettable, some abilities are completely unbalanced (most notably the hammer) and aside from a couple of bosses the game is so easy you pretty much play it on autopilot.

But there are so many different ideas put together here, so much attention to detail, that the game keeps surprising you up until the very end. And most importantly it's also very fun. In a way, this is more or less what I imagine Mario Wonder to be - the gameplay is pretty much what you would expect, nothing groundbraking. But the game still manages to keep you hooked because it actually feels like it was made with fresh ideas and love (regardless of whether it was actually the case here).
