Holy crap, it's Mr. DO!

I first learned of Mr. DO! from a youtuber called SpaceHamster, who dedicated a whole video to discussing the strange nature of this game. The main objective is quite simple, collect the cherries underground while avoiding creatures which are mercilessly out for clown flesh. To get enemies off your tail, you can either crush them with a falling apple (which drops shortly after digging under it), or by using Mr.DO's fantastical, miraculous, rainbow-filled Power Ball (which I always forget I have while playing). After collecting all the cherries, you are warped to another level, and repeat the cycle until you die. This game has such a fun wacky vibe, that I would feel badly giving it anything lower than 5 stars. I would recommend it if you are into cutesy NES-Arcade hybrids like Bubble Bobble and Dig Dug.
