Kuru Kuru Kuruin is a Game Boy Advance launch title that we North Americans didn't receive until it was released as part of the GBA Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.

I like the concept of using a Japanese fidget toy and converting it into a puzzle game based on precision, and I think they executed it quite well. The levels are solid and passing through tight corridors without taking any damage can be satisfying. My main issue with the game is the difficulty curve as the later levels can be quite annoying to complete thanks to obstacles such as spike balls and cannonballs. I didn’t bother getting perfects in all the levels to unlock the extra world because of my frustration. If I had given a little more time to do this, I could've pulled it off, but I got my fulfillment with the Adventure Mode and Challenge Mode

Kuru Kuru Kuruin is an obscure GBA game that I enjoyed. Despite my frustration with the later half of the game, I recommend this to people who have the Expansion Pack or have an emulator installed like mGBA.
