If you end up playing this expecting the same sort of experience as the mainline games, you will probably be disappointed. For what it is, a scaled down puzzle platformer with some inventive and well executed gimmicks, it's perfectly fine though and succeeds in being a fun diversion for fans of Klonoa.

The graphics and music are probably the worst part, but they're not awful either. The soundtrack is just sort of barebones and doesn't rise above being serviceable. The graphics are nice and colorful, but don't do anything too impressive.

The actual gameplay usually involves a new gimmick being introduced with each level, and they really get inventive with each one, and when they start to mix together, the mechanics can be pretty engaging.

The story and characters take a bit of a backseat, which is sad for a Klonoa game, but the plot still resolves in a nice enough way.

So all in all, not a horrid experience and worthwhile investment if you're into the series and want to see how it translates to a handheld console.
