NES Week: Day #4

When I was doing this NES week the one game I was slightly looking forward to playing was Clu Clu land. Surprisingly I actually wanted to give it a try and see what the big deal about it was after hearing so much from it. I almost wanted to see what you actually did in the game and if it was any good.

Was I disappointed? For once…I sadly was

So what do you do in Clu Clu land anyway? Well, you play as a red blob who has to spin around and find gems which will make some sort of shape. You do this whilst avoiding these spikes. In a way, imagine Clu Clu land like picross but nothing like picross. The controls really get on my nerves and I just don’t like it. The spikes really really get on my nerves as they seem to come at you at the exact wrong moment and to be perfectly honest with you it’s just not really that great of a game. Sure it has some interesting shapes to make but it’s still really not that interesting and only seems to get on my nerves more then it does give me any form of fun.

Interesting shapes, red blob, I fucking hate spikes
