The other day I finished Mameda no Bakeru. I enjoyed my time with it.

It isn’t mind-blowingly amazing but it also doesn’t do anything awful either. I was surprised with how many stages were in the game. When I didn’t know how many there were, I kept feeling the game was going to end a bit sooner than it actually did. You certainly do get a lot of gameplay out of it though. It's at it's best when seeking out all the goodies in each stage. The hidden tanukis in particular were pretty well hidden since they’re disguised as stage objects and decorations. The collectibles get you to really see the entirety of each stage.

The graphics and characters are all nicely done; colorful and reads well even in handheld mode. Bakeru is expressive like when he’s about to fall off a ledge or gets burnt on something really hot. I also enjoyed the cute and silly enemies, although their variety wore thin before the game ended.

The controls did the job and felt Mario-like especially with how you can do a sideways somersault in much the same way as he. They seemed to have spent time making Bakeru move nicely. I had read from someone else that you should buy the run speed up candy from the shops because Bakeru’s default walk speed is a bit slow, like that of Blinx the Time Sweeper. Very late into the game I realized you can parry projectiles back at enemies. The game isn’t punishingly hard at all but knowing that might’ve made taking out the more guard-heavy enemies faster.

The henge powers were okay but I only really used the fishing rod and gun ones to dispatch hordes of enemies much faster. It’s fun to go ham on everything like this but it also made combat very trivial. I wish there could have been just a bit more uses for them all. OH, and it has some giant robot battling. Always fun to watch.

I would like to see more games with these characters but I don't know how well the game has been doing since it launched. :C

Been playing Mameda Bakeru since I’ve been looking forward to it for a while and I’m having a pretty good time all things considered! I discovered a creechure called an Unchiku and I do indeed adore them

They also tell you neat little facts! I did actually learn some things too. Apparently, June 1st is Milk Day, October 1st is Coffee day, and in the middle of them both, August 1st, is Café au Lait day. Definitely not something I’d think about often, but it’s always neat to learn something about culture.

Just some little dudes enjoying their time on the beach. The music in this game really does bop though. (Would have made this video longer if it didn't make the file size infinitely bigger)
