You must lead him through various worlds full of obstacles to retrieve his stolen goldfish called Flipper. Get ready for a 3-D puzzle platform game set in four different worlds with five levels each. The game features beautiful pixel-art backdrops, cheerful cartoon characters and catchy music. The voxel engine technology allows you to change the environment with some cool power-ups. You can pick up power-ups that let you blast holes in the environment while other power-ups restore it or build platforms. It's up to you to use the limited amount of power-ups wisely to complete each level. Flipper is a fun and challenging puzzle game that is suited for all ages. [Nintendo]… Expand

    Although limited in scope, Flipper executes its few ideas with great panache and bags of charm. [July 2010, p.77]

    A classic tale of the bond between boy and his pet, Flipper is a DSiWare puzzler that exudes a unique charm.

    Personality and charm go a long way in digital download releases and luckily, Flipper has ample helpings of both.

    Top marks for effort, but Art Style: KuBos does isometric platforming better. [July 2010, p.94]

    With its distinct Voxel 3D visual style and some engaging puzzles, there's a core of good game struggling to get out here, but one that is ultimately thwarted by the fiddly controls.

    It's the cutest game we've seen in a while, but not nearly as good as it looks. [July 2010, p.105]
