    PRAISE FROM THE PRESS
    ChuChu Rocket! was a total blast when I had a chance to play it today, and it makes me sad that I never tried out this title almost a decade ago. It seems like a perfect fit for the iPhone, with all of the original levels reworked to be touch screen friendly – touchArcade.com

    Gathering up four friends for a manic game of Chu Chu Rocket is a cherished gaming memory. The version of Chu Chu Rocket I was able to play today at SEGA's offices pretty much matched up with those memories – IGN.com

    Chu Chu Rocket will command attention by virtue of being different from the steady string match-three puzzlers and its multiplayer push. Even though it can't claim innovation as a port of an older title, there's still a sense of freshness and certainly an appeal about this game of cat and mouse. – PocketGamer.com

    There's a reason ChuChu Rocket is a classic, and this port shows why.

    Anyone who's never played ChuChu Rocket should feel obligated to give this version a try; it's a devastatingly clever (and crushingly difficult) puzzle game that feels like it was always meant to be on iPad.

    Whether alone or with friends, Chu Chu Rocket retains the magic of the original and stamps its mark firmly on the iPhone puzzle scene.

    Despite the competition though, this ten-year-old game shows no signs of fatigue, and still feels fresh to this day. The game promises more levels and features through updates, which can only improve the game… especially for seasoned ChuChu-veterans like myself.

    I am extremely happy to have Chu Chu Rocket back and in front of a potentially new audience on the iDevices.

    Poorly upscaled visuals and a price wholly out-of-step with what you'd expect.

    Never really takes of the ground, but should kill a couple of hours.
