    Another good way to play the psychedelic adventures of Watracio Walpurgis. A really fluid version of an episodic title that wins as its next parts are added, because a single chapter still knows little. In portable mode, it's the best way to play this game.

    An odd trip down memory lane. It contains elements of classic titles presented in a way that makes sense within the genre. It is currently $5.99 USD in the Nintendo eShop. If you are looking for a goofy couple of hours of gameplay, it is hard to find anything like it.

    It's not hard to imagine how this game came to be: some guy took a few too many mushrooms and decided to make a game. He didn't try to do it right–he did it exactly the way he liked it. Baobabs Mausoleum is a honest, unique game where nothing is normal, from the protagonist (an FBI agent who also appears to be an eggplant) to the setting (a city that can only be visited once per year in your nightmares).

    I considered giving Baobabs Mausoleum a 5, because of the simplistic gameplay and the extremely frustrating 8th act, where the messy graphics really get in the way of playability. Yet, I couldn't stop myself from bumping up its score. This game is worth playing for the same reason that some Z-movies are worth watching: because it's bad but fun, and you can see how much fun its author was having while building it.    … Full Review »
