Bplus has succeeded in creating a very fun little action-platformer with Niki – Rock ‘n’ Ball. The simplicity of the game and its fun gameplay structure makes it perfect for a quick play now and again, despite the unforgiving learning curve after the first few worlds.
-
Niki is undeniably a ball, but this platformer does not rock.
-
The price of Niki: Rock and Ball is small, but so is the game's fun factor and challenge. I appreciate the attempt to recreate the feel and simple quick-shot action of classics like Bubble Bobble, but what the team created on the Wii just doesn't stack up to its inspiration.
-
The game is partially broken, uninspired, and most important of all, boring.
-
Nintendo GamerA blatant rip-off that, if anything, isn't derivative enough, stealing only the surface ideas from LocoRoco, but ignoring the invention that lies underneath. [Mar 2009, p.73]
