"Excuse Me?"

Intro- Wow, you really are ignorant when you are young. I Bought this game when I was seven years old, and when I was going back through my SNES collection when I found this. What was I thinking!

Graphics (9/10)- On a game as simple as this, you can't screw up. The colors are great, bright and go well, you won't have any issues telling colored ball from colored ball. Although one major problem I had with this title was that when you were close to losing, colors would start flashing different colors, inducing a seizure.

Sound (8/10)- Another Strong point. Although the music can be terribly repetitive, the effects are really good. I mean it isn't that hard to pull of a simple missle going off.

Gameplay (1/10)- It shouldn't even get this, but the controls saved it from a zero. That's not even fair since the only controls are moving your ship and pressing A. The premise of the game is to shoot colored blocks that come from the sides of the screen in your ship (I think that's what it is?). You progress through 99 levels, but the problem is, not only the insane difficulty, but it gets boring around level 5! I couldn't understand how anybody could bring themselves through that kind of torture. There are 2 different modes that aren't really all that different, except in one you keep your color from the last stage, the games most original idea.

Replay (-1/10)- Even if you manage to finish through this game, I don't imagine seeing anyone wanting to play it ever again. I mean 99 levels of this is a lot to ask for from a super person, much less a human being. I would commend you for getting up to press the power button, and I would idolize you for making it past the main menu, the I would think you were juicing up if you could get to level five.

The D-Factor (What makes this game different?)- Um… Check please? I mean it's not what you'd see in an everyday puzzle game, but come on.

Originality (4/10)- Although this is sort of a different kind of puzzle game, it scored so low because the original ideas will bore you.

Buy, Rent, or Vomit- Wouldn't buy it if I was on a crack binge, high, drunk, and tripping up on acid. Oh, that's not a choice, vomit then.

Score (2/10)

Final Thought- Looks and sounds good, but it just can't hold your attention, and all the flashing colors will either blind you or give you a seizure.
