Kirby's Epic Yarn

Des was kind enough to pick up Kirby's Epic Yarn for me while I was at work. She's a peach.

I've breezed through the first few levels, and it's really enjoyable so far. I'm digging the art style and the simple music and the overall feel of the game. The controls are tight and responsive. It's not like other Kirby games where he devours enemies to gain their powers. Instead, he uses his yarn-arm as a whip to unravel enemies and pull switches and zippers and such. He can also carry enemies to toss as projectiles into other enemies. At first, I thought they'd make it like Klonoa: using enemies to toss downward when you're mid-air to gain more altitude, as a sort of double-jump. But alas, they did not.

I can't wait to try out the co-op. I know Wes will be down, but he's not here and I could not convince Des to join me. I'm sure she will at some point, but she's working on her Halloween costume. She's using brown shoe polish to distress he angel costume in order to make it into a fallen angel costume. I asked her to save me some of the shoe polish so I could go as a black person. She smacked me for being racist and laughed. That's why I love her.

After I post this, I'll be working on editing Wes's Super Scribblenauts review. That'll be up on the site late tonight.

UPDATE:

The Super Scribblenauts review is now on the site.
