Although this is an amusing diversion for a short while, there is not much to recommend this game. This game has two negatives going against it which make this game not much more than a short time novelty. The game consists of only 4 stages, and each stage is incredibly difficult. Within that are two options, “Default”, which makes use of the Y, X, and A buttons, and “One Button” which reduces all actions to a single button, thus making the game much, much easier. However, there is an option a few layers into the main menus called “Key Config”. All actions will take place as her foot hits the ground. If you have trouble with the timing, time the movements to each of Kerorican’s steps. Furthermore, figuring out the timing might take you a bit, though once you learn the visual clues, this becomes less of an issue.

The space cab took me to the backyard of a house full of bamboo thickets, a strange and strange cave, a big cave, I really wanted to see the inside.

Although there is a “How to play” option from the main menu, with the exception of the brief intro, there is no way to know that the button you are pressing is in fact correct to dodge a specific obstacle until you try it. A cab happened to be passing by, and I came back from the moon, yay, Mojibri, paid the money, and the driver was a silver fox. This is why all text in the game is oblique.Īssuming you are playing with the default controls, your primary hurdle will be figuring out the controls. This game is played with the WonderSwan Color held diagonally, the only game on the system to do so.
By successfully clearing strings of obstacles, Kerorican’s combo count increases and this can result in a reward to the player of a crown that acts to skip the player over obstacles. Kerorican must jump, duck, kick aside, or otherwise dodge these obstacles to progress and as she does so, the actions she takes add notes to the song such that the player’s actions results in a generative melody. As you continue walking, the number of enemies and obstacles increase. The game has you, Kerorican (female astronaut with a frog helmet), walk along random streets to a hybrid of techno music and jazz. The game is heavily influenced by the likes of the PS1 game, “Vib-Ribbon”, an earlier game developed by the same studio. Featured in the exhibition was his ground-breaking game The 39 Steps.Rhyme Rider Kerorican ( ライムライダー・ケロリカン) is a Japan-only rhythm game for the Wonderswan Color handheld console. Glasgow-based game designer Simon Meek, who was featured in The List's top 100 Scots to watch and Canongate's Future 40 Scottish storytellers, brings storytelling to his game development work. Their Scottish BAFTA award-winning game Bad Hotel (2012) was also available in the exhibition. Just like in Vib-Ribbon, Vibri must hit the correct button at the appropriate time to clear the obstacle.
For this third Bonfire Night special that has nothing to do with Bonfire Night, Caddicarus looks at a game about a wireframe rabbit that does loop-de-loops around a never-ending white line until she turns into a frog because she jumped through a spiky line instead of rolling through it.
