GAMINGtruth's Managing Editor dives into this Nintendo 3DS eShop title.
"The story of this tiny squid delivers a short story, but it’s almost too short. We get little development and discovery of just who our main character is. There isn’t much in terms of length, leaving a feeling of wanting more. I wouldn't mind continuing on this journey for a full level of completion."
The charming 3DS precursor to Cave Story is revisited by Rice Digital. Discover where you can play the original for free, and just why this 'platformer' is worth your attention.
Cubed3: "Ikachan is a wonderfully crafted game and a fitting homage to the NES era of gaming and to Metroid-esque game design. The art and sound design are wonderful. The gameplay is responsive and fun. The only question is whether one hour of gameplay is enough to justify the asking price. For many the answer will be yes."
Ikachan is a game that Pixel made before Cave Story. It’s been ported to the 3DS. In it you are an adorable squid that swims around and eats fish. They will take your $5 now.
