Kirby will eat my delicious words

The Brainy Gamer seems to be dedicating some articles to Kirby’s Epic Yarn this week. And, well… I was wrong earlier, and he is right – regardless of the “serious business status” of the game it definitely deserves scrutiny and study.  So I guess this is to say that I am wrong about it not deserving so! And I am looking forward to this series about it.

I cracked in to it again last night and now that I am further along I just have to admire the way the visuals come together and are cohesive level by level while still maintaining the yarn and cloth aesthetic.  It’s not just yarn and cloth, it’s cookies and piano keys made of yarn and cloth.  Cute, creative, and joyful.  And I guess I can stop feeling guily about liking it when there are “grown-up” games to play. 🙂

    Don’t be too hard on yourself. I’ve had those guilty moments too (playing Pokemon in public, for example), but good design is good design, no matter the genre or target audience, right?

    If you feel inclined to share your thoughts on the game as I make my way through my series of posts, I hope you’ll feel free. Thanks for reading BG. I’ll follow your work here too. 🙂
