    Ikachan is disturbingly short, but the winning game design and charm might make the $4.99 download worth your time, especially if you’re a fan of Cave Story or Nicalis’ other work. If you’re looking for a really lengthy in-depth experience, look elsewhere, but if you want to spend an hour or so underwater among fish and squid alongside some pleasant music, check out Ikachan immediately.

    Ikachan remains quite barren. Sure, the map has been slighlty rearranged from the PC original, there are a couple of new enemies, mild stereoscopic 3D has been added, and super talented Nicalis artist Lindsay Collins contributed a couple of lovely pieces of art, but on the whole, the experience is not much improved.

    Ikachan is not a bad game, but there's very little to recommend it apart from its pedigree and connection to Cave Story. There's not much to explore, no real challenge, and no reason whatsoever to come back.

    About the game

    Trailers & Screenshots:

    Near the bottom of an enormous abyss, there's only one way out. Swim in a dark world under attack by frequent earthquakes and famine. This vast undersea kingdom is filled with both dangerous and hamless denizens. Its fearful inhabitants are led by a reluctant fish who has no answer to the impending disasters.

     

    Take to the sea and help your new friends flee their home and find a new one. Their fate rests with you, Ikachan. You must help them find a way out before it's too late. Use whatever tools you can and try to escape. Swim, Ikachan, swim!

    Developer: Nicalis
