“I really cannot stand the flash effect... I'd like to pick this back if there exists any option to turn off all these eyes hurting effects this game deserves a photosensitive warning, just do not play if you also feel uncomfortable for this”

“Another indie game where the devs care about tedious textboxes but don't care about gameplay, feel, action, legibility of level design, or sound. And the writing in Narita Boy is particularly bland and self-absorbed. Great aesthetics…”
