Personal review

"Tensai Bakabon" is a game based on an older rather wacky manga/anime series. The game itself is equally crazy. The player controls Papa Bakabon on his search for his vanished child. The game is essentially an adventure game mixed with platform scenes (without enemies though). The characters in this game are all very crazy. Later in the game you will find out that evil aliens are behind everything and you have to fly a UFO in a typical shmup sequence. I somehow enjoyed the game and its characters.
