Way back in the day (well, '96 or so), I bought a horrible, quirky little game called "Mischief Makers" for the N64. It was really, really horrible. Just recently, I decided to give the makers of that game, Treasure, another chance but purchasing "Stretch Panic". Through the years, I have become quite fond of quirky little Japanese games such as "Incredible Crisis" and the like. Like it's predecessor, "Stretch Panic" is trippy and weird, but once you get used to the controls, it's actually quite fun. But patience is definitely required because the controls are difficult to learn and even harder to master. Once you get past that part, "Stretch Panic" is definitely a different type of platform game.
