My nostalgia feels.. remember playing this for hours as a kid on the original Game Boy.

Kwirk is definitely a hidden gem. I absolutely love the game. I highly recommend it for anyone on the fence about buying it.

The overlooked games are usually the hardest. This one rocks

I remember KWIRK from the Video Power cartoon that came on weekday afternoons. It only lasted one season before they cut the cartoon and turned it into a gameshow. KWIRK, Johnny Power, Tyrone from Arch -Rivals, Kuros from Wizards and Warriors, and they fought Mister Big from the game N.A.R.C.

Kwirk is one of my fav games. Kwirk, Amazing Tater, Spud's adventure, and Puzzle Boy and Puzzle Boys..all in the same series..all are awesome :)

If I looked at this game's box and saw the tomato with a green Mohawk and sunglasses and the name "Acclaim" slapped on the corner of the box I'd immediately assume it was a crappy mascot platformer with 'attitude' and avoid it, but well, looking at it in action it actually looks like it's a lot of fun! And that's coming from someone who isn't big into puzzle games! (And well, if I saw the name "Atlus" on the box, it would give me a glimmer of hope)

I am not exactly the type of guy that plays puzzle games either but for some reason I found Kwirk enjoyable. However I never officially beat the game. Made it all the way to floor 3, level 10 (or is that level 3, floor 10?) and quit. I beat every level up to that point without cheating and felt it was a great enough achievement.

What I found amazing about this game is that you can play any level you want from the beginning. Usually games make you progress from beginning to end without any other choice. More games should do that. *More power to the player!*

Kwirk is my favorite GB game. It's one of the few games that doesn't get better if you play it on the newer systems. Its just pure gameplay.

I LOVE this game! Thank you so much for reviewing it!

I've seen ads for this game in the Valiant Nintendo comics and always wondered if it was good. Glad to hear it doesn't suck.
