Flicky

Sega's entry in a trendy wave of cute clumsy platformers a la (non-Super) Mario Bros and Mappy. There's a lot of cleverness to how herding the chicks works, actually, and I keep wanting to like this more than I do. But with the scrolling loop on what are essentially single-screen levels, the cat who sometimes just get in the way without enough warning, and above all, a palette that makes me feel like I've gone color blind, it keeps confusing things and holding itself back somehow.
