The Action 52 manual calls Crazy Shuffle “[an] educational puzzle game. Picture matching with many levels, game[s], and options. Tests memory and concentration skills."
Lying about having many options, games, and levels is just begging for a jab. Finding out that the game is a near impossible abortion of a shooter that takes place in a hedge maze just earns my eternal contempt.Not to mention there's nothing crazy about this, nor is there any kind of shuffling going on. Back to the closet with you dancing shoes!
I can’t even begin to explain what’s going on here. You play as a guy who has the colored hue of someone who’s been slathered in too much fake n’ bake tanning solution trapped in a maze full of spinning pinwheel guys. You run around picking up near endless extra lives while avoiding the erratic enemies and walls that kill you. Knowing how the game works takes some trial and error…if you even have the patience for it, after all, you’re sure to have gagged your way through a few of the twenty-nine other games this pixelated necronomicon by this point.
Some enemies can be killed quickly, others take a butt ton of hits. It’s the latter enemies you have to focus on if you want to advance through the six levels of hell this game has to offer you. Usually you can get away with cowering in a far off corner and shooting across the level in hopes of getting a few shots in on the gray pinwheel guys. If you’re lucky, they might even get stuck, making them easy targets. It only takes one kill to get you to the next stage, but getting that kill is where the frustration lies. Your much needed extra lives randomly spawn on the death walls, while the controls make sure to thin your numbers out in no time. Really, this isn’t even a game. It’s more like a self-induced torture session.
Now can anyone tell me if expired lye is still potent enough to put an end to my miserable life?
