If you're reading this review you've probably already heard some things about this game. From what I understand, yes, it IS a huge marketing maneuver by Skittles(tm). And yes, the voice acting and jokes are pretty good. And yes, the gameplay is lousy.
You play as Skye, a farm girl who is the daughter of a freedom fighter long since disappeared to fight the evil Necroth, a dark denizen of the multiverse bent on acquiring the 5 prisms and using their united power to WHO THE HECK WRITES THIS NONSENSICAL NONSENSE!?!?
Let's be straight for a moment: all this game is is jumping puzzles, weak fighting, and deaths galore. Oh, and dying sends you to the beginning of a chapter section. The witty banter and self-referential jokes are okay, but they tire quickly. Graphics are okay, music is kind of nice, but this game is obviously tossed together as cheaply as possible. Oh, and it's long as it is tedious.
If you can deal with weak gameplay, don't mind saving every 10 seconds, and are desperate for a game about skittles and making fun of itself, go ahead and try this out, it's worth a quick rental. Just be aware that you may want to smash something after slipping into a pond and dying for the hundredth time.
