What we thought

Chris

"This is a great little game and is a good time waster. Graphically its a really cutesy game, really nice and really colourful. Musically it was nice, and it also controls very well as its very responsive. I also really like 2-player games in general, especially when you're given the opportunity to screw around with the other player, which happily Qwak provides in spades. Unfortunately the presentation is pretty much nonexistent here, I can forgive that to an extent as its a budget game, but not so much the lack of an ending so I can't give it the full score."

4/5

"I think this is quite a nice little game, yeah the game play is kind of simple but its fairly addictive and there are some elements involved here and there like having to keep track of your egg stock and the different point multipliers, as well as the random factors of the levels that do add a little to the game's depth. Graphically its a nice and colourful game and the music is fine too. In general I just think this is a likeable game, I feel like it should probably have had an ending, with the endless mode being its own "score attack" mode but given that the game was a budget release I think the lack of an ending can be forgiven."

4/5
