Critter Crunch was inspired by classic puzzle games like Magical Drop and AstroPop, except Critter Crunch has you controlling Biggs, a furry little creature that lives on Krunchatoa. And as the food chain goes, the goal is to survive and grow, while taking care of his young named Smalls. Basically there are too many animals in Krunchatoa’s ecosystem and Biggs needs to take care of this overpopulation. There’s only one catch, Biggs doesn’t actually eat the other animals on Krunchatoa, Biggs enjoys the jewels that are dropped once the other creatures explode from overeating.
So lets begin with the controls, this is just about the simplest game I have ever come across on a next-gen system. You literally have four buttons used in the game play of Critter Crunch and two of them are the d-pad arrows left and right. If youre looking for a game that literally anyone can pick up and play, this has got to be it. Despite the fact that the game itself takes a little time to get the hang of, at least you dont have to worry about trying to remember which button does what.

Secondly, were going to discuss the graphics. Overall, for a PSN game thats not meant to have the biggest and best graphics being as its more of a Mario style 2D game, Critter Crunches graphics are, well, as youd expect. It has that classic arcade look to go along with the classic feel and the two flow together almost flawlessly to make a classic looking, easy to pick up and play, game for anyone who needs some entertainment.
The object of the game, as I said before, is to basically feed the smaller creatures to the medium creatures and the medium creatures to the large creatures in the most efficient way possible, by making large combos and using special creatures to make the combos even larger and to last longer, which in turn gives you a bigger gem when they explode. Thats pretty much the entire concept of Critter Crunch in a nutshell, but as you get more experienced youre eyes become trained to put together bigger better combos in the least amount of time and moves possible as you race against the clock or against a competitor!
Not only is there multiple single player modes to choose from, but there are almost just as many multiplayer game types that you receive access to with the purchase of Critter Crunch! So if you get bored, or just need a break from the strenuous single player modes, you can hop online and VS a friend or just a random player who you get matched with to kill some time!
Overall, Critter Crunch is a very solid game and deserves a purchase if youve ever had fun playing a puzzle game. I personally didnt really get too big into the arcade type games, but I found Critter Crunch to be some good fun, even though Im by no means good at it. So if youre wondering about the purchase of this game, I would say go ahead and pick it up, but if you just absolutely hate puzzle games, then Critter Crunch probably isnt for you.
