Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble 2000

Is it still worth playing?

You steer Kirby by tilting the Game Boy Color itself, because the cartridge has an accelerometer inside, in this 2000 action puzzle game. Tilt the handheld the way you want him to roll, and jerk it quickly toward you to fling him into the air. The goal is to guide him to the end of each level before the timer runs out while collecting the stars scattered around. Clocks add ten seconds, an alarm sounds when under 50 seconds remain, and the music speeds up. You start with five lives and lose one from enemy or hazard damage, a fall, quicksand or water, or running out of time. Taking each level's red star unlocks bonus worlds with slightly harder versions and less time. The cartridge has its own shape and a translucent pink color. Because the handheld itself is the controller, every level is still played with your hands as much as your thumbs.
