Kaze no Klonoa (New)

Fine 2.5 dimension platform romp with gameplay kept thankfully intact from the original. Klonoa can utilise its ears to float back to earth. Its the way Klonoa inflates enemies to utilise then to bounce to higher platforms or hit switches that really makes this stand out though. They get tossed into the foreground and background making clever use of 3D without ruining the finely balanced, essentially 2D gameplay. There are also lovely effects with pulley lifts and windmills all lushly shaded. Buzzing around with the propeller unit is a joy too. Very underated, possibly down to the lead character?
