Destructoid: "Ikachan is a marvelous introduction to a much larger, more ambitious game. But that's all it is: an introduction. If you are willing to accept that, you'll happily enjoy the short time you spend in its watery world."
The charming 3DS precursor to Cave Story is revisited by Rice Digital. Discover where you can play the original for free, and just why this 'platformer' is worth your attention.
Cubed3: "Ikachan is a wonderfully crafted game and a fitting homage to the NES era of gaming and to Metroid-esque game design. The art and sound design are wonderful. The gameplay is responsive and fun. The only question is whether one hour of gameplay is enough to justify the asking price. For many the answer will be yes."
Ikachan is a game that Pixel made before Cave Story. It’s been ported to the 3DS. In it you are an adorable squid that swims around and eats fish. They will take your $5 now.
