From the review, "I beat Ikachan in one hour and nine minutes exactly. It was probably took even less than that, as after the credits rolled, I loaded my save file again, convinced there had to be some New Game+ content after beating what turned out to be the final boss. There wasn’t. This is a very short game. It’s a very charming game and I loved every minute of that hour, but once you’ve beaten it, there’s really no reason to go back."

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.
