Players control a tiny alien -- or rather, they control the world around the tiny alien in an effort to fling it toward the exit of several dozen stages. When on the ground, the creature scampers along in a straight line and you can only make it jump by tapping it. Once in the air, though, it will grasp any of the elastic bars it encounters and clutch it tightly until you send it flying by dragging the band with the stylus and releasing, catapult style. The difficulty ramps up quickly when more complex stage layouts begin to appear and various monsters stomp around the stage.
GameKult: Glimpsed at the conference E3 2009 Konami, Wireway falls into the category of games specifically designed for the DS and its touch screen.
Because of its issues, N-Sider hesitates to recommend WireWay to all but the most hardcore of niche-game explorers. There's still fun to be had here, both in some levels where it's clear where you're going and it's just you and how complete your understanding of the physics standing in your way, as well as the aforementioned boss battles which really stand out. But the frustrations just mounted too often and too much for them to call WireWay a consistently entertaining game.
WireWay is a platform puzzle game from Konami. It is a quirky, hyper kinetic game that follows the mischievous adventure of Wiley and Refresh as they flick their way toward their goal of obtaining Elan. The game uses the DS touchpad to send Wiley flying around levels where you have to collect objects, avoid obstacles and find the finish line.
