Kururin Paradise is one of those GBA games that looks simple but will absolutely wreck your nerves in the best way. You control this little spinning helicopter stick thing (don't ask me why it's shaped like that) through these ridiculously tight maze levels where one wrong twitch sends you crashing into walls. The first few stages trick you into thinking it's easy, then suddenly you're sweating over pixel-perfect rotations through moving spike traps.

What I love is how the game keeps throwing new gimmicks at you—conveyor belts, switches, enemies that mess with your rotation speed. The pastel-colored worlds make the frustration feel cute, at least. And yeah, you'll probably restart levels a dozen times, but nailing that perfect run feels so good.

It's the kind of game you play in short bursts unless you're a masochist. My advice? Don't throw your GBA after the ice world's rotating platforms.
