RotAKoko<\/a><\/strong> <\/strong>by Rakugaki-Otoko is a real labour of love \u2013 a two year <\/em>labour of love that’s emerged as a rotaty maze game that’s a shootery spin (hoho) on the Super Nintendo’s On The Ball \/ Cameltry<\/a>, except its got cuteness and joy oozing out of its pores, and a brilliantly bewildering intro.
