Gameplay
Kersploosh! is a unique game based on the premise of what an object might see when it is thrown down a well. The goal of the game is to steer your chosen object to the bottom of the well in as fast a time as possible without it breaking. Players can unlock various objects to throw down the well, including stones, iron balls, jewels, watermelons, plates and matryoshka dolls, each with varying speed and durability. On the way down, players use the Circle Pad to steer their object in order to avoid obstacles such as wooden planks, shutters, canons and homing cookies. Passing through giant donuts gives the object a burst of speed whilst popping balloons can recover health. There are ten wells with their own high score tables, with players able to exchange high scores via StreetPass.
Reception
