Tricky Kick is the sort of game that's never going to make any kind of top ten lists, but it's the sort of game with which it's easy to lose an afternoon. A single-screen puzzle game, Tricky Kick tasks you with completing dozens of stages by identifying matching pairs of themed objects and positioning so that you can kick them into each other, causing them to disappear. Your goal is to clear out each screen in order to move onto the next until you've cleared all stages.
In attempt to add some personality to the game, it is structured into groups of ten levels, each starring a different character and theme, ranging from an adventuring elf to a sentai super hero to a girl trying to walk home on bad streets, each with unique backgrounds and items to remove. Clearing each set of ten awards you with a password to unlock another ten alternate stages of that theme, making for a total of 120 stages. You can pick your character when you turn the game on, allowing you to approach the game in any order you'd like, though those characters' stages must be played in order. Each does have his or her own self-contained story and ending, which, while functionally superfluous, still helps build a sense of completion for each set, and the changing scenery really helps the game feel less stale.
The graphics and sound for Tricky Kick aren't anything special, but it's clear what everything is supposed to be, and it offers more variety than something similar like Boxy Boy or Kwirk. If you have an affinity for this sort of single-screen block moving, it's a solid play, and doubly effective as a portable game on Turbo Express.
