12 For 12 Challenge 2026
Description
Saw an image doing the rounds inviting twelve friends to pick twelve games for you to finish over twelve months, and thought it would be a fun thing to do in the coming year, so invited friends to submit picks. This is the oddball collection of games I've ended up with to get through next year.

Fantastic game, and a contender for the best I've played on GBA. Feels a lot like some of Treasure's titles in its wacky, colourful world and focus on slowly teasing more and more complexities out of a seemingly simple set of mechanics. The bosses are fun and creative, the Pokemon-esque soundtrack is excellent, and the pixel art is terrific, with the main character especially having some absolutely adorable animations that are full of personality. I thought the underwater and flight sections weren't quite as good, as movement can feel a little bit slow and clunky in both. But they're fairly short, and I suppose they do add a bit of variety and help the game to stay fresh. Either way, I loved this a whole bunch. Game Freak should really make non-Pokemon titles more often!
