Cinnamon is a little, floppy-eared pup who defies the passage of time and stays the same age forever. Generations from now, Cinnamon and his little friends Cappuccino, Chiffon, Expresso, Milk, and Mocha will never age and will always appeal to new gangs of children around the world. Just like all of Sanrio's marquee beasts, age is inconsequential and immortality has been granted to each and every one of them. Imagine Hello Kitty requiring a walking cane 50 years from now or Badtz Maru swigging whiskey in an old age home. Not going to happen. In Imagineer's latest licensing venture with Sanrio, Cinnamon finds itself in a pastel colored game world where flowery colors and soft hues are rampant. Fly around the game world and engage in platform action where Cinnamon dive-bombs, float-flies, and collects candy, confections, and delicious-looking pastries in order to proceed further. Five levels make up the game but the objective is always the same: grabbing all the eats and collecting them with fury. A simple enemy such as a bird or a butterfly threatens Cinnamon's health in the first few levels. To deter their efforts, potted plants may be pushed and dropped upon them to stun them for a few seconds while Cinn scoots to safety. Targeted at a younger set, we nevertheless found ourselves enamored with Cinnamon's latest. The overly cheerful music however got grating after 2 seconds. View the back cover.
