Xia-Xia

About

Xia-Xia sends you guiding a squad of goofy hermit crabs through five wacky worlds packed with 25 levels. Each level tasks you with completing missions while hunting for hidden starfish to unlock progress. The carnival-themed gameplay mixes exploration with light platforming as you navigate colorful environments. Along the way you collect shells and track down scattered friends adding layers of optional challenges to the main quest. The game stands out for its sheer volume of collectibles including 30 shells and 60 friends spread across every corner. The hidden starfish puzzle in each world creates a satisfying sense of discovery without feeling forced. While the 2012 release date shows its age the DS touch controls still work smoothly for the game's simple mechanics. A straightforward adventure that keeps things lighthearted for players of all skill levels.
