New Rainbow Islands is an action-adventure game for the Nintendo DS, released by Taito Corporation on December 29, 2005. As a remake of the classic Rainbow Islands, it retains the original core gameplay and makes full use of the DS touchscreen to deliver a brand-new gaming experience.
In the game, players control the protagonist floating on bubbles, drawing rainbows via the touchscreen to attack enemies and build paths. There are four adorable, distinct playable characters, each with unique stats like movement speed and stamina. Only two characters are available at first; players must rescue trapped companions as the story progresses.
The game keeps the original’s fresh, cute art style, and adds a wealth of new maps, monsters, and special items for richer content. Players adventure across multiple islands and 28 short levels, facing various challenges and enemies.
Overall, New Rainbow Islands is a tight, well-crafted title perfect for action-adventure game fans.
