DESCRIPTION

In Cutie Q, players use a pair of paddles to bounce a ball into two zones of bricks with cute characters printed in them. Clearing either zone sets an equally cute critter loose on the screen, and he too must be beaned with the ball. Essentially a second remake of Toru Iwitani's Gee Bee, Cutie Q tries to hide its pinball-meets-Breakout origins by adding more bright colors and replacing bumpers and other objects on the screen with "cute" characters, smiley faces, and so on. This preoccupation with cute creatures carried on to Iwitani's next project for Namco — Pac-Man. ~ Earl Green, All Game Guide
