The Munchables is like gorging yourself on grotesque amounts of Cadbury eggs when they go on sale post-Easter: once you start playing you can't seem to stop no matter how guilty you feel.

The Munchables is a Katamari-style action game, but instead of rolling around a ball of junk, you romp around as a cute creature eating a bunch of junk called Tabemon. You can play as one of three characters; one which is unlocked after you beat the game. There is the all-business orange Munchable called Chomper, Munchy the pink Jiggly Puff doppelganger, and Robo the unlockable mechanical ball of adorable. I chose Munchy since I had no clue what the hell Chomper was supposed to be aside from hard to look at. Each character has their own set of slight advantages and disadvantages. Munchy is a bit faster and her attacks last longer whereas Chomper's moves are a bit shorter and slower.
Eat and Defeat
The controls are fairly basic. You move around using the joystick on the Nunchuk and lock on with the Z-button. Your main chomp is the A-button, and if you hold A, you blast forward with your mouth wide open gobbling up everything in your path.
At the base level you are just an average bunny/dog/bear-thing, better known as a Munchy. When you eat a set amount of alien fruits and veggies you become a Pretty Munchy with pretty bangs and a more colorful tail. At your next level you become Cutey Munchy adorned with curlicues and double the previous amount of cute. Your max level transforms you into the winged Divine Munchy with a heart shaped tail of doom. As you level up you'll become a larger blob of cute in addition to the style change which enables you to get to areas that were once unattainable.
