LOL (video game)

LOL (full title: LOL: Never Party Alone!), known in Europe as Bakushow and in Japan as Archime DS (アルキメＤＳ, Arukime DS), is a party video game developed by Route24 and Skip Ltd. for the Nintendo DS and published by Skip Ltd. in Japan, Agetec in North America, and Rising Star Games in Europe. Developed by a group of five people headed by Kenichi Nishi, it is a multiplayer game implemented with a PictoChat-like interface in which a host player asks a question, requiring others to write or draw their answers on the DS touchscreen. The developers refer to LOL as a "comedy-training" game with the tagline of the game being "If you think this game is boring, you are boring." LOL received largely mixed reviews by critics upon its release.
