Gameplay

Play centers on Shinji working through 48 stylus controlled minigames, one per in game week. The levels split into three formats: Touch Adventure segments play out like point and click scenes, Touch Action segments are short side scrolling challenges, and Touch Puzzle segments have the player sliding or rearranging objects on the touch screen to clear each stage.

Story / Setting

The game follows the gag manga and web anime Petit Eva: Evangelion@School, a super deformed comedy take on Neon Genesis Evangelion set at a school where Shinji, Asuka, Rei and their classmates deal with everyday chibi antics instead of Angel attacks. The tone stays close to that lighthearted spin off rather than the main series' drama.

Development and Release

Bandai Namco Games published the title for Nintendo DS in Japan on March 20, 2008. It holds a notable place in franchise history as the first official appearance of Mari Makinami Illustrious, who is briefly shown and named in a cutscene here before her proper debut in the Rebuild of Evangelion films. An unofficial English fan translation patch followed much later, on May 4, 2021.
