Rapid Review

This is a traditional platform game that follows the safe formula of running around levels collecting power ups and items, killing baddies and performing tricky jumps from platforms.

The characters look cute and simple with the player controlling either Lay the bounty hunter or Cress the priestess, while the enemies appear in the form of fluffy birds and appealing little animals.

Although fundamentally set in 2D, the backgrounds are all true 3D but while colorful, are a little ugly and empty. Most of the gameplay involves moving from one floating splash of color to another while avoiding strange looking creatures.

Comment

I must admit that I prefer Pandemonium or Crash Bandicoot as a next generation platform for the Playstation. This tries to be a Mario but just doesn't quite make it. Cute though.
