This is an indie adventure game that draws its inspiration from retro classics like the Dizzy series, The Legend of Zelda, and Metroid. Players take on the role of Spud and his friend Prince Charming, who has been cursed by an evil wizard and turned into a frog. The pair set on a journey to uncover four ancient stones that have the power to banish the evil and remove the curse. Like the Dizzy games, it's a flip screen adventure in which you use items to progress (eg. use a hatchet found in a woodcutters lodge on a tree elsewhere to form a bridge over a swamp). Kind of like a point and click adventure game, without the point and click. It has powerups & abilities like Metroid, and the Zelda/Tomb Raider inspirations come in the game's four temples. It's a large fantasy game world featuring varied locales and characters with four dungeons brimming with puzzles and enemies. It has a day / night / weather system that affects characters schedules, abilities / powerups to further your progress, and a control switching mechanic (spud / frog). |
