Trivia
This is another game that I am really proud of. I did put a lot of effort and time to have a polished, complete and fun game.
From a gameplay point of view, I did my best so that the core mechanics are easy enough to guess without the need to read the manual or spoil yourself with the map.
There is 4 core mechanics which are important to finish the game:
- Fake walls: go through the “lighter” colored walls, they are fake!
- “Flipswitch” tile (in the portal puzzled toom): switch them all on to move to create the portal
- Hookshot: grab certain objects to get pulled towards them
- Gun: shoot the status to destroy them
If you have seen the previous games, you will realise that it mixes some concepts seen in previous games:
- Smiley Adventure for its title and the concept of fake walls
- Smiley Adventure for the introduction (it is the same pictures)
- Zelda 3 for the idea of shooting projectiles, hookshot mechanics and adventure feel
Maybe we can consider this game as my revenge over my frustrations of having abandoned this games ? After all, I did programmed for about 1 year at this point, I could prove myself that I did learn a lot since the beginning.
