Review

Opi must rescue his pals from the evil clutches of Zenzombie. 

It is bright, with graphics comparable to Battle Lode Runner and Bomberman ‘93. The stage designs however stick with only a handfull of different styles, which are reused throughout the game’s 60 stages, as well as the same enemies. The same two enemies.

I like the music, each type of stage gets their own matching type of music, and it is generally nice to listen to. However, the sound effects, for the most part, are a bit on the high pitched side, except of course, the common digging sound is a deeper soft sound.

After about 5 stages in, the gameplay becomes obviously lacking. It’s a common maze collector, each stage grants you 8 minutes to go out and collect all 16 treasures, the key and head for the exit. The game only becomes marginally more challenging as you progress. Also, the game will at most take a total of 2 hours to complete.

While the game is slightly addictive, it is only good for a few hours before moving onto other things. If you like this sort of maze collecting game, then it is worth it, otherwise, spend your points on something else.
