Preliminary: I was quickly going to write this off cuz it's rudimentary Speccy style (I'm playing the C64 version). The music is good but just not feeling the C64 vibe rn as I get into the 90s. Could also because I'm starting to get sick it seems :( (always seem to be sick in winter). Either way, it surprised me …

Preliminary: I was quickly going to write this off cuz it's rudimentary Speccy style (I'm playing the C64 version). The music is good but just not feeling the C64 vibe rn as I get into the 90s. Could also because I'm starting to get sick it seems :( (always seem to be sick in winter). Either way, it surprised me because it's that adventure game style thing where I solved the first room puzzle just picking up items and dropping/using them. Neat enough. Could be worth playing through. Plus it was fun just sort of jumping along, Dizzy has a fun jump.

Day 2

I'm surprised that I'm still playing this, I've gotten 5 cherries. The platforming and collision masks are frankly awful, but I do like roll-jumping around and collecting items and solving puzzles. The music is pretty good too. But then again, I can do all that in some higher quality console games from this same time hmmm

Welp nope the way the damage works (classic Speccy style, I can't deny, but just doesn't seem right in late 91) and the bad collision masks finally pushed me over the edge after the 6th Cherry. Good game for the classic Speccy formula tho!
