Tapir, an enigmatic blue wizard in spotted pajamas from the Dream World, sends the player on a quest to rescue princess Rua. But things quickly become more complicated and the player soon has to rescue other characters along the way, such as Santa Claus, the king of Trump castle and the blue fairy Cocoron. Tapir can manipulate people's dreams and this ability gives Cocoron an unique twist - the player can assemble his own character by combining one of the eight available heads to one of the eight available bodies (which both include several designs to choose from, resulting in literally hundreds of combinations! ). More than a mere physical appearance, each part also defines the character's attributes, such as his health, speed, how high he can jump and so forth. Less

Preliminary: Welp I first tried playing the official release of this, assuming it's a pick up and play platformer. Nope. Definitely need an English translation :-p Very peculiar game so far. A Tapir can create dreams, so you can pick out the sprite of your hero character and uh? Start platforming in a world with hand drawn child-like drawings? Or something? enter image description here

The controls are a bit slipper and I don't like that the UI is inspired by Mega Man, not one of my preferred platformer lineages. The NES is quite dated by this late in 91, but Imma give it an earnest try cuz it's a very unique idea, some great Look, and neat Sound.

Yeahhhh unfortunately with great games like Adventure Island II and SMW already having been released, even with an amazing concept and Look, this one just can't hold up. The mechanics scream NES-era Nintendohard, and the influence seems more Mega Man than Mario and Bonk. So it goes. Very unique game worth a try by platforming fans tho!
