The 8-bit game hero Dizzy returns in a HD remake of 1991s Prince Of The Yolkfolk.
Heres Petes review of a great comeback title…
I wanted to be an egg.
As well as the puzzles, of course, theres the jumping.
Back in the 80s and 90s, Dizzy was little short of a grinning, rolling maniac.
In this remake, however, thats less of a problem.
The jumping isnt the only aspect of the gameplay thats been tweaked for the better.
If it reaches zero, you receive advice for dealing with the next part of the puzzle.
The controls have been given an overhaul for the touchscreen generation.
Other changes are less drastic.
Character dialogue has been altered to fit in more with the child-friendly fairytale theme of the game.
For example, the trolls original Oi!
Of course, the most obvious change is in the visuals;Dizzyis now in glorious HD.
The games original designer was brought back to update the designs, and the result is rather lovely.
Looking at the game now, it does finally feel like The ultimate cartoon adventure.
