Ikasuze! Koi no Doki Doki Penguin Land MD

Toki Tori x Billy Hatcher x Downwell


Genre: puzzle - platform

Publisher: Sega

Year: 1992

System: MD


Gameplay Score: 4

Gameplay Notes:

The objective is to get your egg to the bottom of the screen. You can do only three things - jump, push the egg, and dig a hole. You can only dig on the space next to you so single spaces can't be used. There are special blocks like one that disappears when the eggs touches it or a wood block that can be pushed. Also bear enemies who will kill you but can be killed with a wood block. And finally the egg can fall no more than three spaces else it will break. These simple rules make for an easy to understand concept. Controls are responsive and easy to use, although one mistake and you're cooked.


Level Design Score: 4

Level Design Notes:

Clever level design really makes you think. I got 10 stages in before calling it a day but really enjoyed the challenge in each stage.


Theme Score: 4

Theme Notes:

Super cute. You're a penguin dad trying to get the egg to the wife in your little well decorated home below. I felt motivated to get baby home to momma.


Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:

Cute artwork but simple pixel art. Every stage looks more or less identical to the last.


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

One of the most annoying songs ever. Mute


Overall Score: 72

Review ID: 6031
