Air Zonk for TurboGrafx-16
Review #7001
Air Zonk
Bonk...ers
Gameplay
Tons of weapons and familiars who follow you and fire automatically. If you power up you can combine with your familiar for some truly bizarre combos, like a Robo Cat that fires the word BOW as a vertical projectile.
Movement is fast and speed can be adjusted by pressing select.
The screen scrolls a tiny bit up and down.
Your weapons feel like they fill the screen because they have a slight homing aspect to them. It makes the game fairly easy making this an accessible shooter.
Despite the good aspects this is a fairly straightforward shooter experience
Level Design
Lovely design for enemy waves and interesting events.
The levels don't require much dexterity tho.
There difficulty levels.
Theme
Utterly bonkers. Distinct and memorable across the board.
Art Style
Wow. Impressive sprites and effects. Extensive use of parallax scrolling.
Enormous boss sprites.
A tiny bit of slowdown.
Audio
Awesome music! I was bopping along to all of them. They're kind of a mix between 8-bit NES Capcom Disney music and Legend of the Mystical Ninja. They might be an acquired taste for some.
