Gameplay

Yet another escort mission game with an unreasonable timer and horrible controls.
He might be a cheetah or whatever but his controls are squirrelly.
The objective is to collect four abilities and use them to advance your pachyderm pal to the end of the stage.
The abilities are difficult to execute, like creating a set of stairs. You have to position your character just right which is easier said than done with the horrible controls.
The camera keeps your sprite centered in the screen which is nauseating when jumping and moving around.

0 / 5

Level Design

Baffling puzzles with zero hints to teach you what to do. Trial and error might work eventually but time will run out long before you figure out out. So the only way to win is with memorization and perfect execution. No thanks

Theme

No idea who these characters are but it's obviously a licensed title. It's an obvious Dumbo rip-off but I don't know why.

2 / 5

Art Style

Sprites look nice, although the main character is a notable exception, oddly enough.
Everything else is colorful but drab

Bad music
