Out to Lunch

Les poissons, les poissons

Genre: arcade - n/a

Publisher: Mindscape

Year: 1993

System: SNES

Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

Play as the bad guy. Objective is to catch all the ingredients (potatoes, cheese, tomatoes, mushrooms) and drop them into a cage. Enemies run away from you and must be caught by swinging a net. The net animation is slow so timing a capture can be difficult. Enemies can be bopped to stun them, making them an easy target. Oppressive timer plus floaty controls give challenge to an otherwise very simple game.

Level Design Score: 2

Level Design Notes:

All levels are a 3-4 screen tall shaft. Kind of like a tall Bubble Bobble screen. All levels are more or less the same so there's not much to see after the first level.

Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

You're a chef arresting food.

Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:

NES quality graphics. Seriously, it could easily pass for an 8-bit game. Still, there's charm in simple graphics.

Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:

Repetitive but simple music. Pleasant sound effects

Overall Score: 54
