Smartball for SNES
Review #501
Smartball
Back to basics
Gameplay
You're a blob that slides around on the floor. The gimmick is that you can stick to the walls or ceiling by holding the run button.
Jump, run, and throw buttons (limited ammo). Attack by pressing down to squish your body, slightly extending it to the sides, or holding up to extend upward.
Easy to read hud
Mario style gameplay
Very simple and easy yo understand mechanics
Rather slow gameplay
There are so many awful platformers on the SNES that playing one that's marginally enjoyable is a real treat, even if there's nothing particularly special about it.
Level Design
The levels are varied and take full advantage of Jerry's one and only skill. They also have personality between them and don't all feel same-y.
Theme
You're a blob. Get off the couch dude
Art Style
Extremely simple NES++ graphics. But a bright, cheerful world.
Audio
Some nice tunes, although they are extremely repetitive. Level 2's foreboding song is annoying but the rest are cheerful and fit the mood of the game perfectly.
