Snow White in Happily Ever After
A fair taleGenre: action - platform
Publisher: Amer Sftwrk
Year: 1994
System: SNES
Gameplay Score: 2
Gameplay Notes:
Jump, run, and throw buttons. Run button also makes you jump higher. Fairly responsive controls. Lots of precision platforming but it's manageable because of the tight controls. Hop or hit enemies with a thrown apple that takes a weird arching path making it hard to use effectively on moving targets. Almost no challenge on the lowest difficult levels. It's almost as if the game were made for children. One second thought, the second level is a cloud world filled with tiny platforms that are super hard to traverse or even see. Ok this game is tough. Kaizo blocks everywhere! What the heck Stage select lets you go wherever you'd like.
Level Design Score: 3
Level Design Notes:
Collectathon of the highest order. Can't move without constantly picking up fruit and coins. Must collect a bunch of stuff before it lets you complete a level. Levels would be extremely short if you could ignore all the collecting.
Theme Score: 1
Theme Notes:
It's named Snow White but by default you play as some generic robed figure called the Shadow Man. Not the voodoo dude from the N64 game. You have to go to the options to select Snow White. this game is too hard for the intended audience.
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
Pretty nice overall. Has a Magical Quest feel to the visuals.
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
The music is ok but very repetitive. The sound effect would be nice if they didn't play every single time you collect something.
Overall Score: 46
