Time Trax for SNES
Review #629
Time Trax
Time Cop starring The Fonz
Gameplay
Appears to be the same engine used in 3 Ninjas.
Infinitely spawning enemies - why do they do this?
You've got a gun with stuns enemies and kills them after many hits as well as melee attacks which deal more damage. You can duck under most enemy attacks making it easy to dispatch of them.
Short jumps but you can grab onto some ledges to shimmy along or pull yourself to a higher ledge. Kinda cool
Level Design
Mostly linear levels. Go to the right. There's a ton of reuse so there's nothing interesting or memorable but not bad overall. At least you don't have to collect X trinkets to complete a level
Theme
A poor man's Time Cop. I guess it's based on a Making comic book but I don't remember it.
Art Style
Lots of foreground layers blocking your view.
Decent use of color. Ok sprites, but not exceptional.
Your character looks like the Fonzie from Happy Days.
Audio
Decent music. It has an early 90s techno vibe. It's much quieter the sound effects which are positively awful. Your laser gun and punches sound like they're lifted from a kids game.
