Troddlers for SNES
Review #647
Troddlers
Lemmings meets Lode Runner
Gameplay
Completing a level is satisfying, like other games in this genre, but the controls are not good. In fact, the controls remind me of Lode Runner...and I hate Lode Runner.
Your character can only jump up one tile so the main challenge of the game isn't solving the puzzle - it's platforming such that you can place the pieces to solve the puzzle. As a result it's quite frustrating.
Placing a tile is also a chore. You have to hold down on the B button, move a cursor to one of the three tiles in front of you, and let go while holding the cursor there. It feels imprecise and tiring.
Level Design
Every level feels more or less the same - build a stairstep ladder up or down to the exit. I got bored more quickly that I did with Lemmings or Push Over.
Theme
Looks and feels like a Lemmings copycat, which makes you wish you were playing Lemmings instead.
Art Style
Like other games in this genre the simple graphics do the job. However, everything uses very dark colors which gives the game a dreary feeling.
Audio
Decent music which is upbeat and cheery. This conflicts with the dreary graphics. Minimal sounds
