Aryol Ugoku E Ver. 2.0

Animated jigsaw puzzles


Genre: puzzle - overhead

Publisher: Altron

Year: 1994

System: SFC


Gameplay Score: 2

Gameplay Notes:

It's a jigsaw puzzle. Pick up and place pieces with B, and rotate with A. That's the extent of the gameplay. Oh and you can hit a button to view the complete puzzle. The challenge, of course, is that the pieces are animated and oddly shaped. Also, two extra pieces exist which are duplicates of legit pieces. Placing these counterfeits cause then to explode. Super annoying to be honest. The controls work ok, for what this game is, which isn't much.


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

Every level is identical, just with a different picture. The number of pieces never changes. There's a time limit.


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

Truly bizarre. There's a story mode with the most off-the-wall, unexpected, insane story you never knew you wanted to hear. It's about a girl who believes in dragons so she wants to become an airplane pilot but is told she can't and so, as her boyfriend, you agree to rob a bank. It's told so matter-of-fact, but it reads like an early ChatGPT generated story. Truly bizarre.


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Strange artwork, with not-quite-humans wearing zoot suits, dancing in front of 1940's cars and guns and such.


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:

The music is the highlight, although it is itself kind of weird.


Overall Score: 38

Review ID: 1534
