REVIEW COMPAZ'S QUEST PC Thing: Compaz's Quest New Retro Gaming Goodness Very seldom do we have the opportunity to play a new game that is such a throwback to the games of a by gone era that it makes you feel like a kid again. This game does exactly that! At times it felt like I was playing a 16 bit era Mario style game, and others (especially boss battles) it felt like I was playing something along the lines of Kirby's Adventure. You play as Compaz, the little spaceship with the big heart whose planet was destroyed tragically. Now Compaz and his friend Terra take part in an amazing journey to discover what exactly happened to their planet. Six amazing worlds full of levels to explore have you jumping on the moon, traveling into a bees' nest and diving to the depths of the ocean. GAME INFO: Format: PC Developer: Ergo Productions Price: Name Your Price Release Date: Out Now No. Players: 1 DOWNLOAD: http://ergoproductions. itch.io/thing "A THROWBACK TO A BY GONE ERA THAT ...MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE A KID AGAIN" Below: Watch out for the bees! Along the way there are all kinds of enemies you must battle. To aid you in this battle you collect various powerups and weapons. Our favorite was the Indiana Jones styled whip that Compaz uses to grab enemies and other items. This game is fantastic and certainly worth your time. As the levels progress they become very difficult and require expert retro gaming skills to navigate sucessfully. Above: World Map Below: Fun 16bit styled art is throughout the game Our only complaint was that we had a little difficulty initially figuring out controls, but if you look at the attached readme file it will explain all you need to know. RATING 90% Fantastic! Worth hours of gameplay classic console | 33
