Another Spongebob game is off the bucket list. This time it's Creature from the Krusty Krab, for GBA.
As far as Wayforward's Spongebob games go, this is one of the weaker ones. Despite the attempt to have varied gameplay, the levels either feel underwhelming or frustrating.
Just beaten Klonoa: Empire of Dreams
Gotta say, I don't recall my playtime being this smooth with Klonoa 2 GBA. While I enjoyed that game enough, the puzzles seemed too much for me to want to revisit
Yet, I wouldn't mind playing EoD again despite it having the same fundamentals
OK'd my way through Rhythm Heaven Fever
This game brutally and repeatedly kicked my butt all the way through, but you know what? It was fun!
It was nice to finally get this one out of my physical backlog and actually appreciate the genius in what the game sets out to do.
Beaten both games in Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series
Klonoa 2's story was solid, albeit it didn't quite hit me where I live like the original did.
Where the game lacks in emotional blows, though, it makes up with its extravagant level design. Some parts were fairly challenging!
Fun fact about Game Cycle...
Well, specifically Cowboy Lance: Episode One.
Cowboy Lance Ep. 1 is actually a game I built in 2010 (mostly, anyway. Left it unfinished until 2012). What Game Cycle has is a full-on remake I decided to make!
Here's a couple comparison shots.
Just beat Klonoa for Wii
I tried to play with English voice acting at first, but UGH! That's not Klonoa's voice; that's a man pretending he's still in school
The game otherwise remains very fun. I think I prefer the PS1 original, but this is a competent version in its own right
I couldn't sleep, so I decided to play some games.
Awesome Pea 2 was the first of three games I played during this time, and I think the original may actually be better.
The levels in this game cheap-shot me so much it feels like the design philosophy may have regressed a bit.
@ArtofLostandCan Fun fact
I once asked Chris Bores if I could do a new Irate Gamer Game and he basically told me to go for it.
Didn't actually do anything for it outside of this image. I ended up thinking it was better to prioritize my original IP than ride the coattails of a polarizing one.
