In each level, you’ll overcome obstacles using different costumes you can pick up.
BALAN WONDERWORLD BUDGET TV
You’re taken into the Balan theatre by Balan, a nightmarish creature that looks like a cross between a racist caricature that you’d find on old jars of jam and a cancelled former kids TV presenter.Īfter dazzling you with what can only be described as an aural assault of music and lights, you’re thrown into the Wonderworld, a different dimension in which people enjoy hunting round awful looking levels for statues of the creepy prick himself. You play as Leo Craig or Emma Cole, two utterly soulless wee freaks who’s dead eyes and annoying haircuts will make you wonder what haunted Dreamcast they were found trapped inside. It’s a platformer, a revolutionary one at that, being the first game in the genre, at least to my knowledge, that employs 6 different buttons to make your character jump. Not to mention the musical motif, which is as confused and unsettling as it is laughably poorly executed.īut through it’s terrible controls, turgid, dated collect-a-thon bullshit and general lack of any indication that it was developed with anything other than a seething hatred for the rubes that will pay £50 for the pleasure, what actually is Balan Wonderworld? You might think this impossible, especially when it stars a character that if he moved into your street, he’d have to come to your door and tell you some things about his past.
It’s not just a bad game, it’s worse, it’s an incredibly boring bad game. You might read this review or watch our Quick Play of the first level and think, “I’m a connoisseur of bad games, I’ve played my Ride To Hells and Rogue Warriors, Balan Wonderworld is perfect for me!” Stop.
