Spindizzy Worlds

Spindizzy Worlds (1990)

Genres:Strategy, Puzzle
Themes:Action, Science fiction
Story:On it's most basic level, Spindizzy Worlds is, like its predecessor, similar to Marble Madness. Controlling GERALD, you must move through the isometrically viewed landscape (largely flick-screen on the ST). There are two skill levels; the harder one features more of the precarious ledges and falls of Spindizzy. Each one takes you to a different matrix of levels, which can be played in different orders and each consist of 10 screens, with a bonus level at the end. You have limited energy, which can be recharged by collecting crystals. Fuel is limited, and is reduced by contact with hazards - generating a replacement GERALD takes time. There are many gates which are opened by running into spaces of the same colour. There are also aliens to avoid, and most movement is along thin slippery ledges with heavily inertia-based controls.Show more

One of the less-usual games I played on the C-64, and a puzzle platformer not seen before, and rarely done better. It takes time and perseverance. Some of the puzzles span huge spaces, which can be a challenge since the game switches screens instead of scrolling, but that has been factored into the design and becomes part of the challenge: turn left or right here? Can I pick up enough speed to jump over the next two screens and land where I want to go? Am I sure I'll land where I think I'll land? Definitely something that requires time, and is not solved in settings of a few minutes, but also a fairly unique gem of a game that absolutely needs to be preserved.
