Game Description |
Welcome to Papuwa Island, where the wildlife is strange and the locals are even weirder!
This is a solid little Action Puzzle game based on an old comedy manga/anime series that
doesn't seem to be very well known outside of Japan. The title may ring a bell thanks to
the Super Famicom game of the same name (with its own fan translation provided by Frank
Hughes), which, while both looking and playing completely differently to this game, was
actually released on the exact same day!
The aim of this game is to destroy all of the blocks in a level in one punch (after
charging the strength of the punch with the A button). The blocks will regenerate after
a couple of seconds if you didn't manage to take them all out at the same time. By
pushing and pulling barrels into the correct position - while avoiding enemies - you can
force the shockwave from Papuwa's punch to split off into different directions. By
failing to destroy all of the blocks with the first punch, you do actually get the
opportunity to collect some items, which can come in handy for boss battles. Those take
place on every 5th stage.
The text sequences that often occur between stages are quite funny and could be considered
one of the best parts of this game, so hopefully people will enjoy the translated dialogue.
