What amazes me is how the physics engine is so reliable, and works just as well as any other nearly two decades later! Don't forget that few - if any - games on the PS1 had a physics engine of a sort, so this really is a step in a new direction, and a big one at that. You'll use powerups to slow down or stop time, get speed and jump boosts and all that.
Players take control of a ball through several levels to exits, or collect objects along the way. Anyone who has played the XBOX 360's masterpiece Arcade game, Marble Blast Ultra, will have a brief idea as to how this works. Every 50 or so collected I was unlocking art from the game, which seems to be the main pull to find them all, other than just that 100%er mentality.This review is from: Kula World (PS) (Video Game) Kula World is by far one of the most presentable games on the Playstation 1, and considering that I praise Jinx, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro and Tombi as those too, this must be good.
The majority are found easily on your direct path as you make it around the mostly linear level, but others were hidden, or below you in sections that required some level of platforming and usually at the risk of falling into the water and your doom. Throughout the two chapters, there was an abundance of flowers to collect - Chapter Two had 450 of these things to find. None of it was as hard as Kula World, but I am hoping for some slightly more challenging sections in the full game. These sections reminded me of the PS1 classic Kula World as you need to use momentum to make certain 90-degree rolls across elevated bridges and also take several sections slow and steady. The platforming is a mix of simply third-person jumping, but also several tight sections where you’re surrounded by water and you need to roll Skully carefully through without falling into the water which is Skully’s kryptonite.
The first two chapters of Skully are rather tutorial-full but gave me a good example of what the moment-to-moment action will be in the full release.Īs with all good mascot-platformers of ye-old-yesterday, Skully is equal parts platforming, collecting and combat.
