Walkabout Journeys
SCORE: 82
There are days here at Family Friendly
Gaming I wonder what I have gotten myself into. I play some games that
make me scratch my head. I play others that make me marvel at all the
creative minds out there. Walkabout Journeys is a great example of a
creative mind. Players take a group of characters from start to finish.
Nothing novel about that right? Well the levels rotate completely
around.
The floor becomes the ceiling in Walkabout
Journeys. A wall becomes the floor
as well. Walkabout Journeys is kind enough to ease us into this
transition, and explain it along the way. The group of characters we are
guiding remind me of the Mad Hatter for some reason. They are definitely
odd, and that is the nicest way I can describe them.
The music in Walkabout Journeys is fantastic. It repeats and gets stuck
in the head. I just hope I do not wake up in the middle of the night
with this song playing in my mind. The text in Walkabout Journeys
reinforces that Mad Hatter statement from before. Characters can fall to
their death - which is almost always off screen.
Some of the images in Walkabout Journeys can be dark. And I mean that in
a tonal way only. There are four seasons in Walkabout Journeys. Each of
the seasons contains four levels. So that brings the grand total to a
whopping sixteen levels. Sort of light for ninety-nine cents in my
opinion. Walkabout Journeys is an interesting experience though.
Walkabout Journeys earns points for being very original. There are
numerous ways players can control the game. I prefer rotating the screen
around. Although it was always strange after completing a level. Since I
may be looking at a menu screen sideways or upside down. This brought a
chuckle from me. I like the ideas in Walkabout Journeys, and hope to see
updates and future releases from this company.
