Beavers

Dull and hard to play. The graphics are cheap-looking, the imitation bluegrass music grates terribly (especially given that it can only be heard in the absence of sound effects, a bewilderingly archaic limitation in a game from 1993), and the slippery, unreliable movement is annoying at best and fatal at worst. On top of that, you have inconsistencies like the same cloud graphics being used for both platforms and scenery, and the self-scrolling levels are simply frustrating (and I'm one of those weirdos who appreciates a good self-scrolling level). As a final insult to the player, the main character's single attack is useful against only a fraction of the enemies, which is about as satisfying as it sounds. And who came up with that ridiculous intro?

The constant scrolling could be really infuriating in this game although a little patience could see you get that little bit further. It look acceptable enough and would while away the odd hour or two. Nice intro too.

Poor Grandslam. They thought they can make a decent game, but instead it's too average. The controls are broken, as in our "floppy-tailed" hero will spin dance or sidewalk instead of getting his ass in gear and go walking, and my ROM copy is broken as well since after level one, the ROM f*cks up and go to guru hell. I don't feel like replacing now. The graphics are good, as well as the music which actually is kinda annoying, but the game play is so average since it's too challenging."Dam" it, the game isn't so decent at all. (Yes, I misspelled "damn", but I did that as a joke about a crummy beaver themed game.)

I truly hate platformers which force you to keep up with the scrolling screen or you'll die! This is one of those and although the graphics are very decent the gameplay ruins everything for me. Shame.

Graphics: 7/10
Sound: 6/10
Playability: 3/10

Overall: 3/10

A bright platformer with a beaver as the lead character (you never would of guessed that would you). Anyways, this isn't a bad platformer but it frustrates with occasional scrolling levels which you have to keep ahead the screen or die. Can be fun but doesn't have the pedigree of the top platformers out there for the wonderful Amiga. Get Superfrog instead.
