Zamby Review

Did you ever play the Pokemon series? Well it was easily one of my favorite games ever and when I first started playing Zamby, I was immediately struck at how it reminded me of those old games. Maybe it was just the strange made-up words that the game uses, but I was definitely interested. Now don't misunderstand me, there is no violence or fighting in this game, it is only remininsent of certain parts of Pokemon, most notably the puzzles that you had to solve in caves and at boss gyms. If you have never played Pokemon, forget this first paragraph and move on to the next one.

Zamby is a puzzle, adventure game that asks you to skip along your merry way and collect all the mystical crystals in the level. Once you collect all the pieces, you can continue on to the next stage. However, it is not that easy! You must avoid enemies that block your way. These bad guys include wizards and other evil forest creatures that turn you to stone when they see you. In order to circumnavigate these foes, you can push wooden crates in front of their path to get to where you need to go.

Even though it can be considered a adventure game, it is a puzzle game at heart. The first few levels are so easy you do not even have to worry about where you need to go. However, as the game progresses, every move you make could have dire consequences later in the stage. Zamby quickly becomes a challenging and thought-provoking puzzle that forces you to think two steps ahead of every move.

These games have always been something that I enjoy, and Zamby was definitely enjoyable. This game is fun for the whole family, as there is no violence, and the music reminds you of a more whimsical time, when there were no worries in the world (except wizards that threatened to turn you to stone). That of course is a joke, but Zamby the game does not mess around. It is a solid puzzle, adventure that I give three and a half stars out of five.
