****************************************************************************

Opening Snide Remarks: A 3-D space adventure starring Humphrey the brave
astronaut. Plays kind of like Equinox.

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Descripion: You play in a three-quarter world. If you don't know
what that is, think of Equinox, or Super Mario RPG. It's a really hard
adventure game, especially if you are only a novice player. You have a
limited air supply, that depletes each time a couple seconds goes by, or when
you get hit.

Liked: A moderately fun game if you loved Equinox for SNES.

Hated: A hard, complicated, hard to catch on to game.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: The intro to this game looks pretty cool... For a
first-gen Game Boy game. And graphics during play are average, too.

Liked: A nice intro.

Hated: Average graphics.

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: In turn, your sound and music is also what can be
expected. There's only a couple songs. And they are really uninspired songs
for a really uninspired space game. Sound FX are from some $1.99 "make your
own sound FX for your games" software.

Liked: Nothing much to like.

Hated: Uninspired Music and FX.

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: The three quarter view I found really hard to
control, especially on a Game Boy, since you can't turn your controller
around into an X or the screen will turn along with it. Also, a confusing
level design. Jumping is also difficult.

Liked: If you play this game REAL REAL long, and loved Equinox, you might
catch on to the controls.

Hated: Jumping, 3 1/4 control, and a tough level design. So is dodging
enemies.

****************************************************************************

Improve: Better level design and layout. Many things need just a little more
tweaking. 

RIYL: Equinox.

****************************************************************************

Final Words: I wasn't very happy with this game. I don't recemmond it to
novice players. If you get this game, make sure you keep the receipt. But if
you love 3 1/4 adventures, this might be a worthy purchase.
