Playing Through My Evercade Collection Part 12: Oliver Twins Collection
Oh dang what a hell of a glowup here. Firstly, the music FINALLY is at a tolerable level. I said tolerable, not great but its now no longer making me want to take a drillbit to my ears.
But the rest of the game is just so good. What we have here is a modified version of Magicland Dizzy, but with some of the more bullshit elements either removed outright (no more terrible shark riding just to get in/out of the castle) or smoothed out. As for the game itself?
Firstly moving about is so much better, you no longer roll for ages and die against every little thing, the game is more cautious, gives more warning when danger is around and the puzzles feel better to play with overall. It just makes for an overall better gameplay experience as a whole.
What makes this package even better is the additions of a couple of extra modes to make casual play more fun. Firstly is a 'Casual' mode which removes most deaths and adds unlimited lives for the few times you can die (like pits). Theres also an option to play as both Dizzy and his girlfriend, allowing you to swap over at any point to make backtracking a little less of a hassle.
Overall its just such a joy of a game to play and I was indeed happy, theres still some issues like the mentioned backtracking and the platforming still is a little heavy.... But who cares. Its fun.
