Jump around with Dizzy the Egg. Dizzy is from Yolkfolk and has an egg friend named Daisy. They fall into the clutches of the evil wizard Zak who Dizzy has to defeat.
The Eggzelente day
Dizzy is from Yolkfolk. He and his girlfriend Daisy discover a secret entrance to the castle from the evil wizard Zak. They were actually looking for Daisy's pet, Fluffy. Zak watches them through a crystal ball and sets a trap for them.
Fire and water
Apart from Dizzy jumping around as an egg, you start the game in a cave. You collect matches and straw to burn your way through the wooden door. The game turns out to be an interesting puzzle game in which Dizzy talks to other eggs. You will receive various tips to support you. But be careful: if you go into the fire without extinguishing it, for example, you will sizzle a delicious omelette out of yourself.
Mysterious egg
With it you can jump through the game and puzzle your way through by finding, collecting and combining objects. You can carry three items at the same time. You will be given a black dot to empty your inventory. With this black hole, you can empty your pockets completely once. The objects are then lying around until you come to collect them again.
Save the egg
In addition to solving the various puzzles, the aim is to save the girl Daisy. The puzzles are not very complex, but they are more tricky than at the beginning of the game. There are no conventional jump and run opponents like most platforms. The game is still not easy, as Dizzy cannot swim and immediately dies if he comes into contact with water.
Difficult landings
Dizzy can jump up in the clouds and back down to the ground without bothering him. What becomes a bit problematic is the fact that Dizzy rolls around like an egg on these landings. This can get a bit frustrating on some platforms.
Conclusion
The game isn't great, but the graphics are beautifully and colorfully presented. It has very good aspects, but it also brings with it one or two moments of frustration. Especially the frustration when some jumps don't work. Dizzy is a jump & run game for NES, that has something more than classic jump & run aspects and can be very entertaining with its funny moments.
