This is the definitive game for all foodlovers! The Munchables is all about blobs that amble around a very colourful fantasy world with their gaping gobs devouring everything that gets in their way.
Namco Bandai has developed and published their latest offering, which is inarguably a blend of features hand-picked by the dozen, from their two most popular games of yore Pac-Man and Katamari Damacy.
The stars of Munchables are two very likable hungry blobs: Chomper and Munchy. Don Onion, their archenemy, is attempting to take over their world with the help of his evil drove of space pirates, and it is up to our protagonists to save the world from his clutches. It is as simple as that.
The game features eight levels. As Chomper and Munchy go through each level, they must eat their enemies to grow in size. Mind you, they can only eat enemies that are lower in level than them. Enemies have the level number indicated on the top of their head. Anything that is of a higher level must be broken down into smaller pieces before being consumed, and this is achieved with a head-butt from our heroes. However, as soon as you head -butt them, you need to consume the pieces quickly, since they will reassemble themselves into something bigger after a while. As you eat more enemies, you grow in size, and as you grow in size you up levels. Game play is extremely simple. The joystick helps in movement, the A button is used to ‘eat’, the B button used for head-butting as mentioned earlier, and the up button can be used to jump.
The whole world is stylised around food, with even the bosses being food items you will encounter Brocco Lee and Big Choco who you must battle to further your quest. The simplicity of game play, the foodthemed world, the cheerfully colourful world and humorous characters, guarantees to be appealing to kids and adults alike.
