Been re-playing 1996’s wonderful Gussun Paradise (aka YoYo’s Puzzle Park) on PS1. Only released in Japan & Europe (I have a feeling I bought my copy at a car boot sale).
Kind of Bomberman × Bubble Bobble. Feels intimidating/confusing for the first 30mins until it clicks …then you’re in heaven! Brilliant.
I never have - looks quite complex for one of these maze platformers, I’m curious to try it out! Watching this video I can’t quite work out what the stage clear conditions are???
I like the Gussun Oyoyo series. Check out my thread about falling-block-puzzle-games-where-theres-a-little-fella-on-top (full of old-timey forum broken links and images I should fix), which Gussun Oyoyo is a mainstay. Hadn’t heard of this spinoff, seems much more exciting, what with the Death Beams.
I had found your thread when searching to see if this game had been mentioned. It’s difficult to state just how much of a spinoff and how different a concept it is.
At least they give Death Beams to both CPU and player.
I’ve seen the credits in YoYo’s Puzzle Park (Gussun Paradise) so I’m currently replaying each stage to find the hidden bonus child (face/head symbol). Once I’ve got all of those I’ll unlock new game plus!
The crown symbol I think is for a perfect stage complete, but I’m not 100% sure!?
This game force thing looks like it was made in 1996 and would have a pea soup colored screen and most of the buttons would have no function - what a wild device!
