It’s cute as anything, but it’s not perfect – the second book of the three isn’t so interesting, and the first half of the game is just too easy, even if it does become more challenging later.
The little worm even talks to you as you spell, his encouragement rising as you add letters you’ll want to please him. To keep things fresh, you’re rewarded for themed words – spell out BACON when fighting a pig for a damage bonus – and against all odds you’ll soon find yourself immensely proud of some of your finer 10-letter efforts. You’ll fight a Little Pig with a special move called Demoralizing Squeal, a Grandma who’ll use the Cheek Pincher on you, and a variety of literary companions who’ll join your quest and provide you with lovely bonus abilities.
The rest of the game carries on in a similar vein. But each enemy has an accompanying text description, and when the Moon duly arrives next it hits you with:īecause the moon is the Earth’s only natural satellite.” The first few encounters ease you in gently and show you the ropes, with fights against the Cat and the Fiddle, and the delightfully named Space Cow. But it needs a new theme, so, after travelling through Books 1, 2 and 3 last time, this game gets right into Books 4, 5 and 6, beginning with the world of Fractured Fairy Tales – complete with the game’s twisted sense of humour.
