Twinworld

STORY / GAMEPLAY
You control an elf called Ulopa. Ulopa is a prince and the sole survivor of the Cariken royal family. Ulopa has to avenge his father's death and must travel through 23 progressively harder levels to find the pieces of a stolen amulet and confront an evil wizard called Maldur. The gameplay mainly involves jumping on different platforms and shooting magical balls towards enemies, which come in the form of various evil looking, fantasy animals (three in total). Each weapon might run out but it can also be replenished when killing the evil creatures. To complete a level, Ulopa must find a piece of the stolen amulet and go through the main exit door while he must also enter caves and reveal secret doors to find more bonuses. There's an option for when things get desperate: You can press the ESC key when you cannot do anything to proceed and the game will take you some steps back. But this will cost a life as well, so be careful with your moves and actions.

GRAPHICS / SOUND
The graphics on the Amiga version are good, featuring colorful levels and smooth sprite animation and background scrolling. Comparably, there's more detail on the Amiga version compared to the Archimedes and the Atari ST; notice the color shading at the sky on the Amiga's backgrounds (the Atari ST and Archimedes versions are almost identical in graphics). The sound on the Amiga's version is very pleasant and includes nice in-game tunes, a few sampled sound effects as well as a very cool intro music.
