Garfield - Search for Pooky

STORY / GAMEPLAY
The game follows one of our favorite cartoon characters, the lazy but loveable cat Garfield. One night, while Garfield was sleeping after a hard day of laziness, three mice broke into his house and stole Pooky. The next morning, our cat wakes up and finds out that Pooky went missing so he sets out to figure out what happened and take his friend back to safety. Garfield must now make his way through a side-scrolling platform adventure through familiar locales and interact with characters from the comic strip. Apart from jumping onto platforms and confronting the "nasty"version of some harmless animals like bees, mice and butterflies, you have to collect food (strawberries etc) and power-ups! Some of the game's levels end with a boss awaiting so be prepared for a fight. The game plays like most classic platform of its genre so its gameplay is quite familiar to the genre's fans.

GRAPHICS / SOUND
The graphics are quite simplistic but the game has large, cartoonish characters and a variety of colorful backgrounds like skies, room walls and more, while Garfield himself is very funny to watch. Most of the sprites are directly taken from actual comic strips and the hero moves smooth and fast, making the game pretty easy and fun. The sound is also good, featuring a few sampled music scores and cartoon - style sound effects.
