Reviews for Kwik Snax (#9367)

Review by Stack on 04 Feb 2009 (Rating: 3)

Taking their arcade adventure mascot Dizzy and planting him into a single screen arcade game was a brilliant way of introducing a new generation of Spectrum players to the simple pleasures quick moving hide and dodge fun.
It is superbly implemented with great presentation and music but most importantly the game - an adaptation from those block sliding Pengo games - plays really well.
Crash Smashed it, YS gave it a Megagame. Arcade fun was back in fashion.
I like Kwik Snax a lot, but I've only played it twice. I got 2/3 through all the levels second go. And that's why I'm rating it only average. It is a quick snack, an omlette that isn't filling enough.

To many this is the best Dizzy arcade game, and they are right because this is really good, a nice Pengo style game with good gameplay and great music. The only thing is I've completed it so many times because it is a bit too easy of a game, you finish it once and you'll finish it all the time.

Still it is the best Dizzy arcade game and well worth playing. Oh and it also has the best opening ever in any Spectrum game.

Fun Pengo style arcade game. As others have said it's a bit on the easy side. There's also a bug that will crash the game if you get too high a score!

Dizzy's best arcade game, even if it's a tad easy to finish. The presentation and intro is brilliant. The whole game is Pengo and executed well.

Yes, this is the best Pengo clone available on the Spectrum. Looks cute, plays nice and has a few brief interludes between some levels which raises the curiosity level makin' it more compelling. Dizzy done it all.
