This sort of ideas is what we need in games created in the new millennium. After all, contrary to what most thought, the Spectrum isn't dead, but sometimes I feel ideas for games are.
Recreating Mathew Smith's masterpieces over and over again is just plain tribute to the past. And the Spectrum community deserves a bit more.
Thankfully Toofy in Fan Land is not the only original idea come to life is the past 13 years. There have been quite a few amazing ideas, and I applaud them all.
But Toofy is not only original it's also a clever use of the AGD resources. What goes to show how wonderful this tool is.
Toofy is highly playable and very addictive, despite having a simple premise ala Pac-Man: catch all nuts. But there is plenty of action and mind work, in the correct amounts, to entertain all types of players. Of course, the game isn't perfect, far from that. I could be a nag and complain how some sprites are a bit flavorless and uninspiring, etc. But this are minor petty details that doesn't spoil the game. Also the author got around that, and embellish Toofy's world in the sequel, so he is excused.
Worth trying.
