Whizz PS1

Prepared by the British studio Flair Software, the game is a port of a 2D platformer game, which initially appeared on PC in 1994. The game differs from many similar titles in the way of presenting the action, which is shown in isometric projection.

Story

Whizz is a human-like rabbit with magical abilities. Pursued by his eternal enemy, Ratty, who travels by an airship, the hero has to overcome numerous adversities in four lands and reach his own aircraft. This is the only chance for him to escape from the cunning opponent.

Mechanics

Whizz is a two-dimensional platform game where the action is presented in isometric projection. On each level, there is a number of platform challenges for the players, as well as opponents, which can be defeated with the help of an attack - quick spin in the style of Crash Bandicoot. The fun is diversified by occasional logic challenges, such as the need to find and match keys to magical doors. Each map has its own time limit within which Whizz has to fit if he wants to escape Ratty. The player's progress is judged by the points awarded for collecting gems and flags, as well as rockets hidden in every land.

Technical aspects

Whizz is a colorful, fairytale-like game, which works very well as a toy for younger gamers. The title features FMV sequences, presenting the story of the title character.
