Ottifants, The (Europe)

An Ocean platformer adapted from German comedian Otto Waalkes' Ottifanten, The Ottifants strings together colourful levels full of zany enemies and light puzzles. The polished presentation, expressive sprites and good natured humour flatter the machine, in a classic but well paced approach. The lack of originality and an uneven difficulty keep it in the second rank of the genre on the console. For a fan of retro platforming or someone curious about this oddity from German comedy culture, the title keeps a light, colourful charm.
