Cookie Delivery
by JAWS V Soft
Cookie Delivery is an interesting ghost-smashing game.
| You control COOKIE, a beautiful delivery girl. This time, you must deliver a box of cookies to Mr. JAWS V. All you have to do is smash everything on your way to Mr. JAWS V. Beware of ghosts who disguise as many objects. | |
| This game is basically a platform game. Sort of like playing
Donkey Kong but not as involved. You have to go through each level
and smash all the ghosts in the building with your hammer.
A lot of potential. Unfortunately, the levels aren't designed as you would think.
Instead of getting past the level to get to the next one, you have to defeat all the
ghosts in the level in order to have the elevator open and take you to the next
level. I find it kind of annoying to have to go all the way back considering how slow
Cookie moves. The levels aren't overly challenging in and of themselves, but there are problems with the controls which make this game tough. The ghosts are in one place, and basically pop in and out of the furniture. Hitting them is a matter of timing when they are not breathing fire and moving in. If I can find a major fault, it is in the intro screens. Why do I have to sit through the long cartoon each and everytime?! And why does it take so long for the level to start? Each time Cookie is hit, you have to start the level over. While you do have unlimited continues, it is annoying to have to wait for the "LEVEL xx" to finally go away so you can start. |

| Graphically, this game is beautiful. Very anime-ish. The intro shows the beautiful Cookie, and the game has a very comic appeal. I especially liked how the ghosts would say "Ouch!" when you hit them. Very nice looking animation also. When Cookie turns, she doesn't just automatically turn. She turns completely around. Overall, the graphics were pretty cool. | |
| I did not like the controls. While there is an option for the control pad/joystick, using the keyboard is not very fun. While it is doable, I just never feel as if I am in complete control. While there are no visible tiles, I feel as if the game is tile based in the way Cookie moves. The way the game is designed does not work with the way the controls work. It is like the game requires you to have precise control but doesn't allow you to have it. I always feel like turning around and moving back to a safe spot before the ghosts can breath that fire on me, but Cookie has to move all the way to the next tile before she can turn back. By then, it is too late. If the control issues can be worked out, this game would be so much better. | |
| None. | |
| The game requires that you time your movements so that you can get close enough to the ghosts to hit them without getting hit. Not too challenging in and of itself, but the controls are not very good for this. The controls create a somewhat frustrating experience whenever I end up making a mistake and moving in too soon. I can't take it back as quickly as I should be able to. Still, this game has 10 levels, and they are pretty easy, once you get the controls down, even though you probably won't. | |
| I found this game to be quite enjoyable, when I wasn't getting upset at the controls. The graphics are the main strong point, but the actual idea and design of the game are pretty good too. While the controls need some tweaking, the game itself is quite fun. I was not too satisfied with it, but it was better than ok. | |
| I suggest this game to anyone who has patience. You will need it for the control issue, but the game does have its strong points. | |
