Moomin's to hit the Gameboy Color
Created by Tove and Lars Jansson, the Moomins are internationally recognised characters.
Aimed mainly at a young readership the books feature Moomin Trolls and a vast gallery of other characters. They live an islander’s life in the midst of disasters such as floods, storms and comets.
The many adventures resulting from these disasters and situations form the story lines for the books, and focus strongly on family values and qualities such as kindness, self-confidence and independence.
These wonderful characters now make their fist appearance on the Game Boy Colour, and is sure to appeal to both young and adult players alike.
Game Content
Moomintroll is the main character for the game. His adventures take place in the outside world with Moominhouse as his home base to which he returns upon successful completion of each adventure. Such adventures include ‘finding Mamamoomin’s hankerchief (which holds a lot of memories for her!), and investigating the suspicious red glow on the top of Moominmountain.
During the game Moomintroll will discover and pickup food, which he can use to replenish energy lost through falling into traps, being attacked by the various creatures in the game, or being knocked unconscious.
The adventures range from several mini games all strung together, to larger adventures involving a journey with exploration and then a mini game at the end.
For example: On one mission the Snork Maiden has been taken ill and Moomintroll volunteers to find the cure. This is believed to come from a tree on a far away island. On his journey Moomintroll must cross the sea in a small boat, avoid the unfriendly inhabitants on the island, probe the depths of a jungle and eventually retrieve the cure from the tree.
With it’s gorgeous scenery and graphics, and simplistic but intuitive control system Moomin’s is sure to be a big hit on the Game Boy Colour.
