well for my second retro gaming review, even most of you don't read this, ill present you the next title, Clu Clu Land. Ive encountered it first through my famicom and borrowed a 1000 in 1 cartridge and Clu Clu Land is included inside, i thought first that Clu Clu Land is for Clues, lol, but ive check the wiki and found out the its an onomatopia of a japanese word Kuru Kuru Land, which means, To go round and round. What's special with this game, it has never ported with any console until last 2007 in Virtual console and in animal crossing minigame, lol

Overview
In Clu Clu Land, the player is a bubble fish named Bubbles — Groopy (or Gloopy) (グルッピー, Guruppī?) in the original Japanese version — who swims around in a maze trying to uncover all the golden ingots.

Description
Clu Clu Land's story starts with a type of Sea Urchin, the Unira, stealing all of the treasures in the underwater kingdom of Clu Clu Land. Bubbles, the hero, sets out to retrieve the treasure. The object of the game is to uncover all the golden Ingots in each stage while avoiding the Unira and Black Holes. The golden Ingots usually form an outline of something, such as a heart or a mushroom. There are Turning Posts throughout the stage, and that's the only way Bubbles can turn around to go to another side. Bubbles can stun the Unira by using a Sound Wave. When they're stunned, Bubbles can push them into the wall to get rid of them and receive points.

In later levels, the player has to pass over the gold Ingots twice to uncover them, and passing over them in later levels will re-bury them.


And now for my review





Gameplay - 7/10
the gameplay is somewhat similar to pacman, but some major difference is you should control bubbles to swirve around corners to move along the maze. The fun thing here is you will unlock some figures that forms when you run thorugh some crystal like thing. but theres a catch, there are some sea urchins that lurking around the map. same also with pacman is there;s no definite storyline to catch up, just move along the maze and complete the puzzle. not so hard though if you can manage to solve the puzzle in an allotted tile

Sound - 6/10
maybe great for 8-bit era, the sound is somewhat similar to other games in the nes console, but anyways the sound is great, but not worth mentioning it

Replay Value 7/10
The replay value seems good in here since after somewhat 6 levels, the maze will be repeating, but different puzzle figure to solve, and the fun starts when the sea urchins started to move fast along the maze, just like pacman, lol

Overall - 6/10
Not maybe a great game, but this is classic, you won't find any game that has the same gameplay like this (there's a donkeykong game that also uses like this gameplay , but in a different perspective)
