Heartlight Deluxe is one of the better Supaplex clones, although level design leaves much to be desired. Your task is to guide the little elf Percival through 60 levels, each of which is full of various hazards. Not surprisingly, the exit door in each level can only be unlocked when Percival collects all the hearts in that level. Although most levels in Heartlight are similar to each other, much of the fun lies in figuring out how the different hazards behave and react. Not unlike Epyx' classic Chip's Challenge, experimentation is key to winning in this game, and you will need reflexes as well as wits to survive. Many later levels can only be solved by precise timing and careful planning. Overall, Heartlight is a fun Supaplex variant that will keep puzzle fans entertained. Puzzle veterans may frown at the game's repetitive levels, but beginners will welcome the gradual increase of difficulty. Not a must-play by any means, but a good, clean fun. Worth a look if you like Supaplex or an older classic Boulderdash Reviewed by: Underdogs |
