First Blood

STOP. Prequel time! Yes, I was so busy newsing Nicky II that I didn’t notice that the same team have just released Nicky Boom too, almost simultaneously. Doh! Well I’m making amends now with a news post for this game too.

The player controls ‘Nicky’, a little boy who embarks on an adventure through a fantastical land to find an elixir to save his grandfather from a spell cast on him by the evil sorceress Zoldrane.

Nicky can walk, jump, and in an original theme can throw apple cores to defend himself against the monsters occupying the levels. Aside from throwing apple cores, the player can pick up otheritems to throw at enemies such as bouncy balls and logs. The logs can also be used to build bridges at certain parts of the levels.

Nicky is able to jump on enemies to defeat them, which is often more difficult but lets the monsters drop point items to collect. When jumped on, some enemies such as giant snails will split into multiple smaller versions of themselves.

It is pretty much the same formula as the follow up, so there is not much else to say than if you like these kinds of games you can double your pleasure. Get in!

For every link that closes, another one opens.

Go to the Deniska PSP dev site to download the game.

Did I get away with it? I think so… *phew*
