Balan Wonderworld
SCORE: 93
Did you enjoy the live streams I did of
Balan Wonderworld?
They were transformed into videos on our channel. At some point they
will appear on our other video sites as well Lord willing. Balan
Wonderworld is all about the awe and wonder of exploration. We find keys
that unlock costumes. Those costumes grant the player new skills. Those
skills allow us to access areas in the levels.
Balan Wonderworld has all kind of song and dance within it. The levels
are short in Balan Wonderworld but a lot is packed into them. We need to
replay levels as we earned new costumes. Take for example we cannot
reach a certain area unless we have the spider costume. Maybe we need
the butterfly costume. Each costume comes with advantages and
disadvantages. Take the dragon costume for example. We can breath fire
and decimate enemies. We cannot jump with the dragon costume. Players
can have three costumes on them at a time. When we take a hit we lose
that costume. Continuation points include the ability to change all
three of our costumes.
Balan Wonderworld encourages families to explore the areas thoroughly.
We need to find so many statues to unlock the next series of levels.
That means going back through the levels and trying to figure out which
costumes to use to get to the statues. Some of these are easy and some
are more challenging. I also learned to costume grind in Balan
Wonderworld because mistakes happen and I lost costumes. There are these
peep creatures we can feed in the main map world area that are building
a tower for us. The colored gems we collect are used to feed these
little creatures. These peep creatures come in different colors just
like the gems.
The general setup for Balan Wonderworld is two levels and a boss. We can
earn a variety of different costumes per level. Statues are hidden in
all kinds of different places in Balan Wonderworld. I loved walking
through mirrors in Balan Wonderworld. The bright colors are great to
see. I loved the music and audio in Balan Wonderworld. There is some
mild cartoon violence in Balan Wonderworld. The characters are generally
safe for the entire family. I am very thankful Family Friendly Gaming
had enough money to purchase Balan Wonderworld on the Xbox Series X. We
need more games like this one in my book.
