Little Medusa
SCORE: 71
I am very thankful I had the money to purchase a copy of the Mega Cat
Studios Collection 1 on the Evercade family of systems. Little Medusa is
one of the video games that came on the cartridge. If you catch our live
streams then you will be very aware of Little Medusa. There is also a
video of Little Medusa on the Family Friendly Gaming website in the
videos section. Little Medusa is an 8-bit and 16-bit puzzle video game
that reminds me somewhat of The Adventures of Lolo.
Players take on the role of Artemiza who is one of the vain daughters of
the Olympian false gods. Little Medusa is thick in the ancient Greece
religious beliefs. The main lady in Little Medusa gets turned into a
Medusa and that is the main gameplay mechanic. We turn the enemies into
stone and then push them into the water to make land we can walk across.
The enemies keep respawning so we can make all kinds of land. Do be
careful as some of these enemies will lunge at the player.
Take one hit in Little Medusa and you will need to start the level all
over from scratch. Players must figure out the gameplay mechanics within
Little Medusa for themselves. There are physical copies on retro systems
as well as the Evercade. I personally believe you get a better deal on
the Evercade since ten retro games are included on the cartridge that
Little Medusa appears on.
One of the things families can do with Little Medusa is figure out how
quickly they can beat a level. Another thing to do is see if you can
figure out the least amount of blocks needed to get the stars. Once the
player collects the stars in Little Medusa they have beaten the level.
Little Medusa has retro graphics and retro music. The special effect
sounds are decent in Little Medusa.
My biggest problem with Little Medusa is I got stuck at one point. For
some reason I could not figure out how to get to the stars. I tried a
few different theories and nothing worked for me. I could probably look
it up. The point is if you are stuck in Little Medusa then you will not
progress. I found no way to skip levels based in Little Medusa. This can
be lame especially if you want to see more of the puzzles.
