Tak: Mojo Mistake
Happy go lucky Tak is now a 2D RPG side scroller, and while it was released at the same
time as Guardians of the Gross is a completely different game.
As town shaman Tak is called upon to rid the village of a wild boar.
This is the tutorial - nicely done.
Annoyed with so much demand on his services - Tak used his magic to create workers - Hackies.
Of course - like Mickey Mouse in the Sorcerer's Apprentice - they get out of control - and the adventure begins.
Pupununu Village is home base and where Tak returns to get a new quests.
Quest? Hey this is a side scroller.
It's a jam packed side scroller.
Four quest locations: Pupununu Village, Jungle, Volcano and Juju Temple - but only the Juju Temple uses the
touch screen for navigation - up down sideways and upside-down.
Collect everything you can see, bring it to the Alchemy Lab. Weapons upgrades ands magic are done here - on the touch
screen by mixing items you have acquired.
If it works - it can be used, if not you get a flapping chicken!
Ongoing puzzles can be puzzling - but being aware of that, you start looking for unusual solutions - antagonizing
a skunk so Tak's smell will chase off a shooting squirrel starts you off in the right track.
Invincibility feather is a gas.
Front and back image planes in the screens give a nice feeling of 3D.
Drumming and environmental sounds don't wear on you.
Only one save slot - bummer. But a good manual.
Sure doesn't feel like the old Tak to me.
There is a lot to the game and the different types of activities keeps the interest high.
