Wonderland is an addictive, non-violent family entertainer that was first introduced to the world by Magnetic Scrolls in the early nineties. It is a three-dimensional game with two main characters and one simple goal of finding coins to advance to the next level. It is a tile-based game and features many elements of the popular game Sokoban, as well as other tile-based games of the era.
Numerous obstacles will get in your way as you try to amass enough coins to move on to Wonderland's subsequent levels.
There are over eighty levels in all, and they can be completed in any order for each world. Regardless of the order in which they are completed, each level still has a predetermined number of coins which need to be collected in order to escape and move on. Once the user had enough coins, he or she can move on to the next world.
There are a multitude of unusual adversaries, many hidden secrets and a plethora of unique puzzles to be negotiated. Each of the eighty five levels takes place in one of ten magical and colourful settings, including a dark and dreary dungeon and a snow white winter landscape. You will have to build bridges, battle bizarre enemies such as Kabooms, disable
laser guns, and dodge flaming fireball traps as you look for coins. Guiding one of the two characters (Stinky or Loof) over the terrain will also be a tricky challenge as you face collapsing floors, slippery ice, walking bombs, and elevators that require exact timing. There is also some classic Zelda action when you have to push rocks, step on switches and find keys.
The premise of the game is simple. The story revolves around the country of Wonderland, which is inhabited by some odd little creatures. A magical storm has blown into the land and shuttled away all the Little Stinkers, including your friends Qookie and Peegue.
The great soundtrack by Purple Motion lends atmosphere to the quest and other non-playing characters met along the way will also add depth. Because of its colour, innocence and innovation, Wonderland spawned several spin-offs and sequels, all geared for children, but loved and played by adults. It is a solid play that will provide hours of entertainment for the whole family.
