Oh boy, you only screenshotted a few parts of the first level, If you really want to hook someone Into trying you should show the complete mood whiplash with the second world.

And this adventure Is pretty much out of his Imagination, I think.

I kinda went lazy there but I agree this game had some interesting levels, three decades later and I felt nostalgic.

Is one of the games I had as a kid as I watched the cartoon back then, my opinion might be based on nostalgia though but I think it's mediocre, it's got some good ideas like the power up system in which if you collect three popsicles in a certain order you get a different power up, it encourages experimentations, it also got nice graphics and the sucking mechanic is quite interesting, but the controls need some getting used to and feel a bit too slippery and the level design can be a bit cheap, I've beaten it multiple times as a kid but this is another game I doubt I can beat nowadays without cheating.

I understand you my friend. But the game could have been better.

Well, the game isn't too bad, but playably it's not so bad, graphically it's good although it looks more like an Amiga game than a Mega Drive game and the music is compliant at least but I didn't know that this game was based on the animated series by Otto Waalkes and German Origin but hey.

Never heard of this series. From what I've been able to gather, it's viewed as the German equivalent of The Simpsons.

It sort of is from what I remember.

I think that's a stretch ^^' Never heard of this comparison xD. Ottifants were the signature of "Otto", one of the biggest German Stand-up Comedians (back in the day). Dunno why it got a game, or what it should be about at all...

I guess it's less mature than the Simpsons (albite still has its fair share of adult humour) I guess it's in between The Simpsons and Gumball in a way.

Kinda? I mean it never had anywhere near the same degree of cultural relevance, but the sense of humor is sorta like that of specifically the first season of The Simpsons in a way.

German comedian Otto Waalkes (who was pretty much the face of the German comedy scene for a while) created the Ottifanten as part of his standup-shows and it eventually became something like his brand logo.
Since he was remarkably successful, this brand character was eventually picked up for a (remarkably unfunny and boring) 13 episode season back in the day that I actually distinctly remember watching.

quicker and better phrased xD
