Item Description

Flik is a hopeless inventor with a big heart, and in this Game Boy Color take on Pixar's second feature film he is once again the colony's unlikely hope against Hopper and his gang of hungry grasshoppers. Published by THQ and built by Tiertex, it trades the 3D exploration of the console versions for a classic 2D side-scroller sized for the handheld.

Flik's quest sends him through side-scrolling stages hunting for the parts he needs for his inventions, dodging hostile insects and pelting grasshoppers with berries as he goes. It is straightforward platforming at heart, jump, throw, find what you came for and make your way out, with the film's bug's-eye world of oversized leaves and towering grass shrunk down to Game Boy Color sprites.

It is short and simple at heart, so this one is about the license and the moment more than depth. That moment is a fun one to revisit: the late 1990s, when Pixar was just beginning its run of hits and A Bug's Life was its follow-up to Toy Story. On a Game Boy Color shelf of Disney and Pixar games or late-'90s movie adaptations, it is a cheerful slice of that history with Flik, Hopper and the colony in pocket form.

About the game

Based on the Disney/Pixar 3D animated film, you must guide Flik as he sets out to find a group of warrior insects to help his colony of ants to fight off the hungry grasshoppers. Unlike the other versions of this game, the GBC version is a 2D side-scroller. You must guide Flik in finding parts for his inventions. Along the way, you must avoid other enemy insects, including the grasshoppers, or hit them with berries.
