Item Description

A flea is about the smallest hero a platformer can have, and Frantic Flea makes the most of it. GameTek's Super Nintendo release casts you as a flea warrior defending Flea World from the Insideos, an evil race of bugs who have been enslaving his friends and family. The job is part rescue mission, part exploration: each stage is there to be poked around in, and freeing captive fleas along the way matters as much as reaching the exit. Take a hit and the fleas you have gathered scatter, which keeps every rescue run tense right up to the goal.

Gadgets keep it moving. The Hoverpod takes the action airborne, and the Stikko lets the little hero cling to and climb up walls, so levels open up vertically instead of just scrolling left to right. The cartoon art carries a lot of personality, with smooth, generously animated sprites that make a hero the size of a speck feel lively and expressive.

Frantic Flea arrived in 1996, late in the console's life, when much of the attention had drifted to newer hardware, and it never found a large audience. That obscurity is a big part of its charm now. Developed by Haüs Teknikka, it is an offbeat 16-bit platformer far from the Mario and Donkey Kong Country mold, and a satisfying find for players who like digging into the forgotten corners of the Super Nintendo library rather than replaying the same handful of hits.

About the game

Frantic Flea has the player take control of a flea warrior out to protect his Flea World from an evil race of bugs called the Insideos who are enslaving his friends and family. The gameplay is a side-scroller with six different levels, where the player explores each stage, freeing fellow captive fleas and utilizing weapons and devices to aid in their missions such as the Hoverpod which enables flight and the Stikko which can give the player the ability to climb walls. The graphics are done up in a cartoon-style with over 100 animation frames to give sprites a more fluid life-like feel.
