Is it still worth playing?
A cartoon star with long stretchable arms travels the planets of the Valdi system to free their people from the evil King Greedy, in this 1995 platformer for the Genesis. His arms reach in eight directions, and he grabs enemies and pulls himself in for a headbutt. He also grabs poles and Star Handles to swing around and launch off, and with enough momentum he becomes invincible for a short time. He climbs walls and ceilings by attacking them. Each planet has two normal stages and a boss, and each normal stage hides a bonus stage. The planets include a water planet, where he moves faster than on land, and a fire planet with lava surges and falling meteors. Fighting, climbing and swinging all run through the stretchy arms, so one idea is enough to start playing today.
