Frantic Flea (Super Nintendo Entertainment System, 1995)

Product Specs

Description

Neither cute nor creepy, Frantic Flea is a graphically challenged game in which players control the title character as he gathers the required number of fleas in each level and delivers them to the exits. When Frantic gets hit by an alien or an electricity-spitting machine, he will lose all his fleas, giving players the laborious task of gathering them again. To vanquish enemies, Frantic is equipped with a frustratingly inept spin-attack. Also exasperating are numerous blind jumps that can result in cheap deaths. With its wacky appearance, minimalistic backgrounds, quirky sound effects and jazzy music, Frantic Flea tries hard to be hip. Unfortunately, it will bug fans of Sonic the Hedgehog, Earthworm Jim and other superior platformers.
