ストームロード

The goal of the Stormlord action platformer is to save the naked fairies kidnapped by the evil queen. Various enemies will put sticks at your feet, but the main enemy is time. In each level you have to save a certain number of fairies from dusk, otherwise the game ends for you. In addition, you have to find the right way, because even if you miss a single fairy, there may be no way back. You will benefit from starfish, which are your only defense against enemies, and a falcon, which can take you to another area. Stormlord was released in 1989 and was well received by critics. Your task is to save a certain number of naked fairies from dusk. The problem is that each level is divided into several parts and each of them can only be visited as many times as the game allows. To get to a certain part, you have to step on a special platform from which a falcon will pick you up and take you to the next area. But there may be no way back from that one, and if you didn't save the fairy before, didn't collect the key or anything else, you can immediately start the level again. A large part of the gameplay therefore consists in finding the ideal path across the level.
