Travel Apple is a cute puzzle/action game by Telenet and is somehow
inspired by other Battle Games including Hudson Soft's famous Bomberman.
Epuru, the heroine of the game, is a cute little girl in a big and
cartoony penguin suit. Penguins, as you soon discover, are everywhere in this
game and the action starts in the white landscapes of Antartica. She is
accompanied by her pet-penguin and his cute little hat. The goal of the game is
to clean up every stage during intense one-on-one fights. Various weapons can
be collected and used against your opponent : clubs, metal pipes but also hand
grenades and bombs. Other items, like potions, will help our heroine and give her
some life back. Battle fields are also filled with special blocks and tiles, like
traps, teleporters or green reviving pools. The game will take our friend to different
parts of the world and affront many enemies, including crazy wales, giant shrimps,
insane scientists, military freaks and finally, the evil master penguin.
Travel Epuru also includes a fun two-player versus mode.

Travel Epuru is a fun and yet average game. It is definitively
a Bomberman wannabe but it hardly gets anywhere near Hudson Soft's
masterpiece. This really is a crazy game though with insane high-quality
cutscenes and enemies. The arsenal of weaponry is limited and you will
probably always end up using bombs. There is little variations in enemy a
ttack patterns and they often end up being easily predictable. All in all,
Travel Epuru could have been a great game but it sadly offers little
gameplay variations and stages are horribly repetitive. All the cutscenes
played here and there are gorgeous, you only wished the rest of the
game displayed the same qualities. All in all, an average game...
