Cocona World is a cute action/adventure game by Sofel.
The player takes control a young witch on a magical training. Her journey starts
in a magical forest where trees have eyes and red monkeys are ferocious
beasts. Her first task is to find a fairy hidden nearby to fill
up her magic wand. With her powers back, she can now transform various animals
into objects and smiling stars. But beware not to hit a friendly animal
or her health bar will dramatically drop. Other important locations are also hidden inside
the forest, like her house allowing the player to save the game's progress, the hospital
giving her back some precious health, a Bingo or the cave from which she
can access the rest of the world. Other tiny places can trigger
interesting actions such as hot springs where our heroine takes off
her magic hat and share a warm bath time... with a cute and friendly looking bear.

Cocona World is graphically correct for a Famicom
game and the 'world of magic' has some interesting moments and
features. However, the screenshots are not representative of its greatest flaw -
its agonizing slowness. Cocona can only
walk one pixel at the time - it literally takes her forever
to cross the screen. Top that with a really confusing story where you never
really know what you are supposed to do next (and I do not think the
Japanese text has anything to do with it, yet it doesn't help).
All in all, Cocona World has terribly aged and won't
really motivate players much today... I mean, that's the overall
feeling I got when I tried to figure out what the hell was
going on in that weird magic forest.
