Super Stamp (2009): A Stamp-tastic Puzzle Adventure
Released in 2009 for the Nintendo DS, Super Stamp is a unique and charming puzzle game that’s perfect for casual gamers. Developed by Skip Ltd. and published by Nintendo, the game features a cast of colorful, rubber stamp-shaped characters who bounce and jump their way through a variety of levels, solving puzzles and collecting stamps along the way.
Gameplay
The gameplay in Super Stamp is simple yet addictive. Players control one of four stamp-shaped characters (Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde) as they navigate through a series of levels, each with its own unique puzzle to solve. The goal of each level is to collect all of the stamps scattered around the level and reach the exit.
To move around the level, players simply tap the stylus on the touch screen. The character will then jump in the direction of the tap. Players can also use the stylus to bounce the character off of walls and other objects in the level. This is essential for reaching some of the higher stamps and solving some of the more challenging puzzles.
In addition to collecting stamps, players can also collect coins and power-ups. Coins can be used to purchase new characters and costumes, while power-ups can give players special abilities, such as the ability to jump higher or move faster.
Characters
There are four playable characters in Super Stamp: Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde. Each character has their own unique strengths and weaknesses.
- Inky: The all-around character. He’s not the best at any one thing, but he’s good at everything.
- Blinky: The speedy character. He can move faster than the other characters, but he can’t jump as high.
- Pinky: The strong character. She can jump higher than the other characters, but she’s not as fast.
- Clyde: The floaty character. He can float in the air for a short period of time, which allows him to reach some of the higher stamps.
Levels
There are over 100 levels in Super Stamp, each with its own unique puzzle to solve. The levels are divided into four worlds: the Forest World, the Water World, the Ice World, and the Sky World. Each world has its own unique set of challenges, such as moving platforms, disappearing blocks, and slippery ice.
Graphics and Sound
The graphics in Super Stamp are bright and colorful, with a hand-drawn art style that gives the game a charming and whimsical look. The sound is also excellent, with catchy music and sound effects that add to the overall Atmosphäre.
Reception
