Creatures, or rather C.R.E.A.T.U.R.E.S. (full title: Clyde Radcliffe Exterminates All The Unfriendly Repulsive Earth-ridden Slime), is a platformer from the Commodore 64/128 (1990), charming, colourful, and memorable for its cartoonish bosses.
The Amiga version loses some of the magic of its predecessor, due to a design that’s too childish and poorly chosen sound effects.
I’ll add a few personal gripes: the one-way screen scrolling, the jumps that require pinpoint accuracy, the invulnerable monsters, the sluggish movement.
Had its fill? On to the next one!
