First off, a little about the game:

Pocoman, made in 1996 by sleepless sowftware, is a game where you must move
treasures from their starting squares, to their finishing squares while
traveling through a maze. As the level # get's higher, the difficulty
increases. E.G. #1 is a piece of cake, and #50 is virtually impossible!

Now, a little about the walkthrough:

In the walkthrough, I will not use words for directions, because some levels
require 1000's of moves, so the format i will use in this guide is:

U - Move up one space
D - Move down one space
R - Move right one space
L - Move left one space
U,D,R,L(X#) - Move Up\Down\Left\Right # spaces.

Note: Moves are the same when pushing gems\treasures\items\etc.

Reviewer: Jdude84

Welcome to the game of Pocoman, your mission, move treasures from their
starting area, to their finishing squares. If you think this sounds easy,
then you are mistaken. Pocoman is one of the hardest puzzlers in my opinion
for the PC, the only game harder possibly could be Chip's Challenge. Pocoman
must solve his way through 50 puzzles where one mistake could cost you. If
your up to the challenge, try pocoman today!

Graphics - 7
It's a 1996 PC game, so it's a bit old, and the graphics aren't the best.
However, they are clear, and you can see all the features of the levels
without squinting, for a '96 computer game the graphics aren't half bad! The
graphic quality is good enough that it doesn't hinder gameplay, which is
great for a puzzle game!

Sound\Music - 6
The only reason this score is so low is the fact that there is NO background
music! None! However, the sound effects are pretty cool, and pocoman's
phrases are pretty funny sometimes. It's too bad the developers didn't put
in music, or this could have been a great game audio-wise.

Gameplay - 10
The gameplay REALLY saves this game! There are 50 levels in which you must
complete, each of them having a different theme, item, and layout. Sometimes
there are as little as 6 gems, sometimes there are over 25! The game is
extremly fun to play through, and may take you a while! This is a great game
for players of all ages!

Challenge - 10
A big fat whoppin 10 on the challenge meter, this game is HARD, i'll admit i
haven't even beaten it yet! This game can take many people a long time to
complete, even experts. Some people may find it a bit easier, but this is no
beat it in a day kind of game.

Replay Value - 8
Actually, the replay isn't half bad in this game! After you've beaten the
game you are bound to forget the solutions to some levels! Also you can go
for new best times and records on every level! Try beating level 10 in under
3 minutes, that's a whole new game in itself!

Overall - 8
The gameplay really saves this game, and overall it is a pretty fun game,
plus..it's free! You can download it at sleepless software's homepage! Get
this game today, it's tons of fun!

win)
