A cult title that can now be enjoyed for free anytime, anywhere. Luckily you can save your progress at any time.Ĭomix Zone is the best way to enjoy one of the greatest classics of the 16-bit era right on your Android. An unusual feature of the game is that it is set within the panels of a comic book with dialogue rendered within talk bubbles and sprites and backgrounds possessing the bright colours and dynamic drawing style favoured by superhero comics. The game doesn't last that long, but does have a diabolical difficulty level (exactly like the original). Comix Zone is a 1995 arcade-style beat 'em up video game, originally released as a Sega Genesis exclusive. The story in Comix Zone takes you through several different chapters where you've got to face tons of different mutants and solve puzzles here and there. If you hold down the attack button you can do a special attack (though it costs you a bit of life). At the left side of the screen you've got your virtual D-pad and on the right three action buttons (attack, jump, and objects).
The controls for Comix Zone on Android are identical to the ones from the classic SEGA Genesis edition.
And as if that weren't mortifying enough, the villain will do everything in his power (which is a lot) to destroy your poor character. Or a SNES version.Comix Zone is a 2D action game where you control Sketch, a comic book artist who gets trapped in his own comic strips by the villain he created himself. Would be interesting to see someone take a crack at a proper port on GBA, similar to what Stealth did for Sonic 1. Here is a comparison video someone made of the two versions, though it doesn't do full justice to showing how badly the GBA version actually plays. Sonic and EWJ require precise platforming, so having accurate physics and collision detection is far more critical to being able to play them than a beat em up. It isn't as unplayable or horrific as Sonic Genesis (or even the Earthworm Jim games), but it is still bad. Plays a bit slower as well, with further slowdown and framerate problems. Also got the traditional brightening many GBA ports got too.īut unlike the DKC ports which at least play similarly to the originals, Comix Zone also really crapped up the controls and hit detection. But beyond this, there are also a ton of missing frames of animation, visual effects (particularly lighting or water ripples) etc. All the backgrounds and sprites are smaller and lack their original detail. But like DKC, Comix Zone GBA instead scaled the graphics themselves to fit the smaller resolution.
GBA had a lower screen resolution than Genesis or SNES and developers generally chose to just crop the field of view for their ports. Comix Zone GBA reminds me of what they did to the DKC ports as well.
