Gameplay
[edit]
Gameplay is virtually identical to the previousAdventures of Lolo(US), since both are compilations of puzzles fromEggerland: Meikyū no FukkatsuandEggerland: Sōzō he no Tabidachi.Some of the monster graphics were drawn differently, mainly Gol, Rocky, Skull, Medusa, and Don Medusa. Other differences include new puzzles and greater difficulty.
The game features a total of 50 different puzzle rooms; the player faces King Egger at the end. Also featured are four hidden Pro puzzle rooms, which are available for players who want to try very challenging rooms.[2][3]
The Japan-onlyAdventures of Lolohas mostly different and more difficult levels compared to the North American and European collection.
