Wasp! - Atari 7800

Wasp is a good looking game that just needed a bit more complexity to be a really fun game as well. As it stands you avoid wasps and pick up mushrooms. Once you collect them all you move on to the next level where you do it again. I feel that power ups like speed, invincibility, or maybe a 4 -5 bug spray gun could've made things more interesting. More diversity in enemies, maybe a bonus screen where you drop the mushrooms from the top of the screen into a moving bag on the bottom, I don't know I'm just spitballing. I do like the sprites and feel the main character sprite is good enough to be a mascot of sorts for other games. But simplistic and repetitive gameplay keep this one from being more than a half hours worth of fun at a time.

Wasp! maybe a bit plain, but I've found it excellent for anyone who enjoys chasing high scores. My high praise to developer Mark Ball on this first foray into Atari 7800 development!

I like this games, it's fun to just play and try to beat your own high score. If Mark were to male WASP 2.0 I would suggest adding a sound or visual effect when you get stung (other than your life line simply decreasing) and add some "magic mushrooms" maybe one that fills your life line back up and one that gives you an extra life. I am rating this a 4 for originality and the skill to make a 7800 game from scratch, I am leaving 1 for room to grow.

Nice try. I love you with God's love. and I will hug you. But I don't like your game sir.

WASP is a simple but fun game to play the object is simple collect all the mushrooms in a level to advance on to the next level while avoiding those pesky wasp's that just want to ruin your day by stinging you. LOL
