What's It About?
In GUMMY BEARS MAGICAL MEDALLION, players take the role of a gummy bear who has to chase after the evil King Sour Berry and make sure the kingdom remains strong and prosperous. The story is not a pivotal part of the game. Instead, players mostly focus on traveling through colorful environments and managing the platforms and puzzles found throughout the kingdom. There are 12 different levels to explore, and each is filled with a unique set of confections and a sugary landscape.
Is It Any Good?
Gummy Bears Magical Medallion functions like a standard platformer game. It has all the requisite elements, including: a good number of levels; a mix of straightforward walking/exploring and puzzle-solving; and a practice-makes-perfect style of gameplay. In addition, the aesthetic of the candy and chocolate world is both fun and unique.
However, the actual gameplay feels formulaic and unoriginal and doesn't do much to inspire or challenge players. The end result is a game that's fun and interesting but not overly exciting or rewarding. Amateur players will likely get some enjoyment from this title, but more seasoned players may leave feeling unfulfilled.
