Milon's Secret Castle (GB)

In Milon's Secret Castle, players control Milon, a young man who possesses the unique ability to shoot bubbles. Milon's objective is to rescue Princess Elsie from a mysterious castle, where she is held captive by an evil force. The game is a side-scrolling platformer where players must navigate through challenging levels, defeat enemies, and uncover hidden secrets.

Milon's primary weapon is his bubbles. He can shoot bubbles in various directions to attack enemies. What makes the bubbles special is that they are not only used for dealing damage but can also destroy certain obstacles or reveal hidden items, and even secret shops. Finding these shops is crucial, as Milon can use the collected coins to purchase upgrades there. Upgrades include increasing the power and range of his bubbles, extending his health bar, or buying special items like boots for higher jumps, or armor to reduce damage.

Each level features a complex structure with many hidden passages and secret areas. Players need to thoroughly explore every nook and cranny to find coins, power-ups, and most importantly, the doors leading to the next stage or the shops. Enemies in the game are diverse, ranging from small creatures to large bosses that require specific strategies to defeat. Milon's Secret Castle is well-known for its high difficulty and requires players to memorize the locations of hidden items as well as how to overcome each obstacle. Patience and exploration skills are key to success in Milon's quest to rescue the princess.
