Widget (USA)

In the game Widget, players take on the role of Widget, a small but brave alien with the noble mission of thwarting the evil plans of Dr. Muggs. This nefarious doctor is planning to transform planets across the galaxy into building materials for his empire, and Earth is his next target. Widget's mission is to journey through various worlds to defeat Dr. Muggs's henchmen and ultimately confront the doctor himself.

The unique and central aspect of Widget's gameplay is the main character's ability to transform. By collecting special icons, Widget can change into several different forms, each offering distinct abilities and advantages. For instance, the Widget Stone form enhances attack power and defense, allowing you to break through stone blocks or withstand attacks better. The Widget Mouse form, on the other hand, enables Widget to move swiftly and squeeze through tight spaces that the basic form cannot access. There's also the Widget Fish form for underwater exploration and the Widget Bird form that allows for flight. Flexibly and timely utilizing these transformations is key to overcoming obstacles, solving environmental puzzles, and dealing with various types of enemies.

The levels in Widget are diverse, ranging from dense jungles and bustling cities to outer space bases or even underground caverns. Each level presents unique enemies and challenges, requiring players to adapt and make the most of Widget's abilities. Combat primarily involves shooting energy projectiles from the basic form or using specific skills of the transformed states. At the end of each level, players will face a challenging boss battle, demanding careful planning and quick reflexes. The ultimate goal is to defeat Dr. Muggs and restore peace to the universe.
