Atlus took its Puzzle Boy series, known in the West through Kwirk and Amazing Tater, in a different direction with this 1991 Game Boy release. Instead of the self-contained sliding-block rooms of its predecessors, Spud's Adventure is a top-down action-adventure with light role-playing elements. The story sends Spud up the Far Tower to rescue Princess Mato from the villain Devi, floor by floor.
The game keeps some of the series' puzzle DNA in how rooms are laid out, but the emphasis shifts to exploring, fighting off monsters, and working out how to reach the next part of the tower. It is one of the more obscure Atlus titles from the company's early handheld years, released before Atlus became widely known for its role-playing series. Anyone who enjoyed the grid logic of Kwirk will recognize the art style and the vegetable cast, but should expect an adventure rather than a straight puzzle game.
Tips for Spud's Adventure
Survey each new room before acting; layouts often hide the route forward behind an obstacle you need to deal with first.
Keep mental notes of floors you have cleared, since the tower is one connected climb rather than separate levels.
