Adventures of Lolo 3 is a classic puzzle game released for the NES in 1991 by HAL Laboratory. In this entry, the king of Eggerland has turned the inhabitants to stone, and players must guide the heroic blue and pink blobs, Lolo and Lala, across a sprawling overworld to save them. Unlike its predecessors, this game features a world map that lets you choose your path through its 100+ devious, single-screen puzzle rooms. You’ll need sharp logic and quick reflexes to collect all the Heart Framers, grab the jewel from the chest, and progress to the next challenge.
How to Play
Your goal in each room is to collect all the Heart Framers, which opens the chest holding the key to the next area. To do this, you must push blocks, use Magic Shots to turn enemies into eggs, and avoid deadly traps.
- Arrow Keys: Move
- Z / X: Fire Magic Shots (when collected)
- Enter: Start / Pause
- Shift: Give up and restart the current room
Tips
- Don’t shoot everything: Enemies are often essential to solving the puzzle. You might need to turn an enemy into an egg to use as a raft across water, or push an egg to block a Medusa’s line of sight.
- Restart quickly: It’s easy to push a block into a corner or get trapped. Use the Select button (Shift) to immediately restart the room without waiting to be caught.
- Learn enemy behavior: Each enemy has strict rules. For example, Skulls only awaken when all Heart Framers are collected, while Medusas will instantly zap you if you cross their horizontal or vertical path without cover.
