Marchen Maze Japan is a colorful isometric action-shooter released for the Arcade in 1988 by Namco. Drawing heavy inspiration from Alice in Wonderland, players control a young girl named Alice as she navigates floating platform stages, firing bubbles to knock bizarre enemies over the edge before time runs out.
How to Play
Guide Alice through each stage, defeating enemies and reaching the boss to clear the level. Because the platforms float in an isometric space, careful movement is essential to avoid falling into the abyss. Use the arrow keys to move Alice around the map, and press the Z and X keys to jump and fire your bubble weapon.
Tips
- Your bubbles do not just damage enemies; they push them back. Use this to easily knock them off the edges of the stages.
- If you hold down the fire button, you can charge up a larger bubble for a more powerful attack.
- Watch your step! Falling off the platform instantly costs a life, which is often a bigger threat than the enemies themselves.
