Summary
Henry Hatsworth is the number one adventurer in the Pompous Adventurer's Club. As such, he is often to be found exploring the darker recesses of the planet in search of marvellous and mysterious artifacts such as the legendary golden hat. It is on the quest for this hat that Henry, dogged as usual by the number two adventurer Leopold Charles Anthony Weasleby the Third, discovers the portal to the puzzle realm.
It is the interaction of the two worlds that gives Henry Hatsworth its main gameplay mechanic. The top screen of the DS represents the real world, where Henry engages in side scrolling platform gameplay, the likes of which you'll fondly remember from yesteryear. The bottom screen is the Puzzle Realm, where you must play a challenging game of "three or more" block-based destruction.
However, it's the way creatures can climb to the top of the Puzzle Realm and enter the real world, or be dispatched by Henry to fall back down again that ties the two screens together. By dispatching creatures in the Puzzle Realm, you unlock power-ups and super attacks, including a giant robot suit.
With over 30 levels, a huge number of enemies and some flamboyantly exaggerated end-level bosses combined with a challenging puzzle game that interacts with the platforming action, Henry Hatsworth will keep puzzle-loving DS owners busy for quite a while.
