Dizzy - Prince of the Yolkfolk for Android
Oh the nostalgia. Pretty much mirrors the original Amstrad version in terms of the story and collectables. Ironically the touch screen controls feel about the same as the keyboard controls on the Amstrad. A nice little game, short but fun. It's a shame Codemasters haven't brought more of the Dizzy games to Android. How about a new adventure?
And the risk i took was not a good idea. Just trying picking up spanner/wrentch and game frooze,reset and didnt save!!! I have a samsung galaxy s3. Sooo... who do i speak to to get a refund.? As i will be asking google for one for sure......just been given a refund!!!! Thankyou google.
It was really nice to play it after such a long time! I finished it, yuppy! OMG, so many memories came back to life while playing this game. Codemasters, you need to bring them all to Google store!
DHD good game, completed in 1H. But buggy. Screens take time to load and can sometimes end up making you stuck. At evil dizzy crashes when fall in pit
Nice to av retro again, remember the days on Sega mega drive but....very flawed & game cut down but then it's only a phone version not as large as the consoles were. Found frustrating and how the he'll do you get pass the thorny blockage in the castle? Help.
A game that you pay money for should be completable when i get to the princess dizzy gets stuck and can't jump this is a poor excuse for a game the developer's can't even proof read.... "little my little egg" just unacceptable would like a refund why should i pay for half a game?
Maybe its been fixed. All i know is that on my Note it works well. Spoke too soon! Weird graphical glitches broke my game. Luckily a reboot fixed it and i didn't lose my game progress. *update* way too short.
Wow, nostalgia overdrive. Takes me right back to being 8 years old again. Even better with the fact I'm not sitting there waiting for it to load. No bugs my end either (Nexus 4) runs smooth. Confused a bit over 'saving' the game, but you save it when you start, so if you left at any point and come back it asks if you want to continue from there. My ooonnnllyyy issue is, it's too short :( I completed it in an hour. There's pickups that arent needed, rug, mp3 player, teddy.. which led me to believe there was more.. so when it ended I was left feeling "Is that it?" so not quite the epic adventure of yesteryear but still enjoyable all the same.. please make more! and longer ones too!
The Game seems fine enough, I completed the original many times on my old spectrum. For me the music is wrong, maybe this is the music which came on the amiga or other platform but nostalgia wise I have to play it with the music off.
What happened? Looks like a shockwave web game with all the graphic bugs! Was expecting better, would be better of installing a emulator to play dizzy. very poor code masters
I purchased this app thinking it would be good I was enjoying the game play until it ended. If I had known it was this short would of never paid for it! This should be a free trial not a paid app. Needs update until then I warn do not purchase!!!!
This is hugely dumbed down and inferior to the 8 bit versions of this game. Unlimited lives and no bats? Also a poor menu system. Please just release spectrum or cpc versions for android as this is almost a waste of storage space. :-(
After and initial glitch which stopped me from completing the game I finally managed to complete it. Love the dizzy series and glad to see it back. That said the next scenes take a bit to load ruining the flow of the game
I love Dizzy but this is buggy and unworkable. I had to stop half way through due to falling through the floor, losing key items and invincible enemies. Huff
Samsung galaxy ace plus - game doesn't fit on screen, can hardly use controls. Bugs need fixing, falling through floor, walk too fast n get stuck between screens etc. Able to complete despite bugs. Great to play Dizzy again though, blast from past!
Plays well with a few clipping glitches. Very pretty graphical update over original. Shame it's so short to complete 100% in one sitting. Would love to see more Dizzy games tho... Magicland or Spellbound please!
A fantastic remake of a classic! Stays very true to the Amiga version and I hope we get Magicland Dizzy next, my all time favourite Amiga game. Ran into a bug here and there but nothing life shattering. The infinite lives is a nice touch considering its more fiddly playing on a phone. Kind of miss the titles of each screen but oh well. Now all I need is Elite to release the MSX versions of Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy and I am sorted!
Short, got stuck next to the princess and had to start from scratch. Annoying. No graphical glitches but sprite collision needs a lot of work.
Great fun, would love to see the others with this treatment. Did hit one bug on HTC one s but didn't affect me too bad.
Sadly unplayable on my Transformer. So many crashes, and now my game is corrupted because I was unable to move in any direction, until eventually Dizzy just drifted off the bottom of the screen. Such a shame.
Awesome remake! Great graphics and sound! I'm not sure if they cut a few corners and made the game shorter, but this doesn't matter in the end - my son LOVES this version.
It's a great idea to remake and re-release the Dizzy series but this is a poor remake. The graphics are nice but the gameplay and dialogue is dumbed down. It's also very buggy. Disappointing.
I'm so glad to see this game back and easily playable on the latest types of technology and devices. The app is great and runs very smoothly. If you've ever played this then definitely download it for your Android device and go through the enjoyment again. If you've never played it then definitely don't hesitate to install this incredibly addictive adventure game!
What a nostalgic adventure ported to the Android system just perfectly. But I don't understand why more people have not downloaded it its a perfectly amazing game. And to the developers why haven't we had any more ?? Magic land dizzy , treasure island , spellbound, and of course the very original dizzy . People are wanting these game . It would be ace if you could reply to this and let us know about ant future plans. Amazing work keep it up .
Great game of old remastered, however is only one level long before you finished it, probably about one hours game play which is not worth the £1.49. Didn't mind buying the game as i loved the original but feel cheated its not the full game!!!
Excellent game....except one thing...Its a bit short....please make another longer dizzy adventure....would pay for it.
Yeah yeah i remember dizzy back when he was just a lad on my old amiga. Then as a teen on the megadrive. This latest iteration though grumbles and wheezes like an old man. Trust me on this save your money, get an emulator and enjoy dizzy in his hey day. This feels like something codemasters work experience kids threw together in a weekend. Dont waste your time
This game is totally adorable. Found out about it through Ahoy's Dizzy retro video :)
This is a nice reminder of the old dizzy games, with updated graphics. However it is VERY short - I know the game is only just over £1 but still.. I finished this within 2 hours. The controls are a little twitchy & the lack of a option to manually save & to properly quit out of the game is a poor effort. This should be better. Would be worth the money if it was longer. However you may just be better off downloading a megadrive emulator and getting the fantastic dizzy rom for free until they sort this out.

I was a bit hesitant about this given other reviews, but the lure if Dizzy was too much. Like other reviews state, this game has serious graphical glitches when scrolling. Annoying, but not a gamebreaker, although twice it led me to get stuck so I had to reload the game. On one other occasion poor collision detection led me to get killed and respawn in the same place. Apart from these, its a classic Dizzy game, based on the original POTYF, but not a remake. However at 30 mins its too easy and too short
I bought this to relive my C64 days. First playthrough on my Galaxy S I couldn't use the thorn due to falling through the floor and dying. Started again on my Xoom and this time his movement bugged so now I can't jump and can only walk in a confined space. Even reloading the game makes no difference, so now played quite far twice and unable to complete. Total waste of time which is a shame, because it's actually pretty ok to play. This would be one star due to bugs, but it gets two stars because it rekindles childhood memories.

I'm giving this one star because it wouldn't give me a half star option. game was too short, too many extra items not used. I'm a dizzy fan and was very dissapointed.
Was really into it, then I got stuck at princess, can't use the game now, every time I go back on, just get stuck. Would be great if bugs were sorted.
I love this game I remember it onthe spectrum it was great then and it is great now. If I could I would give a thousand stars not just five.
Whenever I fall through a gap the game shuts down. Not what I expect when a pay for a game. I to will be seeking a refund.
Got paid version..really nice on tablet.only thing that bugs me why collect stars to stop gettin hint..would of been better to get stars then decide to get hint if needed...finshed game..3 stars only for being very very short and the hint system the way it tells u the answer
A bit buggy on ice cream sandwich. No way to quit out but the home button and then cancel through task manager and jokingly short for a dizzy game. I enjoyed what little time I did play of it and if they were to re-release say treasure idland/fantasy land or magicland dizzy I would definitely buy them

Old fan of the series so 5 stars. But sank into ground near cave entrance (boat screen) almost at the end of the game and due to save had to start from the very begining - so 4 stars. To everyone - jump over cave hole in this plase, don't just fall. To Codemasters - fix, please and add position alignment when saved game loads. Hope for Fantastic Dizzy remake :-) cause this one is too short.
