Fun Land is one of the many games full of neat concepts that is ruined by major bugs.
It's one of those Zeux games that's divided into top view and sidescrolling segments, but it branches off early into two paths depending on whether you jump off a spaceship or stay on. You end up completing effectively the same objective, but with different boards and endings for each path!
The first space battle is winnable, but for some reason a game over is triggered frequently when you defeat all the ships. Not always. You have 7 lives, but the game teleports you to the game over board if you lose even one. This makes one board nearly impossible, but there's still a small chance of winning anyway.
Also there's one area where you fire a stationary missile launcher. You're supposed to control the missile using the WASD key cluster, but the game never explains this. You can't proceed unless you know what to do, and most people wouldn't think to try it.
The music is all frequently ripped music and barely worth noting, but some of the game's environments and graphical effects are kind of cool. Like the part where you jump off a pom pom held by a giant. And the Blob Bus. That and the branching story get this 2 stars. Too bad about the serious design flaws.
