June 2020 - Magic Pockets

[NinjaKat]

OCS/ECS Game of the Month for June, 2020, is Magic Pockets!

The Bitmap Kid was pretty much like every other kid on the block until the day when a Strange Old Man gave to Kid his pair of Trousers.  These Mystical Trousers bestowed upon the wearer the power of the Magic Pockets. Now Kid kicks and is in the house.  When a Kid's got bottomless pockets  in which to keep his toys and boy's things, he's so cool it hurts.

But then one day something bad happened.  Kid couldn't find his Best Toys. They has disappeared into the depths of his bottomless pockets!  Kid was not happy, but didn't show it because he was so cool.  He simply put his hand into his pocket and pulled out a Black Hole which he threw on the floor.  Kid stepped into the Black Hole and in an instant he reappeared
inside his own pockets in PocketLand!  All was not well.  The naughty PocketLand People had taken a liking to Kid's Best Toys and were playing with them without his say-so.  Kid was feeling dis'ed but in control so  visited the four corners of PocketLand and picked up his Best Toy from each.  His Bike was in the Caves and his Boxing Gloves were in the Jungle.
His Diving Helmet he found in the Lake and his Space Hopper was being bounced on the Mountain!

But Kid wasn't content with getting his Best Toys back.  He wanted to teach the PocketLand People a lesson.  So he did.  Using his PocketPower, Kid killed the Bad People along the way and stole their Sweet Things and their Magic Items which he used to his advantage before transporting  himself home in time to catch the all-night rave.  He then lived happily
and coolly ever after.  Until the next time...

Mate!
You deserve this one! That's an awesome score.  I actually did not like this one at first, but it grew on me once I knew the game's mechanics a bit better.  Will be returning to this one again, and it will be installed on my NinjaKat permanently for sure.

In the end I really enjoyed this game, and will be playing more of it I am sure.
Thanks Jacob for a great competition this month, but in the end you were just unbeatable!  A well deserved win!
