Grinch is a platformer released in 2000 for the Game Boy Color. The game centers around the main objective of navigating the Grinch through various levels to sabotage Christmas preparations and collect stolen presents. Players progress by overcoming enemies, avoiding traps, and solving simple puzzles.
The pace of the game is steady, combining exploration with timed challenges that require precise jumping and movement. A unique mechanic in Grinch involves using different power-ups that grant abilities such as enhanced jumping or temporary invincibility, which help the character advance through increasingly difficult stages.
One distinctive feature of Grinch is its faithful adaptation of the iconic character’s mischievous personality, reflected in the game’s design and level themes. The use of festive yet slightly dark visuals enhances the unusual idea of playing as the antagonist in a Christmas-themed platformer on the handheld Game Boy Color system.
