Kwik Snax
Kwik Snax is an arcade-style video game developed by the British software company Codemasters. It was released in 1990 for several platforms, including the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, and Commodore 64. The game is a sequel to the popular title Dizzy – The Ultimate Cartoon Adventure, featuring the character Dizzy who is an anthropomorphic egg.

Gameplay[edit | edit source]
In Kwik Snax, players control Dizzy through various mazes, collecting food items and avoiding enemies. The objective of each level is to collect all the food items to progress to the next stage. Players can push blocks to crush enemies or to clear paths. The game also features power-ups that can temporarily freeze enemies, making it easier for Dizzy to navigate through the maze.
The game is divided into several worlds, each consisting of a set of levels. As players progress, the difficulty increases, with enemies moving faster and the puzzles becoming more challenging. Kwik Snax also includes bonus levels where players can earn extra points by collecting special items.
