40 Winks or Ruff and Tumble as it's called in Germany is a fun but scary video game for the old PS1. It's not really a horror game but it does have some scary moments.
In this game you take control of either Ruff or his sister Tumble and you need to free the Winks from the evil NiteKap and his assistant called Threadbear. Winks are small and white creatures and they're responsible for our good dreams. However there are also Hood-Winks, small green creatures who are responsible for our nightmares. NiteKap's plan is to transform every Wink into a Hood-Wink.
Through the game you can collect many things like Cogs, Zs, Moons, Dreamkeys and tokens. The cogs allow you to enter locked doors if you collect the right amount. Zs represent you life and if you run out of Zs it's Game Over. You need to collect Dreamkeys in order to proceed to the next level. They come in 3 colors : red,blue and green. There are 2 types of tokens: R and T tokens. R of course for Ruff and T for Tumble. If you collect 10 of them you'll get an extra life. The moons allow you to use a special attack called the 'Scream Attack'.
Speaking of attack. There are 3 ways to attack: a general one, a butt-stomp attack and the screaming one. Oh and if you jump into the jack-in-the-box you'll come out in a costume. You can be a ninja, a caveman and others.The siblings have different attacks in their costumes. And you can press certain switches only in these forms.
The game is a solid platformer. It's not too hard but at some points it is tricky.The levels are great. You travel through different time periods like Pirate time, Dinosaur time, The future and so on. It's not very long but it's worth replaying because some ares only Ruff can enter and some only Tumble. The bosses are good. The music is music in my ears.
I really recommend this game for people for like cute things and love platformers. Oh and the game has some really nice cutscenes.
