AmigaOverview
Skweek is a top-down action puzzle game from French developers Loriciel. It was initially released on the Amiga, Atari ST and Amstrad CPC computers, systems popular in Europe, and later ported to the PC Engine and Game Gear by Japanese company Victor Entertainment in 1991. The Game Gear version would then get ported to Europe and North America by Sega with the new name Slider.
The goal in Skweek, similar to other puzzle games like Q*Bert, is to color in every block on the map from blue to pink. Skweek needs to avoid the various enemies on the map in order to complete his task. He can collect power-ups and point items, as well as finding shortcuts to the next level and a series of four collectible teddy bears which appear randomly around the stage. If Skweek finds all four bears, he can skip to the next stage without completing the one he is on.
The game was followed by a graphically enhanced sequel: Super Skweek.
