Guru Logic Champ, Translated from the Japanese by Sorrel Tilley. Original Japanese title is guru roji champu, where guru is onomatopoeia for rotation, roji is short for ‘logic’, and champu is the name of the beaked blobs that populate the game.
Back cover of the box
Shoot, Suck, Turn, Complete the picture!
Suddenly, a great disaster occurs!
“It’s terrible! Throughout the city, things are refusing to turn!”
The Champ Brothers “Champ 1 and 2” have risen to solve this problem, but what will be their fate…
The game
After pressing Start and choosing the story mode you will see the file screen:
Choose the file to play!
FILE 1
Not yet played
FILE 2
Not yet played
Delete File
If you have already created a file, selecting it will take you to the main game, otherwise you will see the name creation screen:
Create a name!
_ _ _ _ _ Confirm with Start Button
a i u e o ma mi mu me mo
ka ki ku ke ko ya yu yo
sa shi su se so ra ri ru re ro
ta chi tsu te to wa wo n
na ni nu ne no small characters; tsu ya yu yo
ha hi fu he ho small characters; a i u e o
L AB KANA R
Characters will first appear in hiragana, then in katakana if R is pressed, or the Roman alphabet if L is pressed. If you wish to spell your name using Japanese characters, katakana is traditional for foreign words. Press Start and you will see a confirmation message:
Is this alright?
Yeah
No way!
Answering in the affirmative will return you to the file screen. If you leave the name field blank and press Start, your name will be set as ‘Champ’.The black screen with a Champ in the bottom right corner that pops up is a saving screen (the message simply says saving…).
Selecting Delete File and then choosing a file will present you with the following screen:
Is it alright to delete File?
Yeah
No way!
A new game begins with the following cinematic:
This is the city where the Champs live
Every day was peaceful and just like always, life was uneventful…
But then, one day…
Something appeared that would threaten the peace of this city
“Something must be done!
It makes me sick just to see something that turns!
That’s why I’ve stuck to it and made all manner of inventions!
I changed TV channel controls and phone dials to push buttons!
When it came to planes, I switched from propellors to jets!
However, this city is surely still packed with turning things.
We are going to make a big crash! Now get out of here!”
“It’s terrible! All through the city various things have stopped turning!”
“Calm down, lad, leave it to them!”
Th-That’s…
Controlling the sensational jar with overflowing friendship power…
The Champ Brothers!
You will then see the rescue select screen. The building in the bottom left corner is labeled ‘Hakase’s Labo’, which means ‘Professor’s Lab’ and this functions as the options menu:
“You rang?”
Explanation of the Rules
“I will conduct an explanation of the rules”
Gallery
“You can view the cinematics you have seen up to now”
????
“If you meet the requirements, you can choose this”
After completing all 335 puzzles the ???? option will change to
Champ’s Bodyguard
“You can play the Champ’s Bodyguard!”
Choosing ‘Explanation of the Rules” will take you to the next screen:
Explanation of the Operation
“I will teach the method of operation”
Choose this option and you will be given the following explanation:
“Well then, let’s explain the game, shall we?
With the D-pad you can move left and right
The L and R buttons rotate
The A button launches a block!
The B button sucks them back up
You can’t fire to places when there is nothing there, nor to a space right in front of you
The number of blocks is predetermined by the stage
It’s a shame, but if you have no blocks, you can’t fire
Send the blocks to the correct place…
…and create a picture the same as the one on the left
Oops! I forgot to mention…
If you place a block in the correct location, it will turn blue
If you place a block in the wrong location, it will turn red
The block’s colour can change
You remember it well, right?
That’s all for the game explanation
From here, let’s remember through practice”
Holes and Rubber Walls
“I will teach you about holes and rubber walls”
Choose this option and you will be given the following explanation:
“This time I will explain about
“holes” and “rubber walls”
Please listen carefully
First, look here
Some holes have appeared here
Therefore you can’t place blocks on top of them
But blocks can pass over the top of the holes
Next is this wall
This wall is made of rubber
Therefore blocks will bounce right back
How was that?
Did you catch it all?
Well, if you try it, I’m sure you’ll understand
Anyway, take it easy!”
Pushable Walls
“I will teach you about pushable walls”
Choose this option and you will be given the following explanation:
“Well then, let’s explain the final “pushable wall”, shall we?
Take a look at this
This is a pushable wall
If you throw a block at it, you can push it
If you throw a block when the pushable walls are lined up
The last wall in the row will move
If you throw a block when the pushable wall cannot move anymore
The block will come bouncing back
If you move a pushable wall into a corner
There will be nowhere else to push it
So be careful
That’s all for the pushable wall explanation
Well then, I wish you good luck
Choosing the ‘Gallery’ option will take you to the following screen (cinematics appear in this menu after you first see them in the main game):

Rescue 01 Beginning
Rescue 01 Ending

Push “Up, down, left, right, and A” to cut down the ninjas that appear!

I’ll use my ESP, cut where I point!
Stage 3

Chop them all down!
Stage 4

The smell of sweat is stinging my eyes!

The world will be destroyed!”

Then… We’ll die too!?
I- I’m Sorry…
There is one way to save the earth…
Me…
Launch me from that jar!

It’s the only way!
Destroy the moon!
It’s my fault it turned out like this…
It’s for the good of this lovely planet, I beg you!
Damn!
If I’d only dieted more!”
“Use my mouth!”
“Brother!
If you do that, you’ll…”
“It’s ok, let me do it!”
“Brother? Brother!?
Brotherrrrrrrr!”
“This…
This is how the earth will be saved…”

Appearing recently on digital storefronts, this digital exhibition coincides with the 20th anniversary re-release and bringing together of Radiohead's Kid A and Amnesiac albums. It's been made in collaboration between the band and Epic Games, though it's also very quick to tell you that it is not a game, epic or otherwise. That, I think, is a mixture of nervous expectation-setting, alongside its creators selling both games, and what they've created, short.
Unless you're one of those sorts...-

by Charles ROnce upon a time, there was a Freeloader. It was late, as usual, but everyone waited with baited breath, because it promised much.
And so it came to pass, the Freeloader finally arrived, and oh what gifts it brought. The ability to de-zone everyone's Gamecubes. Finally, an easy (and cheap) way for anyone in the world to play games from anywhere else in the world. It was welcomed with open arms.
Datel, after many delays, have now released their de-zoning disc. Twice. The f...-

by ArchivesDescribing the greatness of Goldeneye isn't the easiest task in the world. If you were to show it to a gamer who has recently been showered with PC First Person Shooters such as Far Cry, then they'd scoff at the low-polygon landscapes, the poor digitised textures of Robbie Coltrane and the frame rate equivalent to the IQ of a table leg. They'd be missing the point though, as levels such as "Surface" are the forebears to Far Cry's grand vistas.

by ArchivesAs a first visit to any kind of games show, it was going to be very interesting to see what all the fuss was about. I remember reading about the Tokyo Game Show among other shows in magazines years back and having a sense of delight and amazement. Did you ever dream of going to a game show in Japan? I'm sure it's something most avid gamers can associate with. On Sunday the 28th of September, my wife and I headed towards Makuhari messe from western Tokyo, a journey of 2 hours. When we finally ...
