What Whizz is
Whizz is an arcade game developed by Flair Software and released in 1994. It is available on PlayStation, Sega Saturn, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Amiga and DOS.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Whizz is one of the few 3D platformers to use an isometric viewpoint. The controls reflect this, with moving the controller to the right actually moving the character down and right, moving it down and right moving the character down directly, and so on. Each level is played out against a time limit, and the paths through the level aren't always clear-cut. You can avoid the baddies, which may be the best option, as killing them costs you some energy - this reduces the significance of the points system.
How it plays
It is played from a third person perspective. Its themes are action. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.
