The Game:
The Table of Enchantment is a fairly basic game, based on the recently re-released Disney film, Beauty and the Beast. Playing as Chip, Mrs Potts or Cogsworth, your task is to collect rose petals as you slide along the polished table top. Collect petals by sliding over them.
Your Health:
Make sure you avoid the candlesticks as these damage your health. Your health is displayed as a rose in the top left hand corner of the screen – each time it deteriorates, another petal falls off. The game ends when you have no petals left. Occasionally, you can collect a mirror which reboosts your health.
Levels:
Each level has a time limit – if you get to the end of the time without losing all your health, you go to the next level. As far as I can see, all the levels are the same, only faster each time.
Controls:
You control your character using the left and right arrow keys and the space bar to jump. It really is that easy!! Once your eyes get used to the speed, you’ll be fine.
Scoring:
You get 2 points per petal you collect on the first level, 3 per petal on the 2nd level, 4 on the 3rd and so on. At the end of the game, you get double your score in NP.
Tips:
I’d recommend always playing as Chip – as the smallest character, he’s easiest to control and is less clumsy when jumping over candles so his health lasts longer. He also fits through the gaps between candles easier than Mrs Potts or Cogsworth.
It’s always worth collecting the mirrors, even if you don’t need them for health as they add 10 points to your score. If there’s a choice between a mirror and a petal, go for the mirror every time.
Candles are best avoided by going round them as you’re less likely to hit them. If you do have to jump over them, go for the ones that have fallen over rather than the standing ones as they are easier. When jumping standing candles, try not to jump right over the center of them as that is the tallest part.
Where there are 2 candles together, you’re best jumping over the gap between them rather than one candle or other – there’s more clearway for you. You could try just going through the gap but there’s a chance you’ll hit the bottom of the candlestick which you’d miss if you jumped!
To be honest, there’s not much to say about this game – just give yourself a few practice runs to get used to it and away you go! Happy petal collecting. – Racho
