Devil World is a single-screen action game that takes some cues from Pac-Man (1980, Arcade).
+ Assorted mechanics all work together beautifully and create tension-filled, multi-layered gameplay.
+ Moving playfield is similar to Squish (1986, Game & Watch), and it's fun having to constantly re-evaluate your tactics.
+ Bonus items are a clever risk-reward idea, as while they gain you points they also temporarily stop you in your tracks.
+ Above-average graphics for the time, excellent Black Box style jingles, and the two-player mode is a nice addition.
- Would have benefited from a few additional stage layouts, as despite the enjoyable gameplay it does get repetitive.
- Bonus Rounds give chances to earn extra lives, but there's little deviation from the main stages and they lack imagination.
