Wibble World Giddy: Wibble Mania! is a charmingly chaotic freeware platform adventure released for the Amiga by Phil Ruston in the mid-90s. As the first entry in the cult Giddy series, it stands out as a clear and affectionate homage to the classic Dizzy games, like Treasure Island Dizzy and Fantasy World Dizzy. In fact, it’s more accurate to call it a Dizzy clone with a humorous twist.
The similarities are unmistakable: the egg-shaped protagonist, the inventory-based puzzle mechanics, the non-linear exploration, and even the structure of the game world all feel directly lifted from the Dizzy playbook. The influence goes even deeper — the music in Wibble Mania! is not just stylistically similar but outright copied (stolen?) from Fantasy World Dizzy, reinforcing the tribute-like nature of the project.
