Gameplay
Before playing takes place there is a cutscene of a young boy outside his uncle's house. Once the boy goes inside the house, a scientist lets the boy try out his new machine which can allow him to change state. The machine works but something goes wrong and the machine explodes sending most of its parts everywhere. The boy must now using his new abilities go around all areas of his uncle's property and find all the missing cogs.
When the game starts, the player has a choice of which area to start in. The choices are: Laboratory, Garden, Sewer or Factory. There are 9 levels in each stage, each get harder as you go along. There are also hazards for each of the forms you change into: the rubber ball will deflate when it touches spikes, the rubber ball will burn when exposed to fire, the water drop will sink when in liquid, and the cloud can be sucked in by fans. The objective for each level is to find a cog which is hidden somewhere in the level. Once you have found all 36 cogs the uncle can fix the machine and Morph can change back to his normal form, a boy.
Development
It is a conversion of "Morph", designed and written on Amiga and ST for Flair Software by Peter Johnson with graphics by Phil Nixon and others. Flair created a PC conversion, and licensed the game to Millennium Interactive to enable console versions for MegaDrive and SNES to also be released.
Millennium handled the SNES conversion, and created additional levels for the game. Peter Johnson also wrote a MegaDrive version.
