Layla is a platform game by dB-Soft released in 1986 exclusively for Nintendo Famicom. It was marketed as a "maze action game", since levels are mostly non-linear and it's easy to get lost. The eponymous trigger-happy and cake-fueled heroine has to traverse eight asteroids full of various perils in order to rescue her partner Iris and apprehend an evil scientist who's behind all the havoc. The game's character design and Excuse Plot are strongly reminiscent of Dirty Pair franchise. Layla is known to non-Japanese players mostly thanks to one Game Center CX episode.In 2017 a Fan Sequel hack "The Iris Missions" was released, which also tweaks game's mechanics and features a completely new soundtrack.Surprisingly there's even an extensive fan-website in Japanese Layla no Asteria containing a walktrhough, trivia, tips and tricks.Completely unrelated to a female wrestler going by the same name. | |

Scrappy Mechanic | |
| Layla (Video Game) / int_bfe4e6b9 | comment |
Scrappy Mechanic - the aformentioned bottomless pits and switching between levels will reduce your inventory by half. The game also forces you to move on by spawning a nearly-invincible tornado if you didn't move the screen for about 30 seconds. Both mechanics were removed in The Iris Missions. The tornado might be destroyed with a hand grenade if you're lucky, which will net you full health, but this is very risky to pull off. | |
