The New Adventures of The Sweet Treets: Louise's World

The New Adventures of The Sweet Treets: Louise's World is a 3D action-adventure game developed by Kubokartoonz Interactive. It is based on the Sweet Treets franchise, and uses the character designs from The New Adventures of The Sweet Treets. The game was released for the PlayStation in November 1995.

It is one of the first games to have a true 3D environment, as well as one of the first games to have 3D rendered cutscenes. The cast from the television series reprise their roles as their respective characters.

Gameplay and setting
Though the game has no true plot, it appears to take place during a big party which Louise and the Treets have been invited to.

Louise's World is divided into five different levels. Playing as Louise, the player is allowed to freely rome around each dome looking for things to do. The player can pick up collectibles, discovery minigames and challenges hidden in the domes, and earn rewards by completing them. When controlling Louise, the player can move, jump and do a set of actions if Louise is next to an object that can be interacted with. The game's camera is always fixed to behind Louise.

In addition to the main five domes, there is a sixth beige-coloured dome called the Junior Dome. Designed for young children, the dome has no objectives, and is instead centred around exploring the area and seeing what actions Louise can perform when interacting with certain objects.

Domes

 * Green Dome - a grassy area with a black sky. It features a tower which has a lot of giant colourful blocks.
 * Yellow Dome - a desert area with a large maze, as well as a giant pyramid.
 * Red Dome - a dark world with a cave-like skybox. It features a hot air balloon which the player can enter and see the dome from a high distance.
 * Blue Dome - a water-filled dome with long tunnels and 3D models of fish swimming.
 * Pink Dome - a large pink mansion with moving platforms and scenery.
 * Junior Dome - resembling a large dollhouse, it features a lot of objects that are scattered throughout the environment that Louise can interact with.

The Blue and Pink Domes are required to be unlocked. The Blue Dome is unlocked after getting a bronze star in the Balloon Challenge and clearing the Friend Challenge in the first three domes, whilst the Pink Dome is unlocked after doing the same in the Blue Dome.

Friend Challenges
Every main dome in the game has a mission that involves a character from The New Adventures of The Sweet Treets giving Louise and the Treets a task, which can be completed at any time after talking to the character.

Balloon Challenges
Every main dome in the game also has a big button that matches the colour of the dome. When pressed, it activates the Balloon Challenge, which causes six balloons to appear in fixed areas in a small area. The objective is to pop all of the balloons by running into them. The player is given a gold, silver or bronze star depending on how fast they clear the challenge. The Junior Dome has a white button that causes white ballons to spawn, but pressing it does not trigger a Balloon Challenge.

Bonus Challenges
A hidden Bonus Challenge is hidden in each of the main domes, which are performed by triggering a certain action in the environment. The aim is to get as much points as possible. Bonus Challenges disappear once the player has played them - the only way to make them re-appear is to leave the dome and re-enter it.

Item and collectibles
There are two collectibles in Louise's World; Orbs and Gems, both of which are coloured depending on the dome the player is playing in. Gems are scattered around each dome, whilst orbs are hidden, and the player has to perform certain actions to make them appear. There are a hundred Orbs in each dome. Orbs never appear again once they are collected, though Gems do.

Gems can be used in the game's Shop Mode, where the players can make Louise run slightly faster and jump slightly higher, and buy concept art and other media based on the franchise.

Development
A Sweet Treets video game for the SNES and Game Boy started development in 1993, but was cancelled after Taylor Ridley was unimpressed with the direction the developers went with the games. A build of the demo was leaked online in August 2021.

Though developed by Kubokartoonz Interactive, none of the team behind The New Adventures of The Sweet Treets were involved in the development of Louise's World, though Ashley Maverick and Taylor Ridley would occasionally observe game production and playtest the game on occasions.

Louise's World had a short development span of only six months. According to Louise's voice actress Sharlie Deem, the voice recording for the characters was the last thing to be added to the game, and was only done mere weeks before its release.

Reception
Louise's World received mixed yet somewhat positive reviews. On Metacritic, the game has an average rating of 66 based on 5 reviews. Reviews of the game mostly praised the game's graphics, vibrant worlds and controls, though some felt the game was too short, had an awkward camera and physics, and played more like an enhanced tech demo than an actual video game. Reviewing the game on the 25th anniversary, Open Eagle noted that the game "looks really impressive (graphic-wise) for an early PS1 title" though noted that it resembled "a cheap educational PC game that you would play in school back in the nineties and noughties".
