Super Crate Box 20.5Mb
Please don’t be put off by the rather plain title. This is a delightfully fun and lively platform game, winning an accolade for excellent design in this year’s IGF Indie contest. If it hadn’t been up against some patently very commercial games, it would be up amongst the overall winners, for sure!
“Grab your baseball cap and loosen your pants, it's time to fight endless hordes of enemies and collect every weapon crate you can. Prepare for an arcade delight with interesting, refreshing game mechanics, cracking retro art and a terribly hip chiptune soundtrack.”
Dodge and slay the enemies, of which there are more than plenty, and grab every crate you can to get more points and upgrade your firepower. And - If you do brilliantly, you can upload your score online. This game is just loads of breezy, light-hearted fun!
To make things decidedly interesting, every time you pick up a box, another one appears somewhere else. There's this crazy twist too: each box you pick up randomly changes your current weapon, forcing you to improvise with every change of weapon.
Pick up enough crates and you get tons of new crazy weapons, new stages, and other extras such as playable characters to play around with. You’ll probably die a lot playing this game, but for weapons bonuses and to unlock new stages, you’ll have to collect enough boxes consecutively, without dying!
There’s a tutorial, you restart instantly when you die, and oh, it gets maddeningly, maddeningly difficult almost from the word go! You know, I’ll give it just one more try, several hundred goes later . . . ! Outstanding!
This game is all the rage right now, and if you haven't heard of it, before today, download it straight-away and give it a blast! It's a real hoot!
If you let any monster reach the pit of fire at the bottom of the screen, it turns bright red and fuming mad. These ticked off monsters are faster, deadlier, and re-spawn at the top of the screen alongside new creatures coming your way. It’s a really great frenetic and highly manic time-waster that hopefully, will allow you enough time (just!) to complete any out-standing work!
