Don't Catch the Herp

What...?

What did I just play?

Don't Catch the Herp must be one of the stupidest and most asinine flash games that I have played recently. And I love it!

What is this game? Lets break it down.

In and of itself thee gameplay is bland and overdone beginning with sidescroller, frogger style, and interesting driver sim and ending with a multi-pathed ending. Without the crazy story that this game has, I would have never given it a second glance.

You play as the generic male protagonist. He means a lady at the club and it turns out she has Herpes. You are then forced to run for your life and risk death or herpes on the way to freedom. And frankly, after seeing the she-beasts face, I don't know which one is worse!

Pokemon Tower Defense

So I have played all the Pokemon games. and I mean ALL OF THEM. Or at least I thought I had. I stumbled across this little bad boy a few weeks ago and just now got around to playing it.

HOLY CRAP

It combines two of my favorite gaming elements. Pokemon and Pokemon (bet you thought I was going to say tower defense). It meshes Tower Defense and Pokemon together almost flawlessly. You get to choose one of the three starters and you can capture Pokemon along the way. Fucking perfect.

Whats great is that when you go to catch Pokemon, it only needs to get down to the red, no Sleep or Paralyze status needed and no button mashing either.

As your Pokemon progress in levels (which requires money to activate), they gain more attacks (duh). Now non-damaging attacks, such as Sand-attack and String Shot are key to winning certain maps. These attacks allow you to slow down, decrease the defense and prevent enemy Pokemon from carrying certain items.

Now the main "story" , if you can call it that, is to prevent Team Rocket's Pokemon from stealing the rare candies. Original, I know.

This game is great. gives a fresh edge to the Tower Defense genre. For sure something to check out.

Flight

Holy Carp Ladies and Gentlemen, this game blew my damn mind. Flight is one of those games that you literally cant stop playing. During my play through of the game I only recorded the first ten minutes or so, but I didn't stop playing for the better part of 2 hours.

I had to ask myself, what makes this game so damn good? I came up with three things:

• Style
• Progression
• Music

 Lets break down what I mean.


Style: This game has a great flair to it. Not just in graphics, but in playability as well. It is one of those games where you take the item ( a paper airplane in this instance) and toss it as hard as you can across the screen. Now these games are almost a dime a dozen and for the most part most games in this genre are poop. But this game is a diamond in the rough. It has all the things that are consistent in  the genre, items that boost you as you get close to the ground, negative wind effects, etc. But Its layout and design is far superior. As well, it has its own sets of upgrades and achievements which are an added bonus.

Progression: The progression of the game is great. Each level is set in a major city, London, Paris, etc. You have to travel 1000 meters or more to progression and each "toss" of the plane adds meters to the total counter. Each upgrade you get helps and there are all awesome as well. Magic Rainbow Stars that give boosts and an engine on a paper airplane? It doesn't get much more awesome than that.

Music: The Music style on this game is great. Mellow and catchy. Not much to say other than its awesome. I find that when commenting on a game in real time, the music definitely effects how you speak and such. Very condusive to the relaxed playing style and awesome atmospheric effects.

This game is really really good and I would recommend it above all other flash games I have played recently. GO CHECK IT OUT NOW.

Saloon Brawl

This is one of the better flash games I've reviewed yet. Saloon Brawl is, as the title suggests, a brawling 3D Cowboy game.

Its a pretty standard brawl game, with a punch, grab, and block command. You progress through the levels knocking out all the enemies. The enemies will fight each other until you get near and then you pull agro. Each level you get stronger and stronger enemies, as expected.

Once you deal a certain amount of damage you can use your special, which is a shoryuken and then an AOE knock back attack. Its useful for clearing out enemies in tight spots and just wrecking shit.

The two items that drop are a sheriffs badge (which gives 200 pts) and a Jug of moonshine (which restores health).

Most of the environment is destructible and you can pick up and through almost everything, including people.

Good game, and worth the time.

Fireboy & Watergirl 3 in: The Ice Temple

Since the last two games I looked at have been shooters, I decided to change it up today and look at puzzle game today.

Fireboy and Watergirl (Originality is rich in game titles these days) is a very interesting game to say the least. You control two characters at the same time. Watergirl with the WASD keys and Fireboy with the Arrow Keys.

 Its a 2D platform puzzle game. Try saying that five times fast.

You have to maneuver Fireboy and Watergirl around the map over obstacles to collect gems and get yo their doors. Your score is based off the time it took you and how many gems you get. A simple enough concept if you were to use one character, but using two characters at once adds a whole extra element.

Really worth a try, if you're a masochist like me.

Ricochet Kills 2

Ever feel like pulling some Wanted Style killing and slaying multiple enemies with one bullet, then Ricochet Kills 2 is the game for you.

All good flash games have more than 20 levels, this is just an unspoken rule. RK2 delivers with 50 levels and a level editor if you are the creative type. The main premise of the game is to kill as many NPCs as you can with the least amount of bullets. These bullets ricochet off of the environment for a certain length of time until they despawn. Like all puzzle games you have use the destructible environment (like tnt and explosive barrels) to manipulate and win.

Its a good game with a decent amount of playablity. It will definitely  keep you entertained for a few coffee breaks.

GunBlood - Western Shootout

This being the first post on this site I thought that I'd give a bit of a rundown on what I plan on Doing here.

Monday, Thursday, and Saturday I will review a flash game and give my impression of the game and in the future I may include a video of my commentary over the game play. But for now lets look at this game. GunBlood - Western Shootout

GunBlood - Western Shootout is a side view shooter game in the style of Bowman and AppleShooter. The game itself is less than a 5 minute play (that's if you don't die a bunch like I did.)

The controls are simple, point and click. You have to have your cursor over the revolver in the lower left corner before the match will start, to simulate some kind of quick draw idea.

 You go through 10 rounds of fights with the AI and a few bonus rounds. As expected the AI gets a little better each time, but not smarter. As you prgress the only thing the AI seems to do different is shot faster, which really doesnt do much. Yiou have a very good chance of surviving the onslaught and then just picking the AI off with on good shot when they are standing there out of bullets.

All in all, not a bad game. Good to play if you want to burn time, but no real replay value.
