Gumboy Crazy Adventures
Gumboy uses its extraordinary rubbery characteristics – rolling, bouncing, jumping, flying and floating, which in connection with the simple controls brings you loads of fun. And even more when you realize that GUMBOY changes its size, shape and material! It joins the game in the form of a sphere, cube or star. It will be filled with rubber, air or water…
Shlongg
Writer: Kaonashi
I couldn't resist reviewing a game called Shlongg. I thought to myself, "Any game with this name must be cool." However, after playing it, I realized how wrong I was. Shlongg is an over glorified version of the classic game Breakout. The premise is exactly the same - hit a ball towards a wall of bricks using a paddle. If the ball goes past the paddle, you lose a life. However, in Shlongg, the creators added a convoluted, overly detailed story for a simple game.
The Earth is under threat of an invasion by the Shlongg Dominion. Stop the invasion by entering the Shlongg hive, composed of chambers that house energy crystals and larvae. To proceed to the next chamber, use your ship to destroy the crystals and larvae by deflecting an energy sphere towards them. If the sphere flies past you, an alarm goes off and you're vaporized. When you clear a chamber, you move to the next one via a wormhole. When hit by the sphere, the energy crystals sometimes release Power Seeds, which can either help or hurt you. In some levels there's a Shlongg guardian that makes things harder for you.
Everything about this game screams "amateur." It looks and feels like a student project. The voiceover narrating the story sounds like it was recorded with a mic at a home computer. The 3-D graphics are horrible, straight out of 1995. The 80s sounding sci-fi music sounds like a crappy midi file. I've played countless online free games that are of much higher quality. Save your money and download the real Breakout. I'm sure it's available for free somewhere.
