Game Review: Roly Poly Eliminator 2

Hi there and a very happy Monday!

OK, I'm playing a game here where I have to squish a bunch of slightly objectionable but rather amusing monsters using a succession of delectably devious methods. No need to wonder about my motivation here - great!

This here game of which I speak (come on, Mrs F, get to the point) is Roly Poly Eliminator 2 by Johnny K of Cover Orange fame.

Hmmm...

Don't be fooled by the maybe slightly throwaway quality of the menu page - the in-game graphics are superb. It's the usual physics remover story - cut chains, click to remove blocks - get the monsters all squished on the spikes to move on to the next level. The squishing is very satisfying, but what we liked particularly were the popping, crunching sound-effects; the sparkling backdrops; and the ingenious, fizzing effect on the cursor as you click and drag across the screen:

**Sparkler**

There is groovy, jazzy music too. Overall verdict? This game is a lot of fun!

Play Roly Poly Eliminator 2 here.

Game review: Gluey 2

Ok ok, long time we knows it... : )

Here's a jolly little physics-remover game from Not Doppler called Gluey 2!

Colored blobs in a jar, yes they are

It's crazily simple hence I, Mrs Ferrét, is reviewing it! You must click groups of same-colored blobs in the little chemistry set so they disappear - you can only disappear the ones with eyes though - thus adding a sinister element... These blobs like to stick together, so they're pretty easy to get rid of - just click like mad! You get bombs to blow up to help with some mass-destruction, but there are also some little color-mixers that will try to confuse things for ya.

Look out though, because those blobs are being dispensed pretty quickly, and before you know it...

Uh-oh.

... your jar runneth over. Oh well, never mind, click Try Again and off you go.

This game is simple graphically, but the blobby physics are pleasing, and the music is jolly (if you don't agree there's a lovely, gluey, mute button too). It's just the last word in mindless fun - big grins, and two paws up!
