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.
