Cyclomaniacs 2 coming soon!!
 |
| What's this? Scroll down to find out more... |
Looking through some old photos the other day, Mrs Ferrét was amused to rediscover some pictures of a kitty getting excited about a developmental version of one of Longanimals' very first games.
 |
| It's a frenzied attack! |
A little mouse avoider/collector called Frenziac, we still think it's a pretty fun game - especially if you happen to be a cat...
And here are a few tempting little sneak peeks...
 |
| What's in there? |
 | |
| Could be dangerous... |
 |
| There may be trouble ahead... |
 |
| We're retro! |
Just to get you in the mood, you can still play Cyclomaniacs and Cyclomaniacs racers over at TurboNUKE.
And if you're interested, Frenziac can be found here.

Game Review: Red & Green
Red & Green is a simple physics projectile launching game made by Anton Antsiferov (programming) and Tevsik (art).
It's nothing new, but that doesn't stop it being lots of fun! Simply mouse click to fire the little cannon, shooting strange little cotton wool balls at the objects to move them. (Mrs Ferrét absolutely adored the noise the cannon makes!). You must feed the red sweetie to the little red person, and the green to the green; this makes them enormously fat and extremely happy. And it makes you happy too, because it makes you win!
The graphics are great - not stylish but, you know, right for the game. They are very clear and colorful. The music is a bit annoying, but hey presto there is a mute button at the top, clearly displayed! When you play this game you know what to do, and you do it, and it makes you think a bit - perfecto!

Game Review: Top Defense
 |
| Game intro |
Top Defense is a tower defense-type game by Alexander Porechnov. He spent a year working on the game and it appears to have been time well spent!
You are the captain of a space station and must prevent your enemy from capturing deadly missile silos on the planet below. This you do by firing cannon, missiles, nukes, and other lovely things, at the enemy's vehicles.
 |
| Play screen |
This we found to be tremendous fun! The graphics and design of the game are very enticing, and the sound is great - the explosions are exciting, the music plays only on the between-play screens, and is fine. The game is not too hard to play (you can select normal or hard difficulty though), but is satisfying, and upgrades are readily available. Optional hints are available and easy to follow. There is a walkthrough, cunningly disguised as a 'Strategy Guide'... : )
Most of all we like it cos you get to blow stuff up!

Game Review: Mosquito & Cow
Here is a cute, quirky and FRUSTRATING game from petums.
You play a mosquito, and in each level you have to try and get your lunch from a funny little cow!
Look, he's so cute! And you should see it when he runs : D
You must complete various puzzles to make the cow snooze off so you can drink his blood. A worm pops up at the start of each level to give you a brief hint of what you need to do. If you get stuck there is a mini-game for each level (this is often almost harder than the level!) which will give you a (sometimes pretty cryptic) further hint. There is also a little star to find in each level. As mentioned above we found this game frustrating, but I guess Mrs Ferrét was pretty hooked, and determined to finish it!
The gameplay seems to lose a little with occasionally rather touch-and-go collisions which can make the teeth gnash a little, but overall this game is a lotsa fun! The graphics are just beautiful. They start off pretty much in black and white, and a little more color is added into later levels. Best of all, when you reach your goal and drink the cow's blood the screen slowly fills with a soothing red. Mrs Ferrét loathes mosquitoes but even she was thoroughly into the vibe of this pretty, pretty game.

Game Review: MaXploder
MaXploder is a fun little game from Tom "Ninjadoodle" Vencel, done in a retro stylee:
You are the bandanna'd hero out to rescue 33 archaeologists foolish enough to have become trapped during an expedition. You must arrow-key-hop around the tunnels making holes with your bombs (spacebar followed by run like the blazes!) so that you can squeeze through and get those scientists out. This game has a certain appeal to Ferrets!
The controls are very simple, you can jump as high as anything and you have unlimited life, so you can even commit suicide if this helps you - you will come to no harm. This makes the game pretty easy, which may not appeal to some, but does lend a lot to a satisfying 10-minute coffee break! The same can be said for the simple graphics and jolly retro music, all very appropriate for a browser game. And of course there is a walkthrough in case you get stuck like Mrs Ferrét!
There is added challenge in trying to improve your time and score if you want to try again.
Anyway, two big ferrety thumbs up for this one!
