Tesla Defense Game Review

Play Online: Tesla Defense
Developer: NSBrotherhood & Damijin
Genre: Defense, Strategy, Upgrades

Game Review
I would like to award Nikola Tesla with the Science's Greatest Badass after playing this flash game called Tesla Defense. Just look at the loading screen... Its handsome Tesla. Finally a game featuring the man himself! It seems like Nikola Tesla so called the true creator of electricity, has the ability to harness the power of his death ray in an arm-mounted cannon to win World War 2.

Like I have mentioned, this game is about Tesla frying his enemies with destructive lightning. A goddamn epic game, I love the lightning bolts flying from the screen and he just stands on his tower blasting those blue androids off the map. What a lovely game isn't it? When I'm playing this game, the only thing going through my head is Zap Zap Zap and laugh while you dominate with electricity. Firing energy don't last, once you are out of energy you have to wait a while till your tower recharges.

I don't know why people are saying this is easy. I find myself having a little trouble with wave 14 and above. These androids are powerful and overwhelming, the regeneration can't keep up and chain lightning slowly loses its effectiveness. I always have to resort to orbital strike to clear the massive incoming. The last wave before the boss fight took a lot of tower management out of me, ended up with 2 ground towers and 1 air tower. I just feel that my placement of the towers isn't very strategical enough. Perhaps, I need more experiment...

Sometimes it's good to have a TD game that doesn't add up to hours. This is the kind of flash game you play to kill some minutes. Cool music, graphics were amazing, and the gameplay was engaging when the variety of enemies were good! Well done. :)

Evilgeddon Spooky Max Game Review & Walkthrough Guide

Evilgeddon Spooky Max
Evilgeddon Spooky Max Logo

Play Online: Evilgeddon Spooky Max
Developer: FireBeastStudio & Mofunzone
Genre: Shooter, Upgrades

Game Review
Another brand new week, another Monday. I shall do a shooter game review to start off my week. People, try Evilgeddon Spooky Max! It is a pretty awesome flash game that shows a very good potential for expansion. Currently, you'll have to deal with 9 various enemies, 3 baddest bosses and 1 Sneaky Slenderman! I am not exaggerating but this game is quite challenging and interesting one.

Basically, the world you living in are conquered by chaotic creatures of the netherworld and no one have ever dared to fight back. Now, it's duty to put an end to this and save your hometown. You basically begin off with an underrated handgun and things escalated quickly. You will face 3 different enemies above you and with your current weapon is not going to be easy on your first stage. However, you are able to loot new weapons from dead corpse or from a friendly unit Ghost. After 10 waves, the stage boss will be released and your objective is to kill it then advances to stage 2 and 3. I must repeat myself the game is not easy; It took me nearly 2 hours to complete the game.

For the most part, the monsters swarming around you is overwhelming, especially when you're trying to get to Ghost or weapons that would otherwise help you. Even money becomes impossible sometimes because the monsters swarm you to death. Besides that, you have an automatic miss mechanic in the game. It can be frustrating at times but slowly vanishes as you progressively upgrade your weapons.

But don't let me bring you down, even with a high difficulty. Evilgeddon Spooky Max is easily the 5 star shooter out there with its awesome content; upgrade system, weapons shop and secret shop. Overall, Evilgeddon Spooky Max holds great gameplay and so darn appealing graphics.

Mutant Alien Assault Game Review

Mutant Alien Assault
Mutant Alien Assault Logo

Play Online: Mutant Alien Assault
Developer: Chris Suffern
Genre: Shooter, Platform

Game Review
Well, I suppose space is a dangerous place and extraterrestrial aliens are attacking the ship. Gather at least ten fuel rods in the reactor core so the ship can perform a hyper jump and escape to survive. Beware that radiation in the reactor room will mutate the aliens in time. Any aliens still on board after the jump will become faster and more powerful. Solution? Destroy them!

I believe this flash game cited its initial inspiration from Super Crate Box. I could spot several similarities in both games. Still, Mutant Alien Assault is a frantic, platform shooter arena. It's filled with guns, aliens and one that must be emphasized, Dubstep! I was shocked and questioned myself why does Dubstep and flash game mixed so well together? I just simply love it. Overall, the gameplay is quite hard, and you die a lot. Even the instructions warn me that too, "If you don’t enjoy a challenge and are reasonably skilled please play something else." ^^

At each level and map, you are required to fend off an endless stream of aliens using randomly dispensed weaponry while attempting to refuel your ship’s reactor core. The reactor's bar filling up and the need to deliver the reactive bars towards it gave the game a steady sense of accomplishment. Each level has enough random elements to have good replay value especially, the random weaponry system frequently presents you with a dilemma: stick with your awesome gun or risk picking up a trashy weapon.

Mutant Alien Assault gameplay will start to smooth out sooner than you expected and you feel like you’re in The Matrix after the second rod. Finally, I'm certain that Mutant Alien Assault is one of the most interesting games out in a while and the kind of game that making it a perfect choice for gamers.

Epic Combo Redux Game Review

Epic Combo
Epic Combo Redux Logo

Play Online: Epic Combo Redux
Developer: Jmtb02
Genre: Action

Game Review
Epic Combo Redux is the sequel to Epic Combo. If you've never heard of Epic Combo, go read that review first. I know some of you guys already played Epic Combo Redux and wonder why I didn't write a review about it? Actually, I didn't know there were a sequel until today. I got to admit I am slow!

Epic Combo Redux is basically just a remake of Epic Combo, however the concept is still the same but comes with more turtle smashing action as the business is growing big. The whole point of the game Epic Combo Redux is to hit turtles and get the highest combo possible. A combo is made as long as a turtle is still in the air hitting things. Combos will earn you money which you can spend on buying more of these cloning turtle machines, thereby earning you even more money. After a certain point your combos have seemingly gone on forever and pretty much at that point you've "won" the game. Don't forget to press the button that manually stops the combo.

The biggest change you will see in Redux is there is more turtles, more diverse and interesting gadgets, and a bigger hammer. Also be reminded that there are some bright green flashes of light for decoration which totally spice things up! These brand new set of gadgets is designed to eliminate the redundant and/or boring ones in the original Epic Combo. From the looks of things, the game also includes a better counter system along with a fresh new coat of polish. Personally, I find this game to be a great time waster if you got 20 minutes to spare.

Comparing the old and the new, I will surely recommend this game over the older one for the most part, as it takes less time to set up the infinitely sustainable combos that will carry you for most of the game and its prettier to watch too. Here's my challenge to you how fast can you make a million dollars? I made it under 9 minutes. Think you got what it takes to beat me? Comment below! :)

LOOT The Game Review & Walkthrough Guide

LOOT The Game
LOOT The Game Logo

Play Online: LOOT The Game
Developer: Jmtb02
Genre: Shooter, RPG

Game Review
Jmtb02 is one of the most innovative game designers out there. His games are normally very action packed and fast pace which are the type of games that attracts me deeply. LOOT The Game doesn't seem like there's much to it but it's mysteriously addicting. The idea is simple; picking up some sweet loots and attack the loot-filled train. Grind to keep getting new weapons and upgrades. It's a fight to the bitter end, see if you can defeat all 100 train cars!

It's an interesting game concept and clever comment on gaming genres, but it can get slightly repetitive after a while as the game got easier and easier with rare and rarer equipment. Well to a point where I ended up looting only on red quality gears that is so powerful; providing tons of stats and destroying nearly any turrets and train in one to three hits. It ended up from quite challenging to no challenge at all, really weird difficulty curve I have noticed! Still, I have a lot of fun trying to customize my blue elephant to the best I could.

In order to win the game, I think you must learn to multi-task. At any point of time you will have a hard time focusing on attacking, placing items in your inventory, and looking at which items that good and useful. Meanwhile, being shot by turrets and cannons that slicing your health to empty. It can be frustrating for most people if they die. Not to worry, dying isn't too big of a deal.

Overall, it's a lovely game, loved wrecking carts with only one sword slash and having 10 cats following me. Collecting was really a fun point, since I love to collect everything and I ended up filling the item slots with only legendries. So anyway, cool game! Love it!

LOOT The Game Guide

Strategy in LOOT The Game
You always pick up the loot, and check it up on the tunnels to avoid making yourself a mess. If survival is a problem, you should try to get Healing Cats if possible to heal up there and avoid purchasing potions. Anyway like I have mentioned above, dying does nothing. I suggest to buy the inventory slot expansions to loot more as soon as possible.

There are three weapon types: Swords are pretty useless in the beginning, go up in damage with Strength. The gun is the elephant most trusty weapon, which are the best weapon and go up in damage with Dexterity. Wands fires multiple fireballs but they are very slow, which go up in damage with Intelligence.

Now, the trick to make the game a breeze is to aim for the loot! Which means you should always center around rare loot %+, at around 8k+% you should always acquire Legendary (Red) equipment, which will help you greatly building up your preferred weapon damage. The problem with having high damage though: As you kill trains fast, you will get less loot. If you have a wide level gap (30+ levels) you can wait a bit and pick up dropped loot. Or else, finish them! :)

Wrestle Jump Game Review

Wrestle Jump
Wrestle Jump Logo

Play Online: Wrestle Jump
Developer: Otto-Ville Ojala
Genre: Action

Game Review
Brilliant game, Sumo Hoppers! Wrestle Jump is so far the best two-player flash game I've played on a web browser. It is a two-player game where you play as a marked wrestler conjoined to another wrestler. The game is running by a simple rule; Jump around and flip your opponent to the ground using one button! Indeed, the wrestling figures resembles the traditional sumo when the arms are tightly locked to each other. This allows them to use their body weight to balance and not touch the ground with any part of the body other than their foot.

If you're only going to play solo, this isn't a game you will play for hours on straight. It's likely not worth it. But let's if say you have a friend and 5 minutes to waste, this is probably as concentrated as fun gets. Proved! I went around my class and challenged people to wrestle jump duels. Everyone learned to play in 10 seconds and laughed a lot. At the end, we had endless mode and ice mode on. The score was 200 to 156, pretty impressive score. One more thing to be impressed about is to spam the keys. The wrestling figures seems to be throwing fits and seizure. It's pretty funny!

Overall, it's a well thought game with creative mechanic and concept along with simple art style. This game has lots of potential which in my opinion just wasn't used to the fullest. It would definitely cool if you could watch a replay of the match in slow motion. Just imagine with some upgrades, level editor, story mode and more importantly multiplayer mode. I believe this game will be a hit especially when this game is firstly created for IOS users. Play it now with a friend. :)

Unagi 16 Game Review & Walkthrough Guide

Unagi 16
Unagi 16 Logo

Play Online: Unagi 16
Developer: NinjaDoodle
Genre: Action, Puzzle

Game Review
Can you remember the remarkable Clickplay Quickfire series? Yuberlido! Unagi 16 is apparently happens to essentially be the same as the others. It is a another cute group of quick puzzles done by Ninjadoodle! For those who are unsure about the series, the game is actually an interactive online puzzle game stuffed with 16 brain twisting challenges and some spectacular characters as well as set up. You have to follow the simple obvious instructions and use the available clues to solve all the puzzles. The challenges are best performed by getting through the puzzle in the shortest time possible.

For instance one game you need to click each octopus and remember the color on it’s a headband as it floats away and then enter the numbers in the order set by the headbands or count the number of clicks it takes for each ball to fall. Beginning it was pretty straightforward then slowly you start to pound the alarm! I know nobody said it was easy, but no one ever said it would be so hard. Stuck at level 9 & 12 for quite a bit, but level 16 is plain horrible. I think it's a slight way too challenging and totally not worth finishing. It doesn't fit with the rest of the puzzles.

Unagi 16 closely resembles Clickplay Quickfire; The graphics of the game are a clear standout and the game play is thoroughly entertaining. This colorful game may get you stuck in certain places but you need not get frustrated. Be sure to have a paper and pen around you or check the hints and keep progressing. Strangely enough, you will be enjoying the soothing sound of the game while the game itself will have you thinking very hard trying to solve the puzzles.

Unagi 16 Guide
Solution to Unagi 16
Level 1
- Each column has three cells, and each cell is part of a number. Clicking on a cell brings up part of that number.
- The top row of cells is the top of the numbers, you don't need to click on them.
- The middle row of cells should be the middle of the numbers, click each one once.
- The bottom row of cells is the bottom of the numbers. Click each cell in this row twice.
- Once the numbers are assembled you can see the code: 5417.

Level 2
- Click on each eyepatch. Underneath you will see either another eye or an "X" indicating a missing eye.
- Note the little logo above the pirates, the eye with the x2 in it.
- You simply need to multiply the number of eyes a pirate has by 2.
- The first pirate has 1 eye, so multiply that by 2 to get 2.
- The second pirate has two eyes, so multiply that by 2 to get 4.
- The third pirate has two eyes, so multiply that by 2 to get 4.
- The fourth pirate has 1 eye, so multiply that by 2 to get 2.
- The solution is 2442.

Level 3
- This is a progression puzzle. Click the first light and it will turn yellow and show the number 8.
- Click until you find the second in the sequence that will allow both lights to stay on. In this case it's the third bulb, which shows a 9.
- Then click the second bulb, which is a 6.
- Then the last bulb, which is a 5.
- The order of the numbers is the order you clicked, so the code is 8965.

Level 4
- Click on the wheel to spin it. Watch the open box on the wheel closely, and try to find the numbers that correspond to the cardinal points on the symbol to the right.
- The symbol to the right has numbers at different positions, the 1 at the bottom, the 2 on the left, the 3 at the top, and the 4 to the right.
- The number you see when the box is at the bottom (1) is 6.
- The number you see when the box is to the left (the 9 o'clock position) is 2. This corresponds to the number 2 on the symbol.
- The number you see when the box is at the top is 3, which corresponds to the 3 on the symbol.
- The number you see when the box is on the right (3 o'clock) position is 7.
- Therefore the code is 6237.

Level 5
- Ring each bell and see how many clicks it takes to make the bell fall off.
- The number of rings it takes to make the bell fall is the clue. The first bell takes 2 clicks, the second takes 3, the third takes 1, and the fourth takes 4.
- Therefore the solution is 2314.

Level 6
- In each row of little faces, look for the one that is winking, i.e. blinking just one eye.
- When you identify that one, click on it to see the number underneath.
- In the first column, it's the middle creature, which shows a 7.
- In the second column, it's the top creature, which reveals a 3.
- In the third column, it's the bottom creature, which reveals a 1.
- In the last column, it's the middle creature, which revealse a 5.
- Therefore the answer is 7315.

level 7
- Click on the first suitcase, the name of a city will appear (Prague).
- Drag the suitcase to the left, then click on the blank suitcase left behind. Another city will appear (Amsterdam).
- Drag Amsterdam to the left, then click on the blank suitcase. Yet another city name will appear (Rome).
- Click and drag Rome just to the right of the blank suitcase, then click on the blank suitcase to see the last city (London).
- Drag London to the far right.
- The suitcases should be in the order they appeared, from left to right: Prague, Amsterdam, Rome, then London.
- The numbers you are looking for are the number of letters in each city name. Prague = 6, Amsterdam = 9, Rome = 4, and London = 6.
- Therefore the code is 6946.

Level 8
- Match two pieces together, one from the left batch, one from the right, to make a complete number.
- Match the pieces from the upper left of both groups to get an 8.
- Match the pieces from the upper right to get a 7.
- The two lower left pieces make a 0.
- The lower right pieces make a 4.
- Now four grids will appear, each with one section highlighted in red.
- The first grid highlights the upper left square, the second the upper right, the third the lower right, and the fourth the lower left.
- That would make the code 8740.

Level 9
- Click on the small protruding things above and below each target. Each one will mimic one of the targets.
- Count how many of each pattern appears. There are 2 of the first one, 3 of the second, 2 of the third, and 1 of the fourth.
- Therefore the code is 2321.

Level 10
- Watch closely to see the order the cars arrive.
- Then click on each car to send them away, they reveal an 8, a 3, a 1, and a 7.
- The upper right car, the one concealing the 8, arrived first.
- Then came the car in the lower right, the one that hid the 7.
- Then came the car in the lower left, the one hiding the 1.
- Last came the car in the upper right, the one concealing the 3.
- Therefore the code is 8713.

Level 11
- When you click on a headband, the color will stop flashing and stay one color, then the octopus will fly away and reveal part of a code.
- The first octopus will turn yellow, then reveal R = 8.
- The second octopus turns blue, and reveals that G = 6.
- The third octopus turns green, and shows B = 9.
- The fourth octopus turns red, and shows Y = 7.
- The colors were yellow, blue, green, and red, which makes the code 7968.

Level 12
- Click rapidly to make the ball roll to the right, fast enough to jump the areas where spikes will shoot up.
- Note the number of spikes in each area and the ball jumps, 3 spikes, 5 spikes, 4 spikes, and 6 spikes.
- Therefore the code is 3546.

Level 13
- Compare the two charts, the left one with the symbols and the right one with the numbers.
- Note each row and column adds up to the same thing, and the squares with the number 6 corresponds to the squares with the square shapes.
- It's all simple math from here. On the bottom row, 6 + 6 = 12, so the blank space must be a 7 to make the row add up to 19.
- That means the circle symbol = 7. Put 7s in the number chart in the boxes that correspond to the ones on the left with circles.
- In the top row, 6 + 7 = 13, so the empty square must be 5, which corresponds to the triange. Put a 5 in each square that corresponds to a triangle.
- That leaves one empty square that corresponds to the asterisk. Simple math will show that it needs the number 8. Place the number 8 in the empty square.
- Once the number grid is complete, a chain of symbols will appear in the upper right, triangle, square, circle, asterisk.
- That makes the code 5678.

Level 14
- Look closely at each cluster of four aliens. Each cluster has the same eye color, but in each cluster of 4 one alien stands out for a slightly different eye.
- In the first cluster (red), the odd one is in the upper left. Click on it to reveal the number 0.
- The second cluster (green eyes), the odd one is the lower right. Click it to reveal the number 7.
- In the third cluster (blue eyes), the odd one is the lower left, click it to see the number 6.
- In the fourth cluster (yellow eyes), the odd one is the upper right. Click it to see the number 5.
- Now colored dots will appear in the upper right, green, red, yellow, and blue.
- That's the order of the numbers, so the code is 7056.

Level 15
- Clicking on each "arm" will rotate it around an axis. Click the first bunch and you will eventually form the number 5.
- The second arms will form the number 4.
- The third arms will make the number 3.
- The fourth set will make the number 7.
- When you've made the numbers, another set of numbers will appear, 4, 1, 3, and 2.
- This is the order to put the numbers you made. The code is 4735.

Level 16
- This is basically an arcade puzzle.
- Click anywhere in the upper area, the arrow will start to move.
- You can make the arrow change direction with a click.
- You want to pop all of the blue balls, without hitting a bomb. If you hit a bomb, the game resets.
- The answer to this screen is random, adisplayed in the top left of the clue display.

Castle Crashing "The Beard" Game Review & Walkthrough Guide

Castle Crashing "The Beard"
Castle Crashing The Beard Logo

Play Online: Castle Crashing "The Beard"
Developer: BoMToons
Genre: Action, Platform

Game Review
Castle Crashing "The Beard" is an incredible and yet short action game, which feature a ridiculously over-the-top arcade boss battle that is well worth your time. This is just one of those flashes that freaking spectacular! What a beautiful idea with an awesome follow through. The object of the game is to play as a Castle Crasher and destroy Tom’s beard before it destroys you. It’s a simple one-versus-one boss battle, you versus the beard. You can either choose to attack at close range, or charge your attack if you have MP and shoot a deadly semi long ranged attack. Each hit earns you some experience points to level up your character, which gives you better attack, combos and a sweet new look.

I have fallen in love the levelling up system, especially the Level Up cinematic left you feeling like you achieved something worthwhile. Overall, the game featured a very well-balanced and easy to understand the mechanics. The difficulty is challenging for me, although the boss AI follows a simple pattern similar to all classic arcade games did. However, dodging some of the attacks require some slight preparation beforehand, making full use of the delays in between.

Deep inside me after I tried this game twice, I'm like "WJ, it's going to be easy. Why am I not beating this?" I constantly repeat to myself: "Just avoid his eye beam and watch for his tongue to stick out for beard attack. He's repetitive and predictable." Eventually, took me 4 rounds to beat it, what a shame! Definitely a good game, it's a flash game that will take you between 5 minutes or an hour. It’s enjoyable for what it is.

Accumulate your combos! The last one... It might be pink but its hella strong! :)

Castle Crashing "The Beard" Guide
Weapons in Castle Crashing "The Beard"
Rubber Plunger - Starting weapon
Morning Star Mace - Require 100 XP
Fire-fighter Axe - Require 250 XP
Spiked Javelin - Require 650 XP
Lollipop Candy - Require 950 Xp

Defeating "The Beard"
To win the game, you want very high combos so that you can level up quickly. First jump onto the higher platform and stick close to him, attack him until you see his beard move, then dodge his attack. When he moves to the side, he will laser the top row, then the bottom row. During this time, attack from bottom, then attack from top. (Note: The middle platform is not high enough to dodge the bottom laser.)

When he exits the top of the screen, he will throw bread down at you. Stand under a platform, then let the bread bounce and dodge after. He also has an attack where he rotates his beard and chases you, although he seems to use it randomly. The skull only has one attack, it will shoot fireballs in all 8 directions on the left, right, then middle of the screen in that order. If you stand on the bumps on the lower levels, his fireballs can't hit you as long as you're not next to him. You can use this time to fully charge your magic. Stay away from his attack, then attack during his cool down period.

C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER! Epic Combo is an awesome flash game that's all about making epic combos. Simple as it sounds, I'll still explain it. Okay, so you're this businessman with a giant hammer. You basically kick off the "combo" by hitting turtles with a hammer strike to earn some money. The size of the combo is determined by how many times the shell or shells hit something other than the floor before the combo timer runs out. Whenever each time a shell does, the timer is renewed.

Once the combo is over or you manually stop it, you can use your money to buy lasers and springs and things to smash more turtles. Repeat it for the most epic combo ever. There are 2 main modes to choose from in the game, the original or the unlimited mode. Your goal in regular gameplay is to achieve 10,000 hits as fast as you can while, unlimited mode is a seriously unlimited mode! I got the score up to over a million. My computer lagged badly over time, especially when you got enough money to cover the entire floor with launchers and proxy mines. The game just goes on forever until your machine runs out of resources!

Actually on my first try, I'm thoroughly confused by the game. I was frustrated with the swing delay, but after playing a few minutes I slowly understand that its intent as the goal is to make one swing do a lot of work. It has a lot more depth and strategy to placement than is at first apparent. My combo from then on was running for the last 15 minutes with no end in sight. Either I have unwittingly mastered this game with no real prowess or there's something wrong with the game and it could possibly go on forever. Am I supposed to hit the "End combo early" button? This game is honestly ridiculous! :)

Game Review
Ladies and gentlemen, what's going on? It's a lovely but rainy Saturday night. I just played this twisted platform adventure called The Visit. In the game, you are setting out to visit your girlfriend. During your visit, things just happened... Don't ask me why!? I mean, that's how this is supposed to go. :P

It's a very short yet entertaining little game with around 7 different endings depending on the options you choose and the paths you take. I loved the animations because of the simple expressions and I giggled madly at every ending I got. Originally, I thought it was going to be a parody of Mario Bros, as you are going to deal all the dangerous obstacles on your way there to your girlfriend's house. So I started jumping at the bin, mailbox, and the crab! I was wrong, I was mislead by my unconscious. I felt so bad and guilty killing the crab, as the first one was a complete accident. I am really impressed at how this turned out to be and totally love the humor.

One thing, I sure learned is that crabs are living things too. You should never jump and kill it. Overall, it is a fairly captivating flash game; I enjoyed it, especially in seeing just how evil I could be. Trust me, you will never know how ridiculously silly and cute until you track all the endings down, when it probably only going to take you less than ten minutes. A well made game.

Flippin' Dead Game Review & Walkthrough Guide

Play Online: Flippin' Dead
Developer: Juicy Beast
Genre: Action

Game Review
Juicy Beast never fails to impress. Their latest work, Flippin’ Dead is a crazy arcade game featuring zombies, rainbows, power ups and blood baths. This is one of the enjoyable games I've played in a while. It’s like zombie version of Pacman with enough original content to be addicting. Flippin' Dead isn't a particularly hard but challenging game, the perfect game for all kinds of gamer.

You play as a bad ass looking bear, wearing purple shades being chased by zombies. At this point of time, all you can do to survive the hordes of undead is only by smashing crates for unique power ups especially the big pink crate. It unleashes the power of the rainbow to slaughter everything in your path which transforms zombies into naked humans, and your teddy turns green and grows fangs. Slaughtering everything in your path until the time runs out and things turn back to normal!

At first, I thought there will be a fancy shop system to upgrade your character but surprisingly, the shop system is sort of replaced by an upgrade system where you have to complete objectives to unlock new power-ups. In my opinion, it is kind of disappointing when intentional suicide is the structure of an otherwise survival-based game. Once you clear your three objectives, the best course of action is to kill yourself as soon as possible, since you can't start work on the next set until you die. Overall though Flippin' Dead is still pretty flippin' awesome and worth the play.

This game raises a great question about the zombie apocalypse that is often overlooked. How will bears feel about it? And will they wear sunglasses? And will they find the boxes full of rainbows that causes them to become and invincible and eat all of their enemies? I think I have found a certain logic here. When a furry creature wearing sunglasses pulls a rainbow from a box, he is convinced for a short while that all Zombies are actually naked babies with square heads, and thus, desires to eat them until the rainbow hallucination wears off. I don't know why I didn't think of it before, it makes perfect sense now...
