A Curious little game in the style of the Famous Classic "Cannon Fodder" However instead of Soldiers you control a Turtle?
The Story
In day gone by, Humans have left the Earth and live high above in Spacecrafts, However they have created Robots in the Guise of several Animals to try to take Back over Planet Earth, Your--- Mission To Stop them!
The Intro
The GameA nice little intro to the Game which explains in details the Story of the Game, The Graphic shots are somewhat Cartoony But of a reasonable Quality, Better than some you find in PD games.
A nice little Animation of a Hot Air Balloon Delivering you to your Mission site! I click of the Mouse and into the Action!
You are then given your Mission Brief :
Collect 3 Eggs and Kill 13 Enemy
Or
Save 5 Kiwi Fruit and reach the Exit!
Game Play
A top down view showing the landscape and your Turtleminator, Reasonably well Drawn and the scenery is Varied Including Land/ Water/ Iceflows etc. The game itself is Fast and Frantic, The Turtleminator and the Enemies move at an amazing speed, Including Penguins/ Snakes etc. The first couple of levels are just to easy! This is not a complaint! As it draws you into the Game looking for more of a Challenge! Once you have completed a couple of missions you are presented with a Code, So you don't have to keep going over old ground should you Die!
Music & Sound Effects
Very nice indeed! The music is just about right for this type of game, And the sound effects are good and not over the top.
Overall Impressions
Once you have played this a couple of times and get used to the frantic pace the game runs at, It really becomes very enjoyable! It reminded me a lot of that game where you shoot all the "Tellytubbies" But a lot more involved, You have to get keys to open doors or find Dynamite to blow up obstructions!
