In fact, so spurious and unpredictable are the "correct" "solutions" to each mini-challenge that on replaying the game, I still have absolutely no idea what to do. And both times stared in blank confusion at what I was supposed to be doing. In my first play through of the game's initial 72 levels (it gets up to 100 once you unlock a final section in each chapter) I achieved reaching a bonus level precisely twice. Fail at any point and they're all wiped out. Solving a puzzle correctly gets you a white blob, and if you solve three correctly in a row, you get to play a bonus level. Or it might cause your foot to get stuck in their bottom, whereupon you're then sucked inside them. Kicking a person might cause them to fall on top of something useful. Kicking a bomb might be the only way to get it out of the window. The majority of your interactions are kicking people or objects, with again no rhyme nor reason as to what this achieves. Next time you see a burning fuse, you'd obviously be an idiot to try to pick it up, because the answer blatantly lies in drinking a beer and then pissing on someone.ĭisplayed in vast, chunky pixels, the animation most immediately reminds me of Digitiser cartoons.
Well, clearly you should just click on the sparks on the fuse and just pick those up. So perhaps there's a burning fuse and a duck sat in a tree. If something similar worked before, you can be certain that this time it won't this time. Importantly, objects that can be interacted with aren't usefully distinguished from those that can't, and it goes to some exceptional lengths to ensure there's no internal logic whatsoever. You've got to stop something from exploding, and you have one or two clicks to do it in. Collections of 20 second minigames each require you to stop a bomb from exploding. This absolutely ludicrous, completely unfair, and utterly daft game has the internal consistency of a Liberal Democrat politician.
While playing serious, "important" games, running a business, and chasing after the naughty, I count it as pure joy that there are the McPixels to play too. I've weed and vomited and pushed and farted and made out with Obamaed my way through every level of this splendid madness, and can tell you wot I think. SOS's McPixel successfully made its way through the Steam Greenlight process, and even advertised itself on The Pirate Bay.
