There's been a rise in the 2D trial-and-error genre thanks to the likes of Super Meat Boy and VVVVVV. Independent developer 2Play Studios have released their offering, Bloody Trapland, which heaps on some 4-player co-op along with buckets of blood from poor, defenseless pussies doing their very kitteny best to avoid lasers, saw blades, spike traps, and getting, um... fisted. Poor kitties.
While the game itself is $15, there is a demo available. Small problem: you'll have to download a third-party client to launch the demo, Desura. You'll also have to create an account for this software. Hoop jumping isn't exactly a favorite past-time of mine and, while I did download the software and create an account because I love you all dearly, downloading and running the demo proved to be a bit more of a hassle. Apparently my computer won't run the game despite the fact that other XNA games run just swimmingly. It saddens me because I sincerely do want to try it. Take a peek at the title's two trailers and, if you decide to give the demo a chance, let me know what you think.
Hmm, it looks like it plays like crap. Not necessarily so, but it looks like it. Also the corpse modeling is terrible; it's like three teaspoons of gore is all that's left of a full-size cat. Combine that with generic, immature environmental design, and that's a pass from me. Which is strange; I love ultra-hard platformers. This one makes me want to puke, tho.
my best friend's mom makes $77 an hour on the computer. She has been out of job for 9 months but last month her check was $7487 just working on the computer for a few hours. Read about it here LazyCash4 DOT c_o_m
desura is actually pretty nice - i mean if you're the sort of person who can enjoy the occasional PC game mod it'll likely come in handy more than once.
