I honestly wish there had been more of them. Later, the game surprised me by offering up several stages that resembled Rube Goldberg machines, replete with platforms, tunnels, and walls that had to be approached in a certain order. It's just enough to keep you on your toes and thinking.Īnalysis: Early on the "puzzle" aspect of the game is mostly limited to figuring out just how much force and angle you need to put behind a grenade to tuck it between a goon and a wall on an odd platform.

But some items, like the timed exploding boxes that zip off in a specific direction when hit, are a pleasant surprise. You probably won't be surprised by the exploding crates, since they're contractually required to be in every game with the slightest military theme, ever. In a pinch, you can also "destroy" enemies by knocking them off screen.Īs the levels go on, Fragger keeps things fresh by introducing new items onto the field at a decent rate. If it looks like it's going to miss, you can tap the bar to instantly make it vanish, but you'll still be minus one grenade. Grenades only explode after they stop moving, not when they hit something, so you'll want them to land as close to your target as possible. Once you click the left mouse button, your bow-legged on-screen counterpart will toss his grenade. Move your cursor up and down to adjust the pitch, and toward or away from yourself to choose the force behind your throw. Run out, and you'll be forced to restart.įew things can compare to the simple joy of tossing grenades around on a bright summer day, and Fragger makes it easy for you to get into the swing of things by controlling everything with the click of your mouse. You have a certain amount of grenades per level, and you can keep track of how many you have left in the upper left of the screen. Each stage consists of a certain number of these no-doubt dastardly baddies, and you need to get rid of all of them to proceed. The dopey grin the target wears sort of puts one in mind of the Beagle Boys, so let's just pretend you're trying to keep them from breaking into Scrooge McDuck's moneybin.
We're not entirely sure what's going on here, since no story whatsoever makes an appearance. It's every bit as wholesome and appealing as golf, except you'll actually enjoy yourself, instead of just pretending to. From Harold Brenes comes the next great outdoor pastime in Fragger, a sweet little puzzle game on a physics engine. It's about time someone invented a new sport for the kids to play.
Soccer? Yawn! Baseball? So last year! These days, the great outdoors looks a lot more like the boring outdoors.
