Gish Game Demo

This game has been the object of my obsession for a couple of days.  Lots of fun.  Complex physics meets Mario-style side scroller in this ball-of-tar vs. creatures from the land of Zim adventure.

I couldn't get past the part where you have to jump for the first time.  My guy just did not want to jump more than five pixels.

Uninstalled.

I got him to jump pretty high (by jumping and flattening over and effin' OVER) but I thought the controls were kind of crappy and the game was a little boring. It was cool how he stuck to the wall or floor though.

He flattens better if you hold the down button.  Hitting jump while he's the most compressed gets the most height.  Also pressing up while he's airborn gets you higher.  It's a skill.  Just like a lot of other side scrollers.  It's painful and obnoxious until you get the hang of it.  Then all of the sudden it's a zen-like experience racing through levels that would have previously socked it to you for hours.

It has several multiplayer modes which I just adore.  Football is my favorite.  You use the guy's sticking to walls ability to yank a foot ball down a field.  Once you get good at it, you can roll the football on top of yourself, and then use the jump key to vault the thing up for a field goal.  Fun city*.

I'm always looking for games that more than one person can play at the same Machine.  There's a dearth  of them for PC, and my wife swears up and down that we'll never get a console.

Yes, I've played Worms, I love worms.  I'm down with the World party.  I was all sorts of excited by the possibilities presented by Worms 3D, but the gameplay fell flat.  It just wasn't as much fun.

Where my boxing games at?
