Nurgles

this is another one of those games I feel could have been decent, but was rushed out before it was truly finished.

I think the most outstanding feature about this one is that it has a "win game" button.  All you have to do is press "k" and you can consider your level beaten...interesting.

If you choose not to go the route of instant gratification, you'll have a game with pretty much the same mechanics as Dig Dug but with an emphasis on finding the goal and traversing levels.  There are also these little raccoon-like creatures that follow you arround, supposedly helping you throughout the level, but really the only threats keeping you from each level's endpoint are most efficiently evaded by simply moving around them.  The nurgles that follow you around pretty much only do just that.  Supposedly they should be able to help you kill baddies and collect fruit, but they're impossible to control, making it not worth it to even acknowledge their existence.  Besides, the sprint button makes you go so mindbendingly fast that completing the level legitimately is almost as easy as just pressing "k."

That's all I got for now.  Until next time, stay exploitative.
