Game #019: Hunger Strike

Click here to play the game!

Controls: Mouse to create, upgrade and sell turrets as well as pause the game and use menus - see the in-game instructions for more detail.

Difficulty: Medium/Hard (need a strategy)

Objective: Place different towers in different place to destroy the 'hunger pangs' (enemies) and protect the body from hunger. Proceed through all of the levels, including bosses to win. Don't let enemies get to the end or you will lose lives. A good tip is to place towers in strategic places so that they can shoot enemies on multiple parts of the area.

Rating: 4/5 - I must admit, I'm not a big fan of these Tower Defence games. This may largely be because I'm not too good at them. Nonetheless, I'll try and remain impartial during this review. Hunger Strike is a fun game to play, with interesting music and sounds. What you need to do isn't too original, but if you've never played this genre of game before it can be difficult. Fortunately, there are some helpful in-game instructions. There are five different towers which can be placed in the area, all with fun names, my favourite being the 'Big Daddy Burger', which is also the most powerful and expensive weapon. Although towers can be upgraded, I had hoped for a larger variety of them. Once you get started, the game picks up and starts to be quite fun, right up until the moment it grows tedious, once you've finished about 30 or so levels. Not even this game's fun take on Tower Defence games can make up for that. So if you're bored of Tower Defence games, but find yourself addicted to them, give this one a try!

Rating: 3.5/5 - Fishy is a fun game to play if you have a little spare time, and I have to admit that it can become a little addictive. You may start as a mere minnow (or goldfish, maybe?), but in time you grow to become a large fish, at the top of the food chain. If you can survive long enough, that is. Visually, the graphics of the game aren't amazing, but they aren't particularly bad either. This is made up for by some really nice background music, and the fact that this is a game for all ages. My main problem with the game is that you can feel a little confined in the small space you're in, especially when you grow to be a larger fish. To add to this, is the game too simple? It may be for more experienced online gamers. Nevertheless, it's fun, addictive and scores 3 and a half out of 5. Not bad!

We're Back!

Yep, that's right, the Game Void is back after what has been an admittedly long absence. Life took over, I suppose, leaving me with too little time to search the internet for games to post here. Still, after my hiatus, or whatever it should be called, I'm back, hopefully for good. Now I plan to just post games whenever I find them. This may mean that the Game Void will be less frequently updated, but it's the easiest way to go about maintaining it.

Anyway, we're back, so expect some more games coming!

Game #017: Light People on Fire

(Warning: Game does contain pointless but violent action in it.)



Click here to play!

Controls: Arrow keys to move, Space bar to light on fire, and Control (Ctrl) to disguise as a tree.

Difficulty: Easy

Objective: Light as many people on fire as you can, to earn points, but watch out for rain clouds, which will slowly put your fire out. To prevent this from happening, disguise yourself as a tree. Doing so will also stop people from running away from you. Keep an eye on your 60 second time limit, too.

Rating: 3.5/5 - Light People on Fire is definitely a random enough game (just think of the title, after all), with a random concept, and random ways of acting in it, but at least it is simple enough to play, and easy enough to possibly get you a little addicted. The game has nice, fun graphics, and the way the music changes when you set yourself is alight, being nice and calm when disguised, but abruptly switching to heavy metal once on fire, is quite clever, adding a good effect. Despite having clouds to watch out for, and a time limit, the game feels a little empty, seeing as the concept is perhaps too simple, and you are confined to such a small area.

Game #016: Line Runner

Click here to play the game!

Controls: Move mouse to draw the line for the Line Runner to run on, Mouseclick to run upside-down on the line and then back again if required, Space bar to pause, and Left and Right Arrow Keys to toggle sound.

Difficulty: Medium on Normal or Free Run modes, Hard on Survival Mode

Objective: Normal Mode - Finish the stage as quickly as you can, collecting certain items for a boost of speed, a hyper mode, and weather effects, and avoiding certain items which slow you down. Items explained in-game.

Survival Mode - Survive for as long as you can against an enemy trying to shoot you down, collecting certain items for extra lives, and avoiding certain items which lose you lives. Items explained in-game.

Rating: 4/5 - At first Line Runner may seem like a simple game, having a simple concept, but with different modes, and items to watch out for, Line Runner can be a lot more complex than it seems. The game boasts good graphics, and fairly quick loading times, as well as being fun and easy to play. Line Runner's only problem may be that it is quite annoying to play when tired, as it can become exceedingly annoying, when the ease to play suddenly seems to disappear.

Games Master Challenge: Get a combo of 20 or over in Normal Mode and/or Survive for at least 3 minutes in Survival Mode.
