Andrew Brophy has released three games in one go<\/em> — which means to find time to play them all through in one day, I’ve had to give up sleep, naptime, mid-afternoon naptime and late evening snooze<\/em>. You’ll understand if I’m a bit crabby.<\/p>\n

\"3<\/a> 1 <\/span> Back To The Laboratory<\/strong>. Dodge your pet monkey’s flailing fists — while protecting those very same fists from the evil army fighter jets<\/em>. <\/strong>The anguish! Below-average shooter, but 10\/10 for the monkey drawing. His spiralling eyeballs will haunt you in your sleep for decades to come.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span> Takishawa Is Dead!<\/strong> A visually appealing 3D platformer, ostensibly about the search for the eponymous Takishawa. Mainly notable for having to wait 30+ seconds for your hero to very slowly<\/em> descend to the first level, which is right up there with the queue at the post office<\/em> on my Fun-Time Things list. Other than that, Takishawa Is Dead! is strangely alluring stuff, despite its obvious simplicity and insistence that this time, buster, you’re <\/em>gonna be the cameraman.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span> Sworrd Buster<\/strong>. Andrew, I like<\/em> this one, I really do. But. You grab the sword, you wave the sword, you shoot astonishingly pretty laser death from the sword… what’s not to like? Answer: INVISIBLE BOUNDARIES THAT MAKE PLAYING IMPOSSIBLE<\/em>. Tch. Perhaps you’re supposed to stay near to that ‘base’ at the bottom of the level? I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt: those rainbow lasers really have put my eyes in a very good mood<\/em>.<\/p>\n
