New Action Game – Kaban: Sheep

Wed, Jul 22, 2009

Kaban: Sheep creates more questions than it answers. Whoever heard of a wild boar being used as a sheep dog? Is this supposed to be a grown-up rabid version of “Babe”? What on earth does Kaban mean anyway?

Despite these questions, Kaban: Sheep can roundly answer the most important question of all. Is it fun to play? – Yes.

The animations are smooth and it works well as a semi-isometric view. The gameplay is simple at first, chase all the white sheep into their pen. Difficulty ramps up when you are required to sort the sheep too into pens of different coloured sheep. The game throws you a couple of tools to help make the process a little easier. A lassoo, and a couple of sheep-suits, the less said about is probably the better!

Enjoy Kaban: Sheep now!

Here’s one for all you old schoolers – Wizard Smash: “One wizard’s quest to rid the land of a curse by hitting it in the face”

Controls:

Movement: arrow keys
Swing mace: arrow keys
Mace control mode: z
Jump: x
Exit door: down arrow

Mechanics:

It’s a pretty standard retro platformer, except the player has no attack and is instantly killed when touching an enemy or enemy projectile from any direction. In order to attack, you need to swing the dispel mace into an enemy. This is primarily done by positioning, since the mace is always orbiting freely around the wizard.

The levels are randomly generated on every playthrough, and a simplified AI director is responsible for positioning enemies.

The green bar at the top is your progress through the evil keep, which goes up when you’re going the right way and down when you’ve been forced to backtrack (IE hit an enemy). As it fills up, special enemies become more frequent. When it hits 8 full boxes, there will be a boss battle, but that’s not in there yet

The red bar is the final boss’ HP. It’s always displayed, since it only goes back up if you’ve been forced to backtrack a lot. Of course this is all speculation at this point

Enemies:

Hench Toast: toaster minions. Will either march back and forth or shoot burnt toast in your direction.

Hatba: Flying hats that swoop around

Lampet: Lamps that hang off the ceiling and shoot lightning

Zombies: Spawn in large groups and march towards the player, jumping over short obstacles.

Monkey air raids: A swarm of winged monkeys flies across the screen. The top and bottom row of walkable tiles are guaranteed to be safe from monkeys.

The wicked witch of the worst: The witch that made the curse! Casting fire magic makes her lower her shield for a few seconds.

This is a difficult and unforgiving platformer with a lot of humor. The game regularly feeds you little gems like “expect to die a lot” and it’s true.

This week we’re proud to bring you a really sweet new action RPG game. Vertical Drop Heroes offers up the perfect blend of RPG with the “falling down a big hole” genre.

In the game you start out as a regular Joe but you “rescue” heroes locked in cages (stamp on them to smash through and free). As you do this your character will take on the class of the hero you freed. There are 5 different classes that are free-able but releasing heroes of the same class as you are currently will allow you to level up that class making you more resilient and more powerful.

Completing levels (getting to the exit) allows you to progress as well as unlock new character masks. In addition there are 30 different magical artifacts and 3 gameplay modes including, wait for it, multiplayer (shared keyboard) which is exceptionally fun

Trust me, play Vertical Drop Heroes now!
