Fatman: The Caped Consumer

Fatman: The Caped Consumer description

Hand drawn platformer about a funny fat man-parody of a superhero. Villains from the sinister organization Sindicat (apparently a parody of different kiberpankovye "syndicates") has kidnapped old mother Fatman'and when she is looking at your favorite show. Fatman'to have the bandits have a requirement: that they'll let his mom, if he takes them to a mysterious Duplicator – a device that is able to provide power over the world, otherwise everything will end badly. But these thugs don't know who they're dealing with: because fat does not mean not cool.

The gameplay resembles most of the classic platformers with the only difference that here it is much more fun. The game only seven episodes in the first three levels, in the other two. The goal in each level is to kill all the enemies (it is possible, but not crucial), and... eat all the food: only after that we will start up to the next level (you will hear the sound of the Gong, which means that the gate to the next level open). Enemies in the game quite a lot, but among them for some reason relatively few people, mostly different creatures such as rats, bats, evil birds, giant insects, and so on, then there are ground enemies, and flying. Despite the overall fun of the game, enemies don't look nice, but the less a shame to deprive them of life.

The essence of the battles with the enemies is that the Fatman can't touch any enemy hands without consequences for themselves: in this case, he loses one life if you lose all lives – the game itself ends. As a "natural" weapons serve him his big feet, he can push different things, its huge fat belly that will throw the enemy at a great distance, and, forgive me generously, his equally huge ass, which he can crush the enemy by jumping on it, but first it is necessary to order him to use these parts of the body, then contact with the enemy will be painful only for the latter. There and collect the weapons remote actions – for example, carrot and mushroom bomb. Finally, after absorbing a certain amount of food at the level of the Fatman gets access to their super-weapons, its can say, "calling card" - the unbearable smelly burp (the aesthetes again, sorry) that is guaranteed to knocks down the most miserable monsters.

At the end of each level (just behind the aforementioned gate) we can expect some huge (and much more Fatman') and very charismatic-looking boss, each of which requires a special approach in terms of destruction. Types of bonuses in the game, the most important are the boxes that need to collect: in this case, after death can we be reborn on the very spot where the latter took the box, otherwise, you will have to start from the beginning of the level. In addition to the actual living enemies, the game has many different traps and dangers that must be avoided: the pits with spikes, spiked rolling balls, as well as water and fire (release to both of these substances deadly to Fatman'a).

Graphically, the game looks, admittedly, very cute – hand-drawn, vibrant and juicy palette, creatures and backgrounds are drawn very high quality, and the authors of the design should be given credit for the humor (the thinker sitting on a hamburger is "stylish"). Overall - not a hit of course, but interesting, entertaining and fun arcade game.
