“It’s pretty dope, but the story is confusing as hell. Which should make sense when it’s a book about cats piloting mechs, but somehow I thought it would be more, I don’t know, linear?
Maybe it’s because we had cats, dogs, and bugmen, and then we had different factions within each of those, which got to be a bit much.
Maybe I thought this was a turn off the brain thing, like when you play Earthworm Jim (developed by this author). When you play that game, you just have to sort of be like, “Look, none of this makes sense, so it ALL makes sense because it’s uniform in its nonsense.”
What a great couple of games. Maybe more than a couple, I don’t know, I didn’t fuck with it on the Nintendo 64.
You know what I love in games? When there’s a weird thing you do, like one time. In EWJ you would launch a cow at some point in the first stage. For no reason.
Also, just describing some of the tasks…
There were sections where you had to get on one of those motorized chairs that carry elderly people up the stairs, and you had to speed up and slow down to avoid falling grannies.
There was a level inside an anthill where you dug out by shooting a path in the dirt.
There was a level where you were a floating blind cave salamander. For no reason.
It was just so stupid and fun. “
