Go Home Dinosaurs preview: Steak 'n' Shake
I learn something new every day. While playing the Go Home Dinosaurs PAX demo, I learned that even the most herbivorous of dinosaurs can't resist a nice, juicy steak. Also, little prehistorical mole creatures are the controllers and distributors of said steak, and they don't take too kindly to dinos attempting to crash their BBQ. Fortunately for them, dinosaurs aren't smart enough to stray from a straight path to get to those delicious smelling things. Yeah, Go Home Dinosaurs is a tower defense game where moles are trying to defend their BBQ from advancing hordes of pterodactyls. Excellent. Another thing I learned: Moles aren't terribly good at spacial management. They may be great at creating prehistoric turrets, lasers, and all kinds of general dinosaur-harming structures, but the concept of uniform sizes for those buildings is totally foreign to them. Like big, oddly shaped Tetris blocks, each of the weapons takes up a different shape on the board, each defensive building's location has to be carefully planned out to allow for future placements of those of different shapes. Making sure your laser fires down the longest stretch of dino path possible is tough when you have to think about where you'll place your meteor magnet next. That's right, a meteor magnet. How else will you make those dinos extinct? %Gallery-132208%
'Go Home Dinosaurs!" is latest title from Slam Bolt Scrappers studio
Fire Hose Games, developers of PSN's Slam Bolt Scrappers, are back with Go Home Dinosaurs!, debuting at PAX this weekend. The studio describes the game as part of the tower defense genre, but players fit together puzzle piece-shaped weapons powered by adorable, fuzzy creatures who are defending against dinosaurs. Players also level up their characters and gain new abilities by collecting and trading cards. Go Home Dinosaurs! sounds hectic, but if it's a controlled chaos, which was lacking from Slam Bolt Scrappers, the studio may have something stronger in its sophomore effort. We'll have more on the game this weekend, check it out in the Indie Alley and next to the PAX 10 in booth 6408.
