Halloween just passed and what better way to stay in the festive mood than with this swipe and slash game from sparkin’ apps where bunnies have escaped from an evil witch along with a bunch of monsters and it is your duty to kill the monsters and not the fluffy bunnies.
With three game modes survival, arcade and freestyle there really does not seem to be too much differentiation between them other than freestyle being never ending giving you the time to get to grips with the game and getting used to the very simple swipe and slash controls, arcade gives you a time limit where upon you need to kill as many monsters as possible as quickly as possible, although you can only kill the monsters as they jump up on your screen so as quickly possible really is as quickly as they appear. Survival mode is the only mode within the game which really offers you some kind of goal or purpose, whereby you are given three strikes to not kill the bunnies once your three strikes are up that is the end of the game.
You have the option of posting your scores on facebook and game centre so there is the competition element within the game for you and friends to play together. But the lack of changing environments and no progression or story within the game does make it really dull after a little while. It is a nice difference compared to cutting up fruit but the sole idea of the game play hasn’t really evolved from the original idea making it a different theme to an already done and dusted game.
Graphically its smooth and easy on the eye with good animations and plenty of colours making it not too dark and not so bright that it can make your eyes ache after a while. The sounds are repetitive and the music eerily apt for a spooky, monster cutting game. I just think the lack of imagination put into this game makes it virtually unplayable due to the fact there really isn’t much to work towards and there is a lot of repetition.
