A HUNDRED POINTS

Posted by BMcC Thu, 09 Nov 2006 18:57:00 GMT

One of my lower scoring games.

As most of you surely know, I am the reigning Frog Hunt World Champion.

For the sake of those poor, unenlightened souls who haven’t experienced the raw power that is Frog Hunt, here’s a quick overview. But first a caveat! This game… will change you.

Frog Hunt is an experimental game by Johan Peitz, founder of Free Lunch Design, and true friend of indie gamers everywhere. As I recall, the game was based on a classroom discussion he led concerning creativity that produced a number of arbitrary (and terrible) videogame concepts. He then took the best (the worst) of these concepts and made them into a game. A delightfully broken game.

I play three to four hours each day, as part of my rigid World Champion training, and I’ve still yet to uncover its mysteries.

    I love the idea of trying to get the high-score on a game that is intentionally broken. Something similar to playing Geometery Wars, I mean the odds are against you in a great game, and so high-scoring in a broken one is surely a real test of awesome gameman…ship..ness.

    100 Points!

    LOL .. this did appeal to my sense of humour, though after I’d managed the once to end up on the only remaining tile I’d had enough. I wasn’t lucky enough to get a high score. :(
