But anyway, amongst the felines I found la la land. I was
pleased to find nowhere in the title any variant of cat, and downloaded it. I
was pleased to find I had downloaded not one, but five games. Pleased, I opened
this first file. My computer warned me: "This application has been
downloaded from the internet and may be harmful. Do you want to open it
anyway?" The fact that my computer says this every time I download
something from the internet aside, maybe this time, this one time, it knew
something I didn't...
la lal and:
My character looks like a cat. I am slightly crestfallen.
The game is flashy, literally. It reminds me of Kidpix, which I like. My only
controls are left and right, and my little kitty is often destroyed,
replicated, multiplied, popping into and out of existence. Numbers began
appearing on the screen, slowly, one number at a time, 1 through to 14. At 14
it stopped, or I just got tired of playing, I'm not exactly sure which.
Honestly, I was a bit confused, but also pleased that it wasn't about cats, but
something more meta and existential. Right?
la la land 2:
I am a cat. My name is biggt. A fishhead tells me it needs
money, and to steal from the rich! There are tears and there is anger and I
learn a lesson about money and people, I think.
la la land 3:
It appears I (biggt the cat) am tired of oranges. I get
dismantled in a number of ways. The music sounds like some sort of castle quest.
I keep smiling. Everyone has baggage, right? I learn a lesson about greed or
hermits or something.
la la land 4:
This one is really good, but it's like a nightmare. Maybe I
just like it because biggt is a chef and I like chefs and I wish I were a chef.
But there are several settings (including the moon ?!?!???!?) and a really Twin
Peaksy noble bird man. Like the first one, however, I don't know if I actually
made it to the end. Maybe? Maybe. Be persistent, okay? Persistence is key.
la la land 5:
The music is really fun and well chosen in this one. Kind of
eerie, really. One is about Amway, how it's so great, and how when you buy in
you'll make so much $$$$$ (but, you know, it's being used sarcastically, okay
guys? Do you get sarcasm? Sometimes it can be hard.) And the other song is
about evolution and how we didn't come from monkeys, no sir! A
stubbornly-stuck-in-their-ways comment, perhaps? Watch out for those
stubbornly-stuckers, they'll suck you dry.
Also, everything reminded me of Vidiot Game, and I think we
all know I like Vidiot Game, or anyway now you know I like Vidiot Game, so
that's a good thing. But that aside, in this game you get to throw bibles at
people/fishheads and prance around to chipper music, so it's pretty cool.
Everything said, this series is pretty awesome. Also has
some super replay value, but not in the "hey you'll find lots of easter
eggs" kind of way (although really who knows?). I guess it's probably more
like rereading a book. I was surprised and delighted at how frustrated such
simple, 2-control games could make me. In a good way! In a good way. If you
like to think about the meaning of life and video games. Do you? I do.
And biggt cool cat. Maybe I should not be so swift at
passing over the cat games? Maybe. But I played one called, like, Parkitty
where you have to lead a very bouncy, sleepy cat outside and it was pretty
stupid. Well, it was fun to be a bouncy cat for about 2 minutes. Then I got
bored. So... yeah, I don't know.
Here is a link to play the games! Have fun! Use your brains!
My rating:
