This game, starring two bubble-blowing lizards, takes place in the Cave of Monsters. And let me tell you about this cave, this is one never-ending cave. So basically, these lizards have to battle through the cave to save their girlfriends, eating everything they find along the way.
In terms of difficulty, this game alternates between ridiculously easy and ridiculously impossible. The levels themselves are not all that difficult, but you have to make it through 100 of them.
And…I don’t know…I like it. It’s strangely addictive, and there is a mind-boggling array of different items which randomly appear when certain mathematical requirements are met. Many of them give you points, but a few of them trick out your lizards to make them more efficient killing machines.
As a disclaimer, I should add that I’ve never finished this game. A typical session involves playing flawlessly for roughly an hour and then dying continuously at the same spot until it’s GAME OVER. Dan, my game counselor, says this is common.
I should add here that Dan is an EXPERT. He’s been playing video games since he was 4 years old, which strikes me as odd because it doesn’t seem like they’ve been around all that long.
When I speak to him, I picture him playing along with me, instantly booting up whichever game I’m playing and giving me real-time advice.In actuality, Dan tells me, there is a giant book with commonly-asked questions for each games and cheats and hints, and all he does is read from it. I asked him to send me a copy of this book, but he says he would lose his job if he did so.
