Save the Furries
SCORE: 83
Save the Furries is in the same genre as
the Lemmings franchise. There are some definite differences between the
two. Let me start with what is similar. Save the Furries has players try
to get all the little critters to the end area. Various objects within
Save the Furries can be moved around. Some will block them, and others
will help them get to the destination.
One of the major differences I found is there are not all these tools to
have the characters use in Save the Furries. Lemmings has diggers, bomb
guys, and more. Save the Furries works more with tools the characters
interact with. Cannons, boxes, launchers, and more. I am pleased to see
Bulkypix try something different on the iPad.
The characters in Save the Furries look odd. You have to see these green
flat looking things to understand. The sun, planets, and levels all have
some neat details to them. I found hidden little creatures all over the
levels. The attention to detail is high in this iPad game. The Furries
can die in a variety of manners. Thankfully most are less gruesome than
in Lemmings.
Beating a level is normally a time of celebration. With Save the Furries
it is annoyance. The sound effect given when I beat every level drove me
up the wall. It defies all logic. I let others at Family Friendly Gaming
hear the sound and their eyes got huge. There were various comments
about how irritating that sound was.
The game play in Save the Furries revolves around finding the right
items to move. Some levels require a quick hand, and others will let you
take your time. The touch screen aspect of Save the Furries works. I
found a few levels where trying to get something like a log to a certain
spot was time consuming. Overall the controls are good in Save the
Furries.
Save the Furries taught me to pay attention to my surroundings. The best
way to solve the puzzles in Save the Furries is to take a mental
inventory of everything in the level. I believe that Bulkypix is on the
right track with Save the Furries. This kind of game has not been
represented enough on the iPad platform.
