![]() ![]() (Sounds like a premise for a Disney movie to me! Where do I sign for my merchandise deal?) There's nothing sadder than watching a fleshy pink glob hopping impotently up and down beneath a switch because it doesn't have enough puke to reach it. Liquid can also squeak through cracks where you can't reach it occasionally, forcing another level restart. If you can, you can try to puke back up into the container to blast out any clingers, but this doesn't always work. There are a few levels that require you to fill up on vomit before you can use it by triggering locked containers of the stuff, and you're often left crossing your fingers and hoping the liquid falls out like it's supposed to. If bodily fluids squick you out, you may want to give this one a miss, but Spewer refrains from being very graphic thanks to one of the cuddly-wuddliest visual schemes I've seen in a while.Īnalysis: Unfortunately, sometimes liquid - any liquid - doesn't play well with physics engines, and there are times when it seems Spewer's sputum simply wants to do its own thing, which isn't always in your best interests. Also included is a level editor, for you to create your own playgrounds of pukey goodness. The designers have included a link to a downloadable version of the game to help this, if turning down the graphics in the options doesn't help. Because of how physics-intensive the game is, you may find yourself begin to lag the longer you play. As you progress, the game introduces different elements such as different areas and types of vomit to keep things interesting. Sometimes it's a little trickier, as you navigate spikes, lava, switches and more. Sometimes it's as simple as a few well-timed jumps. Levels are short, usually only one screen, and your objective is typically to reach the exit. Isn't science great, kids? (Laptop users be warned: this game may be difficult or almost impossible to play with a touchpad.) ![]() I think I saw that on an episode of Bill Nye once. And when you're done, don't forget to hold down the Space Bar to suck all your vomit back up, since it can be reused indefinitely. It's not just for giggles this deluge of nastiness can also help propel you farther, and fill up otherwise dangerous areas so you can swim safely across, like some adorable, slime-laden tadpole. In addition, you can click and hold the left mouse button to belch forth a mighty torrent of puke, turning the mouse to direct it. Spewer can be manipulated around the screen with the keys, where makes you jump… somehow, despite not having any legs to speak of. Oh, didn't I mention? There's vomit in this game. ![]() It would be charming, a gentle reminder for us all to find joy in every situation, if not for the fact that it's probably due to Spewer being made up of vomit rather than brains. For most of us, this would be a pretty lousy way to spend a day, but Spewer never ceases to look absolutely thrilled at even the most menacing of deathtraps. ![]() In Spewer, the latest physics-based puzzle platformer from Eli Piilonen and Edmund McMillen, you take control of a little pink blob forced to run a gauntlet of increasingly lethal lab tests for a rather sinister looking scientist who finds something to fault in your every move.
