I'm really surprised that no one's bothered with this game on here - probably because it's out on the US PlayStation Store at the moment.
It's a puzzle game set on the island of Krunchatoa. You play as Biggs an adorable animal that has to eat everything to provide for its offspring. You do it by arranging animals on the vines above you so that the larger ones eat the smaller ones. Feed them enough and they pop, and if you've got the same type and coloured animals next to one another they set off a chain. You then eat the crystals and stuff they drop for points and get enough of them and you can move on to the next level.
Get enough of them and you can then feed your smaller offspring by doing this:
That's just one example of how mental / adorable the game is. It's all done in 1080p, looks fantastic and is really, really well animated. It's got a real bright and colourful feel running through the whole thing too so I guess that makes it something of novelty for games these days
It's just a really nice puzzler - one of those ones where it's simple enough to thrown on for a few quick games or you can get stuck in a bit more. In later modes it does get much more challenging though as Critters start getting infected and reduce your score if you put them in your mouth or eat the poison the drop when popped. The whole game seems to be about getting the maximum number of Critters arranged on the vines to hit the highest score, so there's a real knack to it.
There's also other things like powerfoods for popping certain creatures, so you get watermelon pips to pop Critters or Garlic -when you use it, you cause the critters on the vine to go back up and the animation of Biggs' garlic breath is brilliant.
Also quite a few modes to it too. The Single Player so far seems to be an extended intro to the game mechanics (in that each location on the map is split into three stages and the beginning of each one introduces a new creature / object . power up). But after that there's online and offline co-op / VS to be going on with (not tried those modes yet), and a Challenge mode where you have to clear the screen in a set number of moves.
I think it's priced at something equivalent to ?4.99 or there abouts and for that it's an absolute steal.
