001 - Save Ultimate Wainbow Kitty - Jake Clover

When I decided to start this project, I had only one wish: to touch on that weird and wonderful feeling of early-2000′s freeware. You know what I’m taking about. Those games that just somehow appeared on the server of every high school on the planet, and nobody really knows who put them there. Icy Tower and Elasto Mania are two classic examples. As luck would have it, I found exactly that in the first game off the starting line. What a thrill.

Save Ultimate Wainbow Kitty is a great example of an old concept with a new spin. It plays like Frogger with an old lady carrying a chain gun. To begin, the game tells you to cross the “extwemely chaotic highway” and it isn’t kidding. These cars are not fucking around, they have places to be and they’re putting the pedal to the metal. Thankfully, you can start pileups with your aforementioned firearm to block the flow of traffic and reach the kitty on the other side, which is both satisfying and fun. While a lot of open-world games give me the opportunity to riddle a public bus with bullets, it isn’t very often that I’m given a reason to, let alone a reason this silly.

Once you reach your beloved kitty, it’s time to journey back across the road, armed with an RPG to make things even more disorderly. I feel that it’s important to mention here that upon collecting your kitty, the music from Nyan Cat starts playing in the background, which I haven’t heard since my first year of film school. It’s a strange, multi-layered kind of nostalgia to play a game so similar to early 2000′s freeware weirdness while listening to a tune from the era where you used to drink absinthe on a weekday, but that’s neither here nor there.

After reaching the other side, the game congratulates you on making it home “back in time for din-dins.” And that’s it. The experience is over. C’est la vie.

I honestly really enjoyed this game, despite the gameplay being a touch frustrating at times. It’s goofy, it’s fun, it’s a clever twist on the premise... it’s a great sample of what this collection has in store. The art style is simple and wholesome, and the music is actually pretty great. I’m a little disappointed that the game ends so abruptly, as it had enough potential to carry on for a few levels, but I enjoyed the one and only level enough not to complain about that too much. All-up, Jake Clover has made me smile.

Tune in tomorrow for our second game, Connect.

There isn't much gameplay to this apart from using binoculars in a park, so beware, and download with caution.
