AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! – A Reckless Disregard for Gravity. Yes, that really is the name.

I figured I'd give the creation games such as DF and Minecraft a rest for a while and give a shout out about another style of game, much less time-consuming and for more of a casual gamer.

The game is called AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! – A Reckless Disregard for Gravity, and that pretty much sum's it up. Unlike the other games so far reviewed, this is really a no-brainer:
  • Jump off buildings, scoring points as you fall by doing certain things such as flipping the bird to protesters, thumbs up for your fans, and 'hugging' & 'kissing' anything you can get near whilst falling imminently to a brightly coloured doom.
  • Collect 'teeth' to unlock more levels, some pretty hilarious clips, and unlockables/upgrades.
  • Some brilliant music with this game and a great light-hearted feel.
In fact it's because of the simplicity of this game that it's so fun to play. Here's a video to give a general idea of what a level is like:


(I know, I sucked. It was a sample, not a professional video ;p)
As you can see, them game is, to say the least, simple. Yet I recommend you try it out, because it's just so fun for such a simple game! The environments do change also, meaning that you can be free falling alongside a cliff face as well. There's a total of 80 levels and in all honesty I find the majority of them quite different from each other, unlike your usual 'same thing different background' basis expected with this kind of game. You unlock levels buy spending your 'teeth', and the level grid (which also has the unlockables and clips) looks something like this:



The game has actually won a number of awards and been nominated for several indie game categories and is only $9.95 at the moment. A simple, addicting, and lively game. Definitely presses the 'fun' button for a good few hours, and is well worth the money.
(A short review for a simple game, i probably wont be building on this one!)
Hope some people find this a nice little game :)

I wanna' jump off things too!


Peace,
Andy
