While surfing the net, I came across Shep's Klik & Play Home Page.
At the site was a downloadable Klik & Play game called 'Bones'. It
promised over 200 frames, yet was only 295kb! Intrigued, I downloaded the
game and began to play. I was amazed when I discovered the claim was true..!
In Bones you play a little dog in a mad dash to collect (yep,you guessed
it) bones! But the great thing about the game is its clever use of scrolling.
Reach the right hand side of the screen and you're in a different part
of the landscape, but still on the same frame! The miracle is that the
game runs perfectly fast!
Throughout our Dog's journey, he must avoid all manner of creatures; from
birds to snakes. Some of the creatures are helpful, though; for example
you must climb on turtles' shells to cross streams and lakes! The game
is very well drawn and animated, and it plays very well. There is little
music but what there is, although not by Shep, is very good. The sound
fx suit the style of game well.
Bones is very hard as well, due to the fact that once your lives are gone
it's back to the start; and there's only one MASSIVE level so it can be
frustrating. Overall though, Bones is a very playable game that will bring
you a lot of fun.
