KEYBOARD DRUMSET F**KING WEREWOLF

After a day or so of seeing Gaddafi's big, dead face plastered over every news source and being exposed to the tedious righteous yammering of the gutter press in relation to this fact, let's have something a little more pleasant, a little calmer...

Here's a nice new bit of freeware courtesy of Cactus that sees you, The Eskimo, climbing a mountain via a series of crumbling platforms reminiscent of Super Mario's soggy donuts. (That's what they were called, right? Only, I just Google checked the name and only the obvious explicit results were returned.)

Anyway, its rather pleasant actually and there's a catchy pop song playing in the background for you to jump along to and...



Oh dear, I've turned into a F**KING WEREWOLF and the band are shouting at me in a politically contentious manner and now I have to kill people.

I guess the name should have given it away. Keyboard Drumset F**king Werewolf is a short sharp jab in the cortex. The screaming soundtrack (courtesy of F**king Werewolf Asso themselves) is essentially your game timer, the levels starting and stopping with every verse/chorus that passes in this snotty electro-punk charmer. And each level is a new format with different goals (as disclosed by the download's accompanying documentation). It's a feast of genres, all involving the struggle of one - probably quite misunderstood - psychotic werewolf eskimo man.

It works completely, of course. It's mental, but it's engaging off the bat. The experience is as much about noise and lights and f**king people's senses as it is about having a jolly good time. And I had just that.
