In a post-apocalyptic world of robots and trash a boy and his dog are constantly pestered by advertisements. Whether it’s a billboard for the local gas company or a nagging little button demanding that you buy the full version of the game you must press on through the muck to rescue man’s best friend from the evil fire hydrant that ate him. The first eight minutes are filled with intense finger-tapping, interactive environment, where you may click as many as five objects per screen! At the end of this trial run you can watch the intro all over again or replay the game. Don’t forget to buy the fullversion!

Zap aliens, move garbage, lose your dog, rate the game that you’ve only been playing for three minutes! It’s all here!

Happy Thoughts: This could probably be a fun game if I was willing to buy the full version. Also, the art is pretty neat!

Sad Thoughts: I don’t feel like the demo is quite enough to give me a strong grasp on the first ten minutes of the game. I feel like there are a whole two more minutes that will reveal the whole concept to me.

The Bottom Line: This is the kind of game that makes you realize how some children have racked up tens of thousands of dollars on their parent’s credit card using their iPhone. What’s worse is the game looks like it’s going to be free. It doesn’t really tell you it’s a demo. I dunno. Play it if you like this kind of game.
