Reviews for Biscuits in Hell (#30446)

BISCUITS! Yes my ultimate guilty pleasure has its own game. As soon as the title music plays it sounded familiar, and I was right, it's the same tune heard in Crimblast which I reviewed during the Christmas period last year. The levels are titled after biscuits and level 1 happens to be Rich Tea “the blandest of them all”, hey that's one of my favourites! Plus you have 128 lives! Boy these modern games sure are generous with lives aren't they? Or maybe that's a sign of how hard this is? Yes, that's exactly what it is. You have to walk around the level and collect biscuits, all whilst avoiding the Bunsen Honeydew-like enemies and the glitchy wave-like things. You can use the platforms to move up or down and moving to the end of the row moves you up or down to the next one as well depending on which side you exited from. It is not easy at all. It's very easy to lose focus and run into something you shouldn't and it's easy to find yourself confused. The wave thing is very offputting and you'll likely make a mistake because of it. It took me forever to get the first level done but eventually I did which mean we can now move on to the second level, Bourbon Biscuit, take a choclatey plunge. This is when things get really ridiculous. You still have the Bunsen Honeydews and you still have the glitchy wave but you now have a blue bug-eyed thing and moves faster towards you when you're on its area, and a bomb. You just can't get anywhere in it at all with so much on the screen at once, and that's only level 2, I shudder to see how the rest of the game pans out. Biscuits in Hell can only be described as tough as hell. Nice idea for a novelty game but it will frustrate you.
