Review #15: Andy's Dad in His Own Nightmare!

ANOTHER NON-PLATFORMER! Gee whiz, I'm on a roll here!

Not only that, but this game isn't on a console or handheld, and can actually be found online at yoyogames.com.

So anyway, look at the cover real quick. We see the character "Andy's Dad" (Melvin Skidd dressed up as him on Halloween) holding a lantern while running away from a ghost. So that's his nightmare, huh? Well, trust me, there's more than one ghost that's after him...

Categorization time!

Graphics: Very, very, VERY simple. The graphics really aren't that great, man, but the awesome gameplay makes up for it. Graphics get: 6/10.

Sound: To be frank, there's only one sound effect in the whole game, and it's Andy's Dad screaming "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" when he gets touched by a ghost. But this is so hilarious to listen to that you'll probably WANT to lose on this game just to hear it. Sound gets: 10/10.

Story: Well, there is a small story here. Andy's Dad is having a nightmare about being chased by ghosts, led by these three bigger and nastier ghosts named Phat, Speed, and Wingle (nice names, huh?). That's pretty much the whole story right there. Story gets: 7/10.

Gameplay: MUST... STOP... PLAYING!!! This game is very addictive, and you may end up glued to your computer screen playing it. Here's a screenshot of what you'll see while playing:

Sorry for the poor quality.

So, yeah, it's Andy's Dad's head and a bunch of windsocks with eyes and mouths. What do you do? Well, the ghosts are hyper on caffiene, and are just going all over the place nuts. You, as Andy's Dad, just have to run around avoiding them for as long as possible. This is more fun and addictive than it sounds, trust me. They even set up a high score table! The game is also split into levels, where you must survive for the time shown on the screen preceding the level (500, 1000, ???). This game is perfect if you have nothing better to do. Gameplay gets: 10/10.

Controls: Are you good with the arrow keys? You'll do fine here. Controls get: 10/10.

FINAL SCORE:

6+10+7+10+10= 43/5= 8.6/10, rounded up to 9/10.

Overall: Must play, even if just for the wicked title screen or AD's sound bite!
