\"\"<\/a>Oh what an unfortunate name this game has!\u00a0 And they couldn\u2019t even get the logo right.\u00a0 It looks like it reads Blow Fly &.\u00a0 Anyway, care to take a guess as to what this game is about?\u00a0 Well don\u2019t think about it too hard. \u00a0So you\u2019re a blowfish out of water, and you use what water you have left in your mouth to squirt and propel yourself around obstacle filled 2-D areas until you reach a toilet to flush yourself down to the next area.\u00a0 And that\u2019s it.\u00a0 The game is available on nearly all current consoles but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

Each area is a small 2-D stage with a toilet somewhere for you to reach.\u00a0 When you press left and right on the D-pad, your blowfish will roll in that direction.\u00a0 Pushing a button will make it spit water from its mouth, which will send it flying in the opposite direction.\u00a0 You\u2019ll have to avoid spikes and pitfalls as you make your way to the toilet in each area.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m really not a big fan of games that mess with the controls to make it more difficult, and this is one of those games.\u00a0 It\u2019s hard to tell which direction you\u2019ll fly when you spit water.\u00a0 You can use your green tailfin as kind of a guideline, but I wish they would\u2019ve done more to make it easier to see where you are going, like a line that shows what your trajectory would be or something.\u00a0 It\u2019s a one hit and you die kind of game, but you have to start over at the beginning of the stage, which gets annoying.\u00a0 And sometimes there are these hidden rooms with mini-game challenges that I couldn\u2019t figure out, so after a while I just stopped playing in frustration.\u00a0 Not a good game at all.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blow & Fly is rated E for Everyone with an ESRB descriptor of Mild Fantasy Violence.\u00a0 If you get hit by spikes you just explode like a water balloon, but that\u2019s it.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for some of the text, but not necessary just to play.\u00a0 Younger gamers may find this one too difficult and frustrating, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
