Winnie The Poo Eater Review

Winnie the Pooh Eater is absolutely full of shite... Literally! Let me explain :)

It's difficult to describe this game without feeling a little silly but for the sake of journalism, I shall give it a try! The aim is simple - Pooh falls out of four bums and you must position Winnie under the pooh in order to eat it. Hmmmm...

It's all very tongue-in-cheek and very simple stuff. The overall objective is to achieve the high-score before the time runs out. Throughout the game you are forced to listen to very annoying music but the sound effects are comical - lots of farting basically!

The pooh (ahem) falls in a totally random fashion so in many cases, your score can depend on whether you are standing in the right place at the right time. But then, that is the point. It's all about reflexes, and you will find yourself improving after continued play.

There's not much else to say really. That's all there is to it! It's fun to play, it wastes a good few minutes of your lunch break, and it's the only game that warrants shouting, "I ate far more shit than you!" to your mates during a gaming session!

There aren't really any problems with WTPE to speak of due to it's simplicity (except it should be noted that sometimes you can't select a menu item but that's nit-picking !), but there is plenty of scope for improvement...

First and foremost, there is no difficulty curve. The introduction of "levels" like in Tetris - where after a certain amount of play time has passed, the stakes are raised and the game becomes more difficult (i.e pooh falls faster!) - would be a welcome addition.

Also, lets have some power-ups eh? [Pause while reviewer becomes lost in a frenzy of ideas]... A Speed power-up to make Winnie move faster for a while, or maybe a "Shoot" power-up to allow Winnie to shoot that excrement into oblivion! Sorry, I'm getting carried away, but you get my drift - there is plenty of scope for improvement, basically.

Summary

WTPE was always going to be a simple game but with a few tweaks it could be transformed into one of Blender's most addictive (and hilarious) mini-games! As it stands, WTPE is a funny mini-game worth downloading for, literally, lots of shits and giggles!
