The evil Dr. Lunatic is taking the brains out of zombies and putting them into the heads of other zombies to create a race of super zombies. Only Bouapha possesses the cunning and resolve to put him on ice. Unfortunately, the vile doctor has quadruple padlocked his front door, so Bouapha is going to need to get the four Keys of Lunacy to open it, and Dr. Lunatic has entrusted those to his poker buddies, who happen to live in widely disparate regions of the world. is an isometric, 2.5-dimensional action game, released in May 2000. Using the keyboard, the player controls Bouapha and collects Hammers, which can be thrown at enemies. The more hammers picked up, the more hammers can be thrown at once. Pants of Power can be picked up, these let the player throw hammers faster. There are also Special Weapons, which have a variety of effects, but limited ammo. At the outset, the player is allowed to enter five worlds: Spooky Forest!, Dusty Desert, Icy Mountain, Cavernous Caves, and the Crazy Asylum of Madness. The primary objective in the first four worlds is to collect a Key of Lunacy from one of Dr. Lunatic's poker buddies who resides in that part of the world. These four Keys of Lunacy are then used to give the player access to levels in the Crazy Asylum of Madness. Each world features a set of levels that can be accessed by the player by walking through the opening of that level, usually represented as either an alcove, hole in the wall, or an object with a hole in it, and the main objective of most of these levels is to collect all the brains scattered throughout the level. While the levels in a world can be completed in any order, most, if not all, of them must be finished in order to unlock levels that are closed to the player. The levels that are closed to the player at the start of a level also include the level in which the Key of Lunacy is located. In 2003, Dr. Lunatic With Cheese, an expanded version was released. It offers over 1000 levels to play in over 80 different unlockable worlds. And if 1000 levels aren't enough, use the built-in editor to create your own. There are over 200 different enemies you will face along the way. Whether you defeat them all, or simply bypass them, is up to you. Each level has a specific goal that you will want to complete. Other than that, you can try to collect all the items in the level and defeat all the enemies in order to get bonus coins. These coins are used in the SpisMall to unlock other worlds and get various items. Levels include underwater levels, levels with lava, stealth levels, and levels with disappearing bridges, just to name a few things you will encounter. Each level will require some strategy to get through in as quick a time as possible, while getting all the items. Speed gives you even more coins to spend. When you complete a level, you can choose to upload your score to the Internet to compare with others. Or, if your score isn't very good, just go back and try again. In 2017, it was made freeware. |
