Title: September 2020 - Smarty and the Nasty Gluttons
Post by: NinjaKat on September 02, 2020, 09:32:34 pm
OCS/ECS Game of the Month for September, 2020, is Smarty and the Nasty Gluttons!

Smarty is an 11-year old schoolboy whose grandfather is a wise and creative scientist. Smarty likes to spend his free time in Grandpa’s laboratory experimenting with all sorts of ideas and gadgets. Smarty has a dog called Slurpy who is his best buddy – besides Grandpa. Smarty also plays the saxophone but he often finds daily practice less interesting than something else.

One day Grandpa makes a huge breakthrough in his lab. The dream machine he’s been obsessed with for years finally works! With the machine, Grandpa has the ability to enter other people’s dreams. He’s planning to use this power for helping all those suffering from sleep disorders.

But then unexpected bad things start to happen. Dr. Nightmare – Grandpa’s archenemy and a less capable but highly vicious inventor – breaks into the lab and steals the dream machine while taking Grandpa into captivity. Then Nightmare uses the machine to take both himself and Grandpa into the dream world where he’s aiming to use the machine to control people’s dreams and ultimately gain control of people’s lives.

Smarty managed to hide behind some chemistry equipment while witnessing everything. Seeing Grandpa and Nightmare vanish into thin air with just a flash of light and a roaring sound, Smarty immediately realized what was going on. Luckily he has the rare capacity of lucid dreaming which enables him to function in the dream world equally well as in the realm of our daily lives.

Later that night, after falling asleep, Smarty is equipped with Grandpa’s Inventor’s Hat and Hypno Zapper and also gets accompanied by his best mate Slurpy. All set, the company embark on an adventure with a single purpose: rescuing Grandpa and stopping Dr. Nightmare from gaining full control over the dream machine. However, hideous as only he can be, Nightmare has not left the path leading to his secret chamber unguarded. This is where the player steps in and the game begins. Good luck!

Found a little bit of time but nowhere near that score Jacob - great job!

I think I am missing something with this game, but haven't had a chance to dive into it.  Thought I would/should play a bit though and get on the board.  What are the rest of us doing?

Try knocking one enemy into 2 or more instead of just one and get larger bonuses and powerups!

And if you hold the joystick button you get access to any special powers if you have any.
