Bait

Moby ID: 45662

Description

It was a normal day for our hero the worm, when suddenly! An ugly-looking kid abducted him to use as bait! Luckily for him, the kid trips and the worm escapes from his clutches. But he has to make his way back home through a field... That can't be too hard. Can it?

Bait is a puzzle game in the vein of Soko-Ban. You, as the worm, have to go through 30 different levels split between three difficulties and push barrels out of your way in order to make it to the door to the next level. These barrels can be used to get across holes on the ground. You can also pick up Apples for bonus points, Clocks for extra time, or use Trampolines to jump between portions of each level. If you don't complete a level in time, then a bird will fly by and eat you!

It's simple, easy, but very funny

The Good
It's simple to deal with, even a child can learn how to play it; it's easy, but not trivial, and it's funny.

The Bad
It should have more phases... it has only a few and when it ends you feel you'd like to have even more obstacles.

The Bottom Line
I'm not used to play games, only the ones I really like. It's a fun game that shows you the point of view of a little worm trying to escape from a bird... It has obstacles that you have to think to get them out of your way home. I used to have it, but when I moved from US to Brazil I lost my CD... and I could never find it any more. I'd like to give my 5 years old child a chance to play it and, of course, my husband and I too.
