I killed Bambi. Yes,
the Bambi. I did it like 20 times. And I liked it.
We’ve talked before about
the role sadism plays in our enjoyment of cute games. Apparently, there’s only about thirty seconds of gameplay time between, “Oh, what an adorable puppy,” and “I wonder what would happen if I chucked this frisbee at his head.” Or, if
Nintendogs is
too queer an example, think about
Katamari. Sure, all those brightly-colored people wandering around are cute–but they’re a heck of a lot cuter when they’re rolled up in your giant ball, screaming for help.
Well, the same “It’s cute, therefore I want to see it suffer” rule seems to go for
Orisinal games. Apparently I’m the last person on the face of the cool, indie games planet who didn’t know about these simple, pretty flash games. Many of them use adorable animal avatars. It’s your goal to help these animals reach general goals of safety and happiness. Of course, if you lose, these adorable animals fall to their deaths.
