![]() Sure, when you break it down the graphics are nothing more than poor particle effects and simply animated stick figures on top of a static background. The developers have said they wanted to make the game look like it was held together by “string, tape, and bubblegum.” The result is akin to a kid conjuring an elaborate game with little more than his imagination and whatever junk he finds lying about the house. ![]() Thankfully, DYC reveals surprising depth as you progress.įinally and most obviously, an endearing sensibility really sells the whole package. As strangely engaging as abusing defenceless stick figures proves to be, it's clear that it takes a little more than primitive violence to make for compelling gameplay. You can fling him straight up and let him crash back down, bounce him off the side of the screen, dunk him, spike him, juggle him… basically whatever it takes to crush his little crayon frame. The standard course of action (and most immediately gratifying) is to simply flick your wrist and let him fly.

The only goal in sight is to cleanse the screen of all vile enemies. There is a little variety in the enemy types and some tactical options for upgrading your defences, but this is monotone design in the purest sense. Scores of button-headed stick figures prance across the screen in endless waves with one intention - to pound your castle until it crumbles. If you aren’t familiar with the original, DYC is a old school shooter hybrid that plays exactly like it sounds.
