AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! for the Awesome is an interesting indie title from Dejobaan Games, LLC and Owlchemy Labs. The premise is that you are a daring jumper, you leap off buildings for the fun of it.You fly link your wearing a wingsuit and have to duck and weave your way though buildings and try and hit the landing zone.
Im going to have to point this out, the name, AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! for the Awesome, has a lot of "a"s in it. There is one upper-case A and then two, three, four and five moving left to right, while the same can be said for the lower-case "a" just the inverse. Just an interesting fact I discovered last night that bears no significance, so on with the review.
The design of the game fits nicely. Its the future, floating buildings, walkways of light, odd shiny code thing floating through space. From the intro video, it gives you a sense that this new world is heavily controlled and even the slightest step out of line would end badly with the people in charge, so you try to defy them by skydiving of course.
There isn't a story apart from what you glean from the intro video, but this is an arcade style game, it doesn't need a story. You rack up points and beat high scores, what else is there to know?
There are tones of levels, levels upon levels and even more upon that, you can definitely spend some serious time on this game. The way the levels are laid out is in a grid format, each level is a square. The starting unlocked level is the tutorial and you spend "teeth" that you earn playing levels to unlock more. The catch is that you can only unlock levels directly connecting unlocked levels. (see below)
The controls take some getting used to, the wsad keys move you in the respective direction, while the mouse controls the camera. Moving it to the edge of the screen however rotates your character which is incredibly awkward while deploying the parachute. What you have to get your head round is that you fall like your wearing a wingsuit, you can travel surprisingly far in a very small vertical distance.
There are many think you can do to rack up more points. You can make hugs, flying continuously close to objects. Kisses you fly near an object and it lights up. You do get people cheering you on, on platforms, as you fly by them you can thump them up, inversely there are protesters who you can flip off.These things add an interesting element to the game.
Overall this game is different and its fun. More games that break the everyday FPS/RTS and generic genera never hurt when their done well. If you want to try something new, go for it you wont regret it.
You can find the game on steam or enter the giveaway here.
