Flash Game of the week - Get The Glass
This week I have a special flash game. I am not recommending this flash game based on its gameplay (stupid Hot Pursuit). Though I suspect any boardgame fans will be delighted with this game.
I am recommending Get The Glass (henceforth called GTG) because it is a beautiful and extremely well produced game. The game is produced by the Got Milk? campaign.
The basic premises of GTG is the Adachi crime family is trying to get to Fort Fridge to get the glass. The glass is said to promise unlimited amounts of milk. And why do they need so much milk. Well, it seems they are milk deprived and is suffering from various milk related aliments.
The whole game is played like a board game. There will be a dice on screen where you can click to pick it up and throw it across your screen to roll your dice. You will need to navigate through 5 areas to reach Fort Fridge. Every square you reach will be one of these four picks:
- Fortune - Draw a fortune card. Normally will help you advance a few squares.
- Misfortune - Draw a misfortune card. Go back a few squares or sent to the Milkatraz.
- The MasterMind - Roll again or lose one turn. Play a game of wits with the mastermind of Fort Fridge.
- Hideout - Saved from pursuit.
Now I don’t want to hide the fact that I have not even get out of the first area. Why? Hot Pursuit. When the securities of Fort Fridge ambushed you, you will play a game of Hot Pursuit. Essentially, you will maneuver the Adachi van by using mouse movement. This requires finger dexterity, which I am very poor at. I have not pass a single Hot Pursuit while I am playing.
Any time the Adachi family is caught, they will be send to the Milkatraz. There, they can serve your sentence (and lost a live), escape by playing a large wheel of fortune, or email a friend to post a bail (have not tried this). Normally, I will just test my luck and escape. Listen for some wonderful quotes from the Adachis.
I am really delighted with this beautiful game. Got to be the most beautiful flash game I have seen. So give Get The Glass a try, I think you will be mesmerised too. Oh yeah, remember to read the crime files, very humorous and authentic. Here are some more screenshots below.
