Ahhh motherhood. I learned all that I know of it from a videogame. Specifically KPULV's Offapring Fling. This amazing parenting course has taught me that the maternal duties of small furry forest creatures include dispatching their foes by hurling their own babies as projectile weapons. This shining example of motherly love forms the basics of the gameplay mechanic in Offspring Fling. Now before you cry foul with your imagined instances of splattered carcasses littering the ground, fear not! Strict cartoon physics are at play here, ensuring that the baby fluffballs can absorb massive amounts of blunt-force trauma with nary a disheveled whisker. This is a fortunate situation, because to win the game you will need to hurl them about with reckless abandon.



Offspring Fling looks and feels like a SNES-Era Nintendo title, and that is quite apparent from the hilariously cheesy trailer on the game's website. The object of the game is to rescue all of the forest creature's babies who have been scattered as a result of an attack by the main antagonist, the Dino-Boss. You will have to solve many physical puzzles by flinging the critters across the screen, through gaps, and into the doorway at the end of each stage.



Now in my humble opinion Offspring Fling is a wonderful love letter to the puzzle gaming fans of the 16-bit past, and it has a metric fluffton of awesome gameplay value for its modest price. Adding to that value is a robust level editor site with a built in community to share your creations. Literally endless hours of critter tossing puzzles await. Just don't let PETA catch you, and you'll have a great time!
