Adult Swim really has the market for humorous and ironic games (not to mention "adult" and quite possibly disgusting) covered. The latest one is called Floater Pro, and while it does not deal with the concept of human excrement as the term usually denotes, it does come close.
The objective of the game is to use finger swipes to move a dead body down a river, maneuvering it around various obstacles (such as grizzly bears and eskimos in the first level) and getting the body to the end of the river within the given time limit. The game starts with a "redneck" body but as the user finishes level he or she can graduate to such bodies as "hooker," "mobster," or "granny."
As with other Adult Swim games, the graphics and animation are excellent and the subject matter is macabre. One can really mutilate that body before getting it to the end.
Every level represents a season. So far, I’ve only played the winter level. I believe unlocking future levels involves getting the body to the end of the river under a certain time.
The game comes with a very good instructional slideshow so using it is fairly easy. It also comes with my favorite feature of being able to play the audio library in the background. The only downside that comes with the game is that one can’t play any body or any level immediately.
There are many worse ways to spend a buck. If poking dead bodies with a stick is something that fascinates you, then buy this game.
Quick Take
Value:High.
Would I Buy Again:Quite probably.
Learning Curve:Low.
Who Is It For:Those with a sick and macabre sense of humor.
What I Like:The concept. The graphics.
What I Don't Like:Can't unlock your choice of bodies at first go.
Final Statement:If you don't get Floater Pro, you'll probably just sink.
