Hedgehog Challenge
The best way to describe 'Hedgehog Challenge' is to say that its extremely addictive. The developer says he based 'Hedgehog Challenge' game on Icy Tower, however it also reminds me very much of the iPhone game called Doodle Jump.
The aim of the online Flash game is to keep jumping the Hedgehog upward, from one branch / log to the next. Trying to keep ahead of the vertical falling ground beneath him.

One sentence description:
|
A vertical platform game for kids, where they need to jump the hedgehog from one branch / log to the next, collecting a high score along the way. |
Scenario / World:
|
The game scenario is set in a forest, just where you'd expect to find a hedgehog! |
Mode:
|
Single Player |
Objectives:
|
Jump upward from one branch to the next. Branches fall downward, so be careful not to fall off. |
Characters:
|
The main playing character is the hedgehog. |
Audio / visual aesthetics:
|
The vector style graphics remind me of wallpaper. Very effective for an online Flash game.
Music is very loud, yet addictive. Is fast moving, bouncing / jumping to the ear. I guess you could say it makes you want to keep bouncing that hedgehog upward.
|
Genre(s):
|
kids, children, girls, boys |
Possible Target Audience:
|
Suitable for kids aged between 7 and 12. Possibly more towards the higher age, due to the challenge of the faster falling branches / logs. |
Itemization of game elements:
|
Game is played with keyboard arrow keys.
Game starts only when the player takes their first upward jump.
Basic instructions for how to play is shown on opening screen, along with a Start button.
Once the game has started, there is no way to return to instructions. Although game is self explanatory.
A link is shown to the developers website on the top right corner, and along the bottom.
Your score is shown on the top left, as is the animated clock graphic.
When the game is over, the player is given the choice to play again.
|
Itemization of game rules:
|
Jump the hedgehog from one branch to another without falling down. Branches constantly move downwards.
When a clock rings out, branches speed up, making it harder to keep a hedgehog above the bottom edge.
High scores are given by creating combos. A chain of combos equals a higher score.
To create a combo, jump upward, keeping both the 'Space Bar' and 'UP' arrow pressed down.
