Apocalyptic RPG - Skinny Adventure Game
Skinny is a very cool physics-based, platform adventure puzzle game for older kids and teens where you must guide an unusual drone-like robot on a series of challenging quests to help various people in need. Unlock your imagination as you enter an enchanting online world of silhouettes, secrets, and mysterious intrigue… Set in a bleak yet strangely-beautiful, futuristic landscape, you have to maneuver the affable robot (known as Skinny due to his spider-like legs and thin metal arms) through underground mazes, into sky-high treehouses, and onto awkwardly-positioned ledges on an epic journey to recover batteries and other lost items. Under the tutelage of the enigmatic ‘Mama’, Skinny has the ability to reach impossible heights, nooks, and crannies with the help of his retractable, magnetic arms. This unique ability makes him the ideal candidate to hunt down the cunning Felix, who has stolen precious batteries from many of the inhabitants of the weird and wonderful post-apocalyptic world of ‘The System’.
Winner of the "Best Audio" prize at the prestigious Independent Propeller Awards, Skinny is unlike any exploration / adventure game you are likely to play online; the eerie soundtrack and shadowy graphics provide a unique and addicting immersive experience. This innovative game requires a highly inquisitive mind, strong analytical thinking with the ability to ‘think outside the box’, quick reactions, accurate mouse clicking, and more. The unusual narrative and intriguing characters make Skinny one of the most interesting strategy RPG games we’ve reviewed to date!
How to Play: Skinny is an explorer robot which has to search the enchanted landscape of ‘The System’, picking up lost batteries, talking to other creatures, discovering new items, and more. Control Skinny’s movement using the WASD Keys on your computer keyboard. To interact with other characters, approach them and press Spacebar. The opening level is a ‘dream sequence’ tutorial where you can get to grips with the controls and movement.
Once you enter the first level-proper (called "Mama’s Nest"), Skinny has been fitted with a retractable magnetic claw. Using your computer mouse or touchpad, aim with your cursor, and Left Click to shoot Skinny’s retractable claw toward your target. The large spheres that look like disco balls can be used as a kind of anchor / propeller. If Skinny’s claw comes into contact with one of these spheres, he is magnetically pulled toward it. Use this mechanism to launch Skinny toward higher ground. You can also smash certain wooden structures with the retractable claw. Enjoy the adventure!
