Do not fear. It’s not what it sounds like – I assure you.
When I came across this game, I had two immediate and conflicting responses. For one, I was wondering if I should ask an adult if it was alright for me to play it. Secondly, I became so hot and bothered that I figured it would be unwise to talk to anyone regardless of the circumstances.
I thought it was going to be an amazing game like Baseball. Needless to say, I was let down in more ways than one.
In Booby Kids, players dig holes and set traps for enemies from a lovely 3/4th bird’s eye view perspective. The directional pad moves the player around the screen, while the ‘B’ button digs holes. Smart players will press ‘B’ all around themselves, forming a barricade, then directional-pad themselves into the appropriate direction (that is, a hole) until they win the game (that is, turn off their Nintendo Entertainment System).
Despite its shortcomings, this addition to the suicide genre is welcome, as it gives players a reason to untie the noose from the rod in their closet. Awesome! And while I was disappointed, it did keep me from being sent to jail for a second-strike possession of a certain type of illegal pornographic material.
Through the power of Christ, I will beta this addiction. I mean… beat.
