BreakThru

February 5, 2010 - 6:49 pm No Comments

Everyone’s favourite cautionary fable used by school teachers across the globe is now available on an 8-bit cartridge!

BreakThru is the high-octane sequel to The Adventures of Bayou Billy, and it picks up where Bayou Billy left off, with players passed out on the floor after blowing in the cartridge for ten unrelenting minutes.

But once players get that new 72-pin connector installed, it becomes clear what BreakThru is: Billy’s Sunday drive away from the dangers of the bayou in his tricked-out jeep. To pilot this machine, players make use of the directional pad in order to move around the screen, the ‘B’ button to shoot’, and ‘A’ button to initiate hydraulics.

This time around players will have to look out for landmines, falling rocks, and an impenetrable rock wall that appears halfway through the first level, making it impossible to continue living and advance in the level.

Not so much a game as it is a metaphor for life.

Final Score: ★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
