SLACKERJACK: Hello Worlds

by Stuart Heritage

Readers, prepare yourself you be as confused as you’ve ever been while playing an online game. It’s not our fault. The blame lies entire with Hello Worlds. The point of Hello Worlds is to run around collecting coins and finding the exit. Which would be easy enough, except for the fact that you have to [...]

SLACKERJACK – Rescue A Chicken

by Stuart Heritage

The worst thing about writing these Slackerjacks is that we usually leave the game running in the background as we write about it. If the game’s got an annoying soundtrack, this can be murder. Rescue A Chicken is one such game. In Rescue A Chicken, you have to guide a chick to its nest by [...]

SLACKERJACK – Sprocket Rocket

You want to go on a crazy adventure where you have to modify a simple rocket to overcome obstacles utilising the basic principles of engineering? Great, because that’s precisely what Sprocket Rocket is. You fly around, adding little [...]

SLACKERJACK: Portal Defenders

by Stuart Heritage

If you’ve ever felt like running around smashing a load of cats in the face with a big spoon, Portal Defenders is your game. It’s wonderful. It’s an old-school side-scrolling beat ‘em up like Double Dragon, except that there’s one of you and the baddies – or at least some of them – are cats. [...]

SLACKERJACK: Bad Pixel

by Stuart Heritage

It’s a sign of how long we’ve been doing this that we never find any original games any more. Take Bad Pixel. It’s a brilliant game – it’s easy to understand and well designed and fun and all that, but it’s Cat With Bow Golf. You have to get something, in this case a bad [...]

SLACKERJACK: Stickshot

by Stuart Heritage

If there’s one thing we love, it’s online games where you have to shoot stickmen in the head. With a sniper. But if there’s one thing we hate, it’s tension. And Stickshot is unbearably tense. It’s a stickman sniper game, but it feels horribly realistic. You can’t just wade in and shoot at people willy [...]

SLACKERJACK: Homerun In Berserk Land

by Stuart Heritage

We can guarantee that you’ve never played a game like Homerun In Berserk Land before. Well, unless you’ve ever played any online game where you have to propel an object as far as possible using a mixture of trajectory and power. What? That’s all online games ever? Oh fine, be like that. Well, still, Homerun [...]

SLACKERJACK – Causality 2

by Stuart Heritage

Now this is a game we can really get behind – you only win Causality 2 if everyone dies at the end. Admittedly the way we play every game, from Mario to Pro Evo, most people die at the end. But with Causality 2 it’s deliberate. You have to kill everyone. But the method in [...]

SLACKERJACK – Screw The Nut

by Stuart Heritage

Yes, OK, ha ha ha. Screw. Nut. Why, this could almost be a game about having sexual intercourse with a testicle. Ha ha ha. But no, in actual fact Screw The Nut is a blazing action game where you have to put a nut on the end of a screw and then screw it on. [...]

SLACKERJACK – Coaster Maker

by Stuart Heritage

God, but Theme Park was a good game. Wasn’t it? Making rollercoasters so impossible that anyone who rode them ended up either dead or initiating a sort of puke-tsunami. Oh, those were the days. But now Coaster Maker is here! And it’s sort of identical! Hooray! In Coaster Maker, you have to set out a [...]
