ToppsTown: Crazy Cam

Woo! Time to talk about my other favorite ToppsTown game, Crazy Cam. All told I have about ten favorite games, but this is my favorite of the favorites. ;)

I have plenty to say about this one. It went through several iterations, and I am so happy with the way it ended up.

In terms of cameos, I'd like to mention that one of our copywriters, JP, is the crazyfan (red guy). Also, LaunchForce's Brett is the crazy dancing guy and Mark is the cowboy. Studs, these guys.

So let's talk game tips. Here's a screenshot of how awesome I am... #1 on the leaderboard at this moment, as my avatar Sir Sushi Sushi. Like my awesome pig arm? That cost me a pretty penny. (Yeah, you'd think I'd get some in-game perks, but nothin' happenin'.)

Playing the game well is easy. First off, find the crazyfan. When you see the red guy on the screen, hunt him down with great vigilance! He's worth 10x any of the other characters (500 points, I believe!).

My only other tip is to move in chunks. Instead of scrolling all over the screen, move a few inches and pause, then move a few inches and pause again. Why? Because all of the characters are animated to move slightly (or in Brett's case, flailing wildly), and your eye will pick it up much more easily if you stop the board from moving around. Personally I move along the bottom, then up along the top.

If there's an exception to this rule, it'd be the mascot (tiger). He stands out enough that you can usually just flounder around looking for him. The hardest to find, which you already know if you've played at all, are the baby and the grandmother... they just blend right in to the majorly blue background.

Did that help?
