Lesbian Spider-Queens of Mars is the latest game from Anna Anthropy (although it was released a couple of months ago). Based on the classic arcade game Wizard of Wor, it puts you in the role of one of the titular Spider-Queens as she attempts to put down a slave revolt and find the source of the rebellion. Instead of a gun, your character has a crystal staff that automatically ensnares and draws in slaves from the direction you’re facing. Zapping someone releases a collectible crystal in the opposite direction, forcing you to move around the map if you want a high score. It’s a well-designed game with fair challenge and plenty of fun touches.
When Pigs Fly is a new platformer from Anna Anthropy (Mighty Jill Off) and her first Flash title. It’s a fun, frustrating little game. I finished in 15.25 with 110 accidents, which is surprisingly less accidents than I have each day in real life!
And I thought I jilled off pretty hard the first time! Jill Off Harder, the expanded version of Auntie Pixelante’s masochistic tower-climbing platformer, is now available. The game includes numerous tweaks to the original version, but the biggest draw is the super-tough second tower, which is inspired, in part, by the Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2 (aka “The Lost Levels”). Thankfully, Tower Two isn’t merely a rehash of the first, and it’s got plenty of tricks up its sleeves. Much more fun, too, in my opinion.
Two fan-alicious competitions in the works:
In the first one, you are battling for the opportunity to appear as a character in Time Gentleman, Please, the sequel to Zombie Cow’s hilarious adventure game Ben There, Dan That!. All you have to do to enter is let Ben and Dan know what kind of character you would play in the game. Leave your entry in the comments section of the contest post.
The second competition is a promotion for Jill Off Harder, the upcoming expanded version of Auntie Pixelante’s Mighty Jill Off. Submit your Jill fanart to vie for either a pair of running shoes or a notebook, both hand-painted to your liking by Mighty Jill Off conceptual artist James Harvey. This particular Jill Off ends on Halloween.
