Visual Concepts is set to prove they're not just the premiere developer of sports games. Take the buddy-team stylings of Toejam and Earl combined with classic Tex Avery animation and you've got a pretty good idea of what to expect from Visual Concepts' upcoming Floigan Brothers. Of course, there's an evil developer who wants the oil and will stop at nothing to grab the land. The characters and junkyard look as though they've been yanked from the golden age of American animation, and it's a welcome sight indeed. If you enjoy slapstick comedy and pratfalls, you're going to want a copy of this game.
Players control a little guy.
Since being little in a cartoon world means a certain degree of helplessness, having a brother the size of an ox is a definite asset. Unfortunately, he's also about as smart as a sack of hair, so getting him to cooperate is another matter altogether. Visual Concepts has put a strong emphasis on the relationship between the pair. Say you want to reach something that's too high to grab. If Hoigal badgers his brother enough, Moigal will eventually get angry, roll his smaller sibling into a ball and bat him skyward.
