Something strange is happening down at the beer factory
. . . the place has become overrun with nasty zombies,
so little else remains but to call for the professional
beer belly slob, Burt.
In
this latest platform adventure from Americana, you play
Beer Belly Burt whose sole aim in life is to drink as
much beer as possible. This partly explains his peculiar
style of walking which is, to say the least, distinctly
wobbly.
Beer
Belly's factory consists of three departments: Shipping,
Production and Control, and each can be accessed from
outside. Inside there is a total of thirty two rooms,
all constructed in layers of platforms on which Beer
Belly happily bounces. However, life for a Beer Belly
is not all quaffing and bouncing, lordy me, no -- the
whole factory has become infested with green Zombies,
the worst kind!
Springing
out from doors they wander around firing the odd bullet
at him. But never fear -- Beer Belly is equipped with
his own weapon to ensure the destruction of these nasty
creatures. Of course if you're not the kind of person
who goes around shooting every thing in sight, then
Beer Belly can perform quite a nifty jump to avoid the
Zombies and their fire power.
In
addition to jumping, Beer Belly can also avoid them
by being transported from one platform to another by
the powerful air vents, which occasionally blast out
air, launching him up onto the next platform. But beware
of booby trapped air vents which spout fire, as they
leave Beer Belly burnt to a crisp.
To
help him make his way through the factory there are
exit signs which indicate the best route to access another
screen. However, failure to leave by the correct route
sees Beer Belly falling from the screen and ending up
in crumpled lump -- with a hangover no doubt.
On
some screens Beer Belly needs to unlock doors to gain
entry to another, and for this he needs a key which
is usually placed in some inconvenient position. Luckily,
only one Zombie appears on the screen at any one time,
so if you do happen to see any more, don't worry --
it's probably only the effect of the beer!
