Games Thursday : Giga Rensya Mini-Games Part I

Thursday, June 5th, 2008, 12:00 amRoys

While Giga Rensya’s mini-games are never going to win any awards for deep gameplay, some of these mini-games are guaranteed to keep you at the computer for the next 5 to 10 mins or so. Furthermore there’s a total of 23 mini-games to choose from starring the cat-like (Qoo-like?) creatures Kutar that appear in every single game.

While there’s several that stand above the rest, I’ve decided to list all of the available games for the sake of completeness together with short instructions for each since it’s not always apparent what you need to achieve in some of these games. I’ll introduce the first 12 games in alphabetical order of their filenames and leave the rest for next week.

To install each game, just press enter when you run the setup files and they will extract the game into a subfolder.

Apple

Frankly speaking, there isn’t much much fun to be had here - holding down the left and right mouse buttons will move Kutar left or right respectively to collect falling apples and acorns. Stay clear of the mushrooms through as collect a single one of them will end the game.

Balloon

Distribute balloons to the visitors at the theme park - give the little ones small balloons (left click) and the big Kutars the regular ballloons (right click). Things get hectic quickly and be alert for queue jumpers.

Sword Master

Not sure what’s the lightsaber-wielding samurai doing on stage here. Left click and right click to strike left or right. You need to hit those lightsaber ninjas only when they are within striking distance and one missed stroke means it’s game over (somehow reminds me of iaido).

Concert

Giga Rensya’s latest game pits you as a crowd control specialist at a J-Pop concert where your job is to keep the overenthusiatic crowd in line (literally). Left click on anyone who steps out of line to push them back but push an innocent fan and you’re out of a job.

End Roll

Steer your bike left (left click) or right (right click) and avoid those stones.

Hip Dance

Left and right click to throw your hands in the air! Oh and remember to follow the leader.

Harvest

Left and right click to dodge the obstructions when harvesting in the most incredibly obstacle-strewn wheat field in the world.

Ikki

Mash your left button to an attempt to quaff all the water from the water dispenser in record time. A surefire way to destroy the left mouse button (even better than Diablo II!)

Kodomo

Choose the correct Kutar with the colour formed by mixing the colours of the two Kutar that appear on the stage. 10 seconds are given for choosing the correct Kutar for each pair and points are awarded for each second remaining on the clock. Take your time to think carefully since the wrong answer ends the game.

Powder

Left and right click and move Kutar to collect the powder sprinkled from the hose above. (why can’t they just get a longer pipe?) Don’t let the powder fall anywhere else but the bag!

Lift

Left click at the right moment to help push those lazy butts onto the ski lift.

Lift X

Left click at the right moment to help push those lazy butts onto the ski lift. Oh wait, sounds exactly like Lift above which it is except for a set of lovely Christmas themed graphics.

Download these games from Giga Rensya or check out Independent Gaming Freeware Database where I found these games. Stay tuned for the rest next Thursday!
