Fugdale’s Funhouse

Review: This game has a pretty original concept. You stand in a deserted wasteland. You resemble a stick in the ground or a tree stump of sorts. Below the screen you have a limited number of growth spurts you can choose from on each level. Each growth spurt grows your tree in different ways. For example, one button grows all branches straight out; another splits each branch off into a fork; and others only grow the right branches or the left branches.

Floating above, you will find several gold rings. You need to grow the branches of your tree in such a way that you can capture all the rings by moving your branches through the center of each ring. You only have so many moves you can make on each level to accomplish this task. The first 5 levels won’t give anyone too much trouble, but after that, things start getting more complicated and the game starts throwing obstacles in the way as well, such as sparklers which ignite your tree and burn it to the ground. Luckily you can restart any level if you mess up or if your tree burns down. And you don’t have a time limit to complete the task so you can take your time and try to figure out the best combination of moves to make to captures all the rings.

The game has 16 levels and as long as you play using the same browser the game will remember your progress when you come back. Give this unique puzzler a twist. It’s great for arbor day fun.
