Waterslide Island
Waterslide Island is an outrageously fun 3D action game where cute, cuddly animals race down dangerous, death-defying water slides. Bring your bathing suit and join Bradley (a portly pig), Simone (a bikini-clad monkey), and six other animal friends for a splashing good time. Grab bubbles! Construct custom courses! Knock other riders off the slide! (Don't worry -- no animals were hurt in the making of Waterslide Island.) Created by one programmer over the course of two and a half years, Waterslide Island features a rich 3D world with 10 wacky slides to race, collect bubbles, and do battle on. Integrated with Waterslide Island is a powerful level editor, which enables players to create custom-built slides. A lively tropical music soundtrack rounds out this aquatic free-for-all. Enjoy your next vacation at Waterslide Island! Our Review: Featuring some colouful 3D graphics, a wonderful tropical soundtrack and an extremely novel premise Waterslide Island is a refreshing and hugely fun game for all the family. The action plays much like a luge, with the controls used for steering left and right, sitting up, lying down or using your arms to give you some much needed extra power. In terms of playing styles there is more than enough here to keep you happy from plain racing on the ten tracks to battling the other animals (you can shove others off the high-speed toobs in a refreshingly un-P.C. way). While there are a few glitches with the collisions, and it takes a bit of getting used to, the fun nature of the game and weird array of stunts such as jumps and teleports wins through in the end. One may argue the physics of Waterslide Island (can waterslides really go up hill?), but it does a great job of bringing waterslides to your PC. From the speedy curves and steep drops to the satsifying splash at the end Waterslide Island is fun with a capital F.
