Pooper Scooper
The Death Squad
You'd be forgiven for thinking that every Death Squad game is poop themed, but of the 10 games they've released so far, it's only half of them. Pooper Scooper falls into that half, and as long as you're okay with that, it's a cracking game. As usual we are treated to davey's signature graphics style of cartoony, character based sprites and backgrounds. For the colours to work, sprites have to move in 8 pixel steps, so gameplay is a bit twitchy; however, clever use of animation reduces the 'visual jump' quite effectively. Pooper Scooper builds on previous games and has a tag-team mechanic. You switch between different characters to perform a specific task, in this case to rid the local park of dog turds and flashers. It can get a bit repetitive, but it's worth a proper try out at least.
