Despite looking like a kids game, Boogie Bunnies is an addictive puzzler that requires some pretty quick thinking, as well as a fast trigger finger. The game starts off simple, but builds up to a maddeningly difficult pace. There are a few missed steps, though, that keep the game from being the Lord of the Dance. For starters, its way too easy to misjudge exactly where youre launching your rabbit. If you look hard enough, you can see the lead bunny in the column waving to indicate where the shot will land. The problem is, the bunnies are so small and numerous, its hard to keep track of whos waving and whos just shuffling in place.
The other problem youre likely to run into is a simple matter of color. Generally, no two colors are going to give you any problems. Youre not likely to mistake green for blue. The exception for this is the orange and red colors used in the game. These two are so close on the color scale in Boogie Bunnies, that its hard to tell any difference between them. As a result, youll curse more than once when you think youre about to pull off a major combo, only to be left in a deeper dilemma than you were in before. Whats worse is that this could have easily been fixed by just replacing the orange rabbits with a different color, such as yellow orheres a novel conceptwhite.
Despite a few bungled dance steps here and there, Boogie Bunnies is still a strangely addictive experience. The games cutesy exterior may require the player to take a shot of insulin before playing, but the gameplay is hard to walk away from. If youre in the market for a new take on a classic puzzle game, itll probably be worth two-stepping over to the Live Marketplace and giving this game at least an audition
