Strollin’

December 5, 2011

Internet memes are jokes that spread around the Internet due to their oddness or repetitive nature. They may seem completely off the wall or hard to understand to people that aren’t in on the joke. To people that are into memes, they can be hilarious they often quickly spread throughout the Internet.

People that loves memes will definitely be interested in checking out the game “Strollin” at the “Stickpage” website. This is a tightly programmed and well designed action platformer game that is built upon several of the most recently popular Internet memes.

For example, the “Microsoft Paint” designed “Troll Face” is featured throughout the game at various points. The “FFFFFFFUUUUUUUU” face is also used regularly. The background music is a synthesized version of the infamous “Trolololo” video. If these references are already making you laugh, wait till you see how they are used. Dying often causes the “FFFUUU” face to pop up followed by a loud, incoherent swear.

However, if Internet memes are new to you, mysterious or even completely unfunny, this game may still be right up your alley. The first advantage of the game is the simplicity of its controls. The arrow keys on the keyboard control the player’s actions. The “up” arrow causes the character to jump. The “A” button causes the mysterious “Strollin’” action, which causes the player to be briefly invulnerable. Players must fill up the “Strolling” bar up before they can use the power.

Players earn points by walking to the right and avoiding falling blocks. Different blocks affect you in different ways. For example, ice blocks cause you to slide, bomb blocks cause your character to rocket into the air while spike blocks immediately end your game. Players must avoid the spike blocks, as they earn more points and cash each second they play the game.

Players can use the money they earn in the game to purchase upgrades in the shop to help play the game more successfully. Upgrades help the players run faster, jump higher, stroll longer and many other positive effects. Upgrades last through each game, meaning players will last longer each time they play. This helps add to the replay value, as players want to play longer.

Anybody that is interested in great action games with a humoristic twist will enjoy “Strollin.” The memes will keep players laughing while the game play keeps them coming back.
