A WarioWare for GBA mini-game recreation over at JohnnySlack.com, this lightweight Flash game is good fun for a short diversion.
Pyoro is an action arcade game in which the object is to avoid the falling plants by eating them using a very long tongue.
Control is with the right and left arrow keys to control bird movement. Simply position the bird facing a falling plant, and then press the space bar to gobble it up. The longer you press the space bar, the longer the tongue will travel.
The height at which a plant is eaten determines its point value, ranging from 10 points—near the ground—to 300 points nearer the top of the play field.
If you miss a plant, it will knock out the floor tile on which it lands, stranding you to one side. To balance this side effect, occasional white plants will fall that will, if eaten, restore one (purple leaves) or all (orange leaves) of the floor tiles. If you get hit by a falling plant, green or white, the game is over.
It's you against the highscore list in a cute and simple casual mini-game that looks and plays great. Click.
Update: It seems that Johnny's website has been taken down, but I've preserved his Flash games here for posterity sake. If his work pops up again on the Web somewhere I'll update the links accordingly.
Ooooh! I have this game on the warioware game! I have always liked it. I have to say though, the graphics are a little strange.
the white seeds dont restore a random number, the white seeds with the red leaves restore one, while the white seeds with the orangish leaves restore ALL
Thanks, Mike, for keeping me honest. I've updated the entry with the correct info. =)
By the way, my highest so far is 6270.
there should be a button for jumping
My high score is 12,880. Oh yeah!
The trick is to stay in the corner and try to get as many 300 pointers as possible. But make the top priority ones that will kill you or impede your ability to dodge ones in the area you're at. Don't even worry about missing ones on the far corner--it doesn't matter if you stay in the other corner most of the time.
great site, i'm a big fan. ;]
my highest is 13880. and i got on the highscore table!
