Scenario
Blupi
leads a quiet life on his planet until a strange meteorite crashes
in a desert area. Only much later does Blupi realize that his crops
are being destroyed by huge spiders. Though he's always been a tough
and healthy type, a weird virus has been causing him to sneeze and
cough alot lately.
What's
going on?
In fact,
the meteorite is a spaceship. The only passenger on board is a mean-looking
robot. Its goal is to build factories that produce a variety of
aliens. Help Blupi use the resources of his beautiful planet to
chase these invaders away!
The
game
There
are some 30 missions to figure out, ranging from really easy to
completely mind-boggling. The
goals of the missions are varied: to grow food, to find a strategic
point, to eradicate aliens, etc...You may need just one Blupi to
accomplish the missions, or dozens!

A
cool interface
Planet
Blupi's interface is designed to remain as simple as possible, so
you can have fun and concentrate on the game. There's no need for
long strokes across the screen with the mouse. You don't waste time
choosing buttons and icons from a large display somewhere out of
reach. A small display on the left gives general information about
the mission in progress. When you want Blupi to do a specific action,
just click on the right spot in the scenery. A palette of actions
available pops up, and you can make your choice. Actions are smooth
and quick. A
limited series of optional exercises can be used to learn how to
play the game.
A
large selection of scenery
Blupi's
planet has 4 distinct areas :
·
Open prairie
· Deep woods

· Snowy landscape
Each
mission is carried out in a vast area of 40,000 cells (200x200 square
elements). This great product will even allow you to draw the scenery,
set the goals and create your own missions.
