[Around the Web] Robot Unicorn Attack gets an (somewhat)evolution, so to speak

Acid overload commence.

Sometimes the simplest games can be the most addicting. Be it Plants versus Zombies, Angry Birds, Words with Friends, Draw Something, or Bejeweled. But this game, I suppose, tops it off in the addiction meter.

Robot Unicorn Attack is a simple browser game developed by Adult Swim (which I don't know for sure if they are related to the Adult Swim of Cartoon Network then), which follows a side-scrolling platform game genre. The object of the game is to reach the end of the stage in one piece, which means jumping over obstacles or dashing and destroying through them. And did I mention cliffs? Yeah, that too.

Rainbow Brite and her steed got an argument, so he went solo.

 Basically, that's the whole story of Robot Unicorn. But what makes it into a catchy game? Well, getting high scores, the thrill of the leftmost edge chasing after you, and the background music. Yep, the song 'Always', which topped the charts for gods-know-how-many-weeks in the radio during the late 90s (not to mention it had remixes too), and the wtf-music video of it.

So what's left to make this game better? Well, they did release two more versions of it, and a sequel that makes it more....appealing. Yeah, I've played this game too. Not-too-long ago I almost wasted half a weekend's day just playing this.

I'm thinking of either a super sentai's robot team ready to merge, or Beast Wars.

Enter the Dragon Robot Unicorn Attack Evolution (gee, what a catchy theme for an obvious name). The game mechanics are still the same, but this time, the unicorn changes into another animal form when destroying 4 crystal stars. From unicorn to panda, to wolf, to gorilla, tiger, and finally with a commanding shout of FUS RO DAAAAAAAH!!!! into a dragon. The only catch is you have to keep destroying crystal stars; miss too many stars and you'll revert back to the unicorn form.

Po of Kung Fu Panda and Nyan-cat's illegitimate child. Or what.

Well, I leave it up to you whether this tickles your funny bone, or you're already diving into this game. Robot Unicorn Attack Evolution is available in Adult Swim's website, as a Facebook app, and Android devices. iOS devices will have to wait for now. 

As for me, the only robot unicorn that I be dreaming from now on is this:

F**k you I'm THE Unicorn.
