Appy 1000mg is another Ludum Dare entry by Sébastien Bénard (I spoke about his entry Time Pygmy here). It’s a mini-platformer that tells a short story that mainly goes for a shock effect. The main gimmick is that you start out in happy land, while occasionally flashing back to a disturbing vision of the world. When you take your medicine, it’s back to happy land, but when you’re back in horror land, fluffy creatures becomes mad suicide bombers. Mostly you explore a bit, collect a few items and get to the end of the level and the game. The game engine and the controls are good, but there’s just not much gameplay to this game and the shock effects barely register with a jaded modern audience. Nice try thought.
