As games get this ever more serious feel to them we start to see a reduction in the more ridicules fast paced games. Games that when you watch the trailer you begin to feel pumped for the game, well the latest Pro Janitor Police trailer really brings back this fast paced style that absolutely gets you pumped for the release.

The visuals are perfectly in sync with the action in the trailer and it all works together to generate this warm feeling of awesome. The trailer really gives you a feeling that the game is going to be fast paced, crazy, and of course a whole lot of fun.

Pro Janitor Police is the latest game from AdaptivElite and is a side scrolling arcade styled platformer.  The premise is equally as zany and follows a junior getting involved to a freak chemistry lab accident. You may feel a freak accident in a school would maybe just burn his hand here it releases a “mega virus” – Mega is finally being used for the right reasons.

This virus for some inexplicable reason begins mutating creatures and objects forcing this once humble janitor to take his trusty mop to the streets and start cleaning up this mess (literally). To be honest it sounds over the top and because of this nature it sounds awesome. It even has a  He-Man pose implemented into his move set, I don’t think this game can go too wrong.

Expect to see ten stages of unrelenting mop battling chaos as you try to clean these streets once and for all. Although the game currently has no release date expect to see a demo soon. The full game will be released on PC, Android and iOS.

Keep up with all of AdaptivElite’s progress on their website.

Last week had a somewhat heavy Ludum Dare focus (arguable like most weeks), so this week I will aim to avoid Ludum Dare, simply for a bit of verity. Today’s entry comes from the two man team at Toge Productions from Australia and is a very interesting zombie infection game.

Each level on Infectonator 2 you are given a scenario in one of the places around the world. In each of these scenarios you are given a variety of different goals for that scenario to complete. The goals range from the easy to the much more taxing and can take a significant time investment to complete them all, this is why the save feature does come in handy.

The infection mechanic is great and works well overall. There are upgrades that tie into the mechanics of the game which work well in adding additional levels of variety and customization.

The overall graphics styling has been very well put together in a great cartoon manner that adds a bit more of a light hearted take on this zombie epidemic. All the scenes have been lovingly created with a nice amount of variety, yet they all feel consistent within the theme the game portrays.

The audio has been put together well with a few interesting musical choices which vary enough to keep the music continually interesting. Although it has clearly been put a little bit on the back burner it ties into the game well and is something that cannot be complained about overall.

Average play time – less than an hour

Infectonator 2 is a fun little time waster which does feel repetitive after a short time, but it works perfectly as a minor distraction. It is well worth your time and has very well constructed gameplay mechanics that works well for its duration.

Infectonator 2 can be played on Newground here. Toge Productions site can be found here.
