When we happened on a game called PEACH BLOOD (stylized in all caps) while browsing for some new games, we just knew that we were onto something weird. Or maybe the fact that gave it away was that the developer is called Lard Games. Yes. Lard Games. All I can imagine is an office full of open cans of flowing Crisco and while I know in my heart that this is not the case, part of me wants it to be true.
So anyway, here we are playing this very odd game starring characters that in fact, kind of look like they are made out of fat blobs of shortening aka lard. The goal is pretty simple: run away from things bigger than you and eat things smaller than you and all of these bipedal things of varying sizes are called “Vembers”. Essentially you just run around trying to eat small Vembers with your flip-top head while trying to avoid the larger Vembers and their flip-top heads. That’s it.
Levels? Peach Blood has no need for levels.
Right. There are powerups and bonuses to pick up too such as strange magic mushrooms and coins which have varying effects. Some of these items for example, will turn you into a giant, all powerful Vember, but only for a limited time before reverting you back to normal size. On the negative side, there are some pick-ups such as ice cubes and light bulbs that you do not want since they will incur varying adverse or negative effects. Now the one thing PEACH BLOOD does not have are levels, because when it comes down to it really, having actual levels would kind of break the mood. Instead, you can just endlessly go about your day consuming Vembers without worrying about levels or any such nonsense. Go ahead and try it. It’s super weird.
