NWR: Boingz Impressions
Boingz is yet another example of a "garage" game coming to WiiWare, with a surprising publisher: RealNetworks, a company better known for streaming audio on the Internet. Boingz plays somewhat like The Lost Vikings… if The Lost Vikings were made of rubber bands. The Boingz are phallic characters that come in three colors, and the object of the game is to direct the Boingz to their respectively-colored goals.
The Boingz can walk as well as make short jumps. At the beginning of each stage all of the Boingz are inactive except one. That one must touch the others to wake them, after which the player can switch among any of them. Each Boingz can be grabbed by a knob on the top of their heads using the Wii Remote. Once grabbed, a large red arrow appears showing the trajectory of the character. Players can then move the Remote around the fixed axis and releasing their grip will launch the Boingz.
