Bunni: How We First Met is an incredibly simple resource management game that never really gets too busy or complicated. The mechanics in the game are easy to pick up, and the world size and variety of items offer just the right amount of variety to keep you bouncing from one area to another to check on your workers and further expand your dominion. It may seem simple by genre standards, but simple is something that's certainly welcome in a world of traditionally all-consuming resource sims.
A.V. Club writes: "It's said that the test of a well-written song is whether it can be recreated in any other genre or format and still hold up, but does the same hold true of videogames? If Eric Ruth's "retro de-make" of Left 4 Dead is any indication, the answer is a screaming yes. This new take on the Valve zombie shooter imagines what the game would be like had it come out on the NES in 1986, and it stands the test of alternate history remarkably well. The core mechanics and levels are all still there: There's no room for panic if you want to survive, so coordinating with your fellow player (that's two players max-the Four Score multi-tap didn't hit shelves until 1990) is essential for survival. Also present is the game's unforgiving difficulty, itself owing a great debt to the 8-bit era."
Our hero is a cute little bunny with a cute little bunny crown, a newcomer to an island chain that recently experienced an "incident." As a result, its inhabitants and natural vegetation have been damaged, and like any good hero, you need to restore the land to its former glory. Along the way, find the girl, fall in love and marry her. Of course everybunny knows that the best way to a girl's heart is to gather rocks and wood so you can buy her things she likes, so get to it!
