Smasher and the Will o' the Thiccs
Smasher and the Will o' the Thiccs is a free silly action video game where players can wield the power of strange flames to grow and save others. Developed by CreatureUnknown, this 2D indie game is a furry top-down golf game that doesn't penalize players for going over the stroke limit. Made for the Weight Gaming 2020 Gain Jam, this game has players absorbing orange flames on the map, smashing through walls to reach their destination, and deflating people afflicted with a strange bloating phenomenon. However, the game can be pretty clunky and unstable.
The story of Smasher and the Will o' the Thiccs revolves around Dakota "Smasher" Johnson, a shy badger who dreams of bulking up in weight. When strange floating flames called "Will o' the Thiccs" appear in his city and start bloating anyone who touches them, Smasher steps up to clean the city of this menace. The gameplay involves clicking on Smasher and pulling back to slingshot him in any given direction. However, dragging the camera can be challenging, and as Smasher grows larger, it becomes harder to see the pointer line when aiming. The game lacks a detailed in-game tutorial for the other controls, but there are 9 levels in the main story campaign to practice. Beating the main game unlocks Blueberry Mode, which changes the objectives in the levels. The game also offers over 200 player skins for customization.
Overall, Smasher and the Will o' the Thiccs is a unique furry game that combines golf mechanics with funky game physics. It offers fun gameplay and two game modes, with no penalty for going past the stroke limit. However, the clunky controls and lack of a detailed tutorial can make it challenging to master the mechanics.
