World 2-37: Hedgehog Launch 2

Hedgehog Launch 2

Hedgehog Launch 2 is another typical launch game, with the only immediately obvious difference being that you launch from the bottom of the screen upwards. After a vomit-inducing amount of flipping around, your hedgehog will launch from your giant sling shot (which is, among other things, upgradable at the shop), you will be able to control his movements in the air, leaning him left and right. If you land him on the floating beams, he will propel higher into the air and score you a few bucks. Height and amount of cash is awarded in increasing amounts which are easily identified by their colour. There are also floating coins to be collected as an added bonus.

All this money is used to buy a vast assortment of upgrades, varying from standard bar height and fuel tanks, to a radar that shows the upcoming beams and coins as you fly, and parachutes which slow your fall down to allow for a more thorough collection and flight times to multiply your bonus each round (which in turn, awards you with more money!). As far as launch games go, this is not one of my favourites, but it definitely gave me a few hours of entertainment over a few casual plays.
