Problems beset False Alarm from the get-go, given that the controls-particularly when you need to move the screen left or right to identify upcoming obstacles-are quite sluggish. It's more fun letting the little critters die than helping them reach the end of the level. Each of these abilities is mapped to one of the Xbox 360's four face buttons, and the left and right triggers are used to move along a level.
At your disposal are four abilities: nitro will blow apart certain obstacles fire will melt ice and make the friends run ice will cover holes as well as freeze a friend in place and the action ability is used to turn levers, press buttons, and more. The basic gameplay structure is lifted straight from Lemmings Happy Tree Friends characters Flippy, Flaky, Mole, Russell, and Nutty will blithely wander through a level, and it's up to you to make sure that they don't fall victim to the many traps and hazards along the way. Although the Flash cartoon series found plenty of fans thanks to the imaginatively over-the-top violence it perpetrated on its characters, this game won't win many plaudits thanks to its unimaginative level design, poor AI, and clunky controls.Įven diehard fans of the cartoon series may find this one tough to like, because instead of reveling in the insane amounts of violence and dismemberment that the titular woodland creatures go through in an average Flash episode, False Alarm tasks you with making sure that the friends avoid as much harm as possible as they traverse through 30 danger-filled levels. Happy Tree Friends False Alarm is a side-scrolling puzzle game available on Xbox Live Arcade that requires players to safely guide a group of the overly cute Happy Tree Friends past levels filled with various environmental dangers.
