![]() ![]() It’s rare that you’ll die, as getting through stages in FlingSmash is relatively easy the real challenge will be collecting all of the power ups and items for a high score. There’s no slowing down, as getting stuck behind will lead you to get eaten up by the Hydracoil, a dragon-like creature who thinks you’re a tasty melon or something. Most of the game’s levels will have you moving Zip from right to left, with the game screen pushing you on as you go. This gets exceptionally irksome as you’re thwarted while you work your hardest to make make sure you’re moving Zip through the right passageways through each level, and trying to grab the items you’ll need to unlock later stages. Because the “smash” mechanic is always “on,” sometimes moving your wrist down (with the intention to then smash Zip up) will result in a smash… in the wrong direction. In fact, the game discourages it - swinging the controller wildly will likely lead to misplaced smashes, heading down wrong paths, and general controller-tossing frustration.ĭespite its accuracy, FlingSmash’s controls can be a point of irritation from time to time. There’s no need for wild, fast, or hard swings here. It’s all about lining up shots (you can stop Zip from moving mid-flight, and he’ll bounce in place waiting for your swing), being patient, and flicking your wrist gently and precisely. Accurate and well-placed swings are critical to success in FlingSmash. The on-screen indicator isn’t just for boasting about the tech, though. ![]() Move your wrist slightly in any direction and the on-screen Wii Remote will shift it’s truly one-to-one, and it’s rather stunning how accurately it can pick up even the most delicate movements. On the bottom screen, the game displays a Wii Remote and its current direction relative to your television. Truly, FlingSmash is a showpiece for how accurate the Wii MotionPlus is, and it couldn’t come at a better time, given the recent release of Nintendo’s competitors’ motion control peripherals. The idea is to use the Remote to carefully fling Zip in a desired direction - like a tennis or ping-pong ball - generally to smash through blocks, elude enemies, or collect items. This shouldn’t be an issue, as the new Wii Remote Plus - Nintendo’s new controller that combines MotionPlus with a Remote - ships with every copy of the game. It’s a game that requires the Wii MotionPlus add-on for the Wii Remote. (The game can also be played as or with a second player as Pip, Zip’s female counterpart both characters are functionally identical, except one presumably has a vagina.) When his home, Suthon Island, is assaulted by the foreboding villain Omminus, it’s up to you to use the Wii Remote and Wii Motion Plus to smack, smash, and fling Zip through various stages collecting items and defeating dark minions. FlingSmash introduces you to the varicolored world of Zip, a curious little critter who looks like a cross between a tropical fruit and a tennis ball. ![]()
