Ever played a game from the developer "Zoink Games" if not I don't know what your waiting for make this be your first. Actually go back, and play "Stick it to the Man" or "Zombie Vikings" which ever option you choose you won't be disappointed. There is just something special about all of their titles, and I have found myself falling in love with their work over and over again. I don't know if it is the hilarious voice acting and writing, The off the wall storytelling, or the really original look and feel to their games that make you know your playing a Zoink game as soon as it starts. My feeling it is probably all of the above. Flipping Death is no different. I was in love with this game five minutes in, and didn't want to take a break from it to start the review. We however know with getting these games come the responsibility of letting people know what we felt about it, even if it means sitting the controller down a few minutes to type something out about it. So lets get this done so I can get back to playing Flipping Death.

Flipping death is about a girl named Penny who is recently deceased and approached by the Grim reaper. He wants to go on a vacation, and wants to leave her in charge until he returns. I know hilarious idea already, but it only gets better as Penny has to help people by crossing in and out of the spirit, and living world.. She goes in and out using people from both to complete objectives for characters in both worlds. Like every Zoik game the characters are just crazy and funny as hell. The dialogue will have you in stitches from start to finish. The puzzles are fairly simple, so you will solve most just with trial and error, so your enjoyment won't dwindled any by difficult gameplay. You will be able to enjoy all the wonderful writing, and laughs.

The game looks like a typical Zoink game. Really nice looking level design that has a retro look to it while still having a special dark look and feel to it. If you never played a Zoink game I would say it has a Castle Crashers feeling to it, another game I hold a really special spot in my heart for. Zoink games deliver that same type of quality in my opinion. It is easy to decipher the living world from the spirit world, and the characters from both making it really easy to follow and enjoy.

Should you get "Flipping Death"? usually I put something here like if your a fan of so and so, but this one if your a fan of gaming period I think you should grab this one. The positives for this game far outweigh the negatives, and this game really shines above any categories I could try to put it in. Do yourself a favor, and just grab it.

Pros: Some of the best writing, and voice acting you'll find

Wonderful looking art, and level design.

Loaded with laughs and personality

Simple puzzles, and enjoyable gameplay

Cons: It has to end,6 or 7 hours just not enough for me and this game.

Overall: 9.0 Flipping Death is another unforettable title by those guys at Zoink games. Penny's adventure is one you'll laugh through from start to finish.When it is all said and done it will have made a spot in your heart, and a gaming memory you'll hold dear always.
