I’m gonna tell you about this game, Ra Ra Boom. Just got my hands on it, and I gotta say, it’s pretty wild. It’s like the folks at Gylee Games poured all their creativity into one crazy mix. It’s out now for Xbox Series X|S, so maybe give it a whirl if you’re into side-scrollers or just need something to punch — er, play.
So, Ra Ra Boom’s a side-scrolling beat ‘em up — you know, those games where you walk to the right and punch everything in sight. But let’s dive into the real deal: the enemies. They’re like the quirky stars of this whole show — okay, maybe “stars” is overkill, but you get what I mean.
### Meet The Brute
Now, The Brute, what a character! It’s like combining a roller coaster with a monster — genius, or maybe just bonkers, right? The idea was to have lanes in the arenas (like train tracks), which is somehow both brilliant and terrifying. It transforms into a coaster cart mid-fight. Y’know, beast to amusement ride in a snap. Let’s just say, if you’re not paying attention — whoops, you’re gonna get chomped.
### Hello, Martin
Then there’s Martin. Honestly, we almost ditched him — couldn’t figure out how to make a flying enemy not a pain. It was like, “Hey, where is this floating dude exactly?” But slap some holographic legs on him, and suddenly it clicked. Martin became this odd combo of a toddler robot on long legs. Seriously, picture that. We laughed for hours at how goofy it looked.
### Bruce’s Chase
Ah, Bruce. The absolute headache. We had to make a chase scene, but guess what? It was nauseating — like spin-you-around, kind of blegh. Parallax backgrounds are supposed to be cool, right? Well, not when they make you dizzy. After fixing that, it still kind of sucked — too simple. That’s when someone said, “Let’s throw in a nervous robot called Eugene.” Ended up adding more phases to the fight, till we finally got it right.
### Jump In
So why should you care? Well, maybe you wanna find your favorite enemy to smash in the game. Ra Ra Boom’s ready for you. So, go ahead, tell us which of these crazy baddies you liked clobbering the most. Or don’t — nobody’s forcing you.
Anyway, 4-player co-op madness, rogue AI, ninja cheerleaders saving Earth. Yeah, homework can wait, right? There’s pom-poms, explosions, and enough chaos to keep things, uh, exciting. Got some spare time? Give Ra Ra Boom a shot. It’s good for a laugh — and a punch or two.
