Garden Gnome Carnage

2009-11-15T00:41:50Z

Rinkuhero:

'''Garden Gnome Carnage''' is a defense game written by [[Daniel Remar]]. Because the elves are extremely annoying, you have tethered yourself to a top of a mobile skyscraper to prevent the elves from dropping presents down the chimney.

The game has three controls:
* Left and right arrows move left and right.
* Space collects or throws a brick.
* Shift calls one of three airstrikes.

The gnome will automatically move up and down, and will be pulled by the bungee rope to the center of the skyscraper. The gnome will knock down any elf it contacts, as well as sleighs and the friendly cat.

I can upload the PDF of the walkthrough by Alan Chen that is very hard to find on the net because the website is down. It is roughly 500 kB. The system only seems to allow image uploads. [[User:Boder|Boder]] 09:27, 14 January 2008 (GMT)

:Hi Boder, go right ahead :) It looks likes like most file uploads are disabled by default on MediaWiki, but I think I've fixed that now. If you still have problems, let me know! [[User:Terry|Terry]] 11:42, 14 January 2008 (GMT)

This should serve as sufficient aid for Sexy Hiking players.

:Huh? The video doesn't work. And what is "Sexy Hiking"? A game? [[User:Rinkuhero|Rinkuhero]] 06:13, 23 October 2008 (IST)

::It's [[Sexy_Hiking|this game]] (which did a lot to inspire the B-Games contest at TIGSource)! I think the video's probably been removed because of the song used in it - hopefully another one will show up to replace it soon... [[User:Terry|Terry]] 22:31, 23 October 2008 (IST)
