'Liferaft: Zero' Game Is Gruesome, But Skips the Boats and Ocean

'Liferaft: Zero' is latest time waster.
For a long time now, the Internet has been the best place for gamers to get their 2-D platforming fix. The latest suck on our time is a game called 'Liferaft: Zero,' a game that gives you control of an infinite army of small, blond female clones, which you must guide through a lab filled with deadly spikes. To advance, you ring the bell that's strategically placed in each level. While the controls are simple -- moving with the arrow keys, and jumping with the 'S,' 'Z' or 'X' keys -- they're unfortunately not very intuitive. Be prepared to fall to a bloody death over and over again as you try to wall jump, and use grappling hooks. Despite the inexact controls, we found ourselves addicted to 'Liferaft: Zero' for some reason. It's a love/hate relationship; we love to hate the lack of control in a game that's based on precision jumping and swinging.
