Let’s Play Shadow of the Wool Ball #04: Hogs in Space
One of the wonderful things about this game is that it revels in the silliness of the entire premise and this is no more apparent then in the second chapter which propels the story into outer space. We may have struck a blow against the evil space cats that invaded our world, but we still haven’t located the protagonist’s girlfriend. It’s his hope that she’s somewhere on board the vessel he’s smuggled himself on board of, but we all saw the third episode this game has and know that that won’t be the case.
What will be the case is that we’ll have new mechanics introduced to us as well as new and more dangerous enemies. One of them is a smaller, slower and slightly less dangerous version of the boss battle we just fought, the spider kittens. They’re still a threat that needs to be taken out quickly for even with a reduced rate of fire, their weaponry is devastating when it hits us. There are also new environmental hazards that provide an extra layer of peril in the places we’ll be exploring. What won’t change is the frantic action, the wonderful aesthetic and all the polish that this expansion oozes in spades.
