In a land where names are derivative, our adventurer Tic stands out amongst the crowd. In a scramble to save the robot town of Copperville, Tic must take down the evil corporation called…well, EvilCorp! The robots are suffering from a terrible drought of — you guessed it, OIL! Tic must jump, glide and drill his way through Pinehill Meadow in order to stop EvilCorp from sucking up all of the oil. What Tic discovers there is an ancient race called the Molepeople who promise to reveal secrets if you collect and return their greatest resource: acorns.
If the story’s not enough to drive you nuts – see what I did there – then perhaps its impressive visuals and fresh outlook on platforming will redeem the hardwork that Red Candy Games put into their first Xbox Live Indie Game title. Your main character, Tic, is an impressive machine with the ability to soar to great heights and dig deep for treasure. You control him with the use of 2 basic controls: glide and move. You will need to master the techniques of both controls in order to find the silver acorns that are scattered throughout the levels. Silver acorns need to be collected in order to open new sections of the map and lead you to rare golden acorns.
