A Review of the LaMB Game

Forgive me for the LaMB Game review at such a late time. I tried accessing the game several times, but my computer always hangs. May be it’s as stroke of luck that I was able to access the game today. I’m such a freak in solving hidden objects game.


I’ll be providing screen shots of the game (http://www.animax-lamb.com) , so spoiler alert. Don’t worry; every time you access the game (or die in the game) you will be given a new set of items to find.


Scene 1: Bio-research lab

The great thing about this game is that the items listed are related to LaMB directly or indirectly. Most of them are scientific equipment and paraphernalia; so I’d brush up on my vocabulary if I were you. For example do you know what a centrifuge is? A centrifuge is a piece of equipment, generally driven by a motor, that puts an object in rotation around a fixed axis, applying a force perpendicular to the axis. (source: www.wikipedia.org) Don’t ask me how I knew that to begin with. I’m a nerd.

Being excited that I was able to access the game, I hardly read the rules and the instructions. It seems that if you have clicked wrong items consecutively, a bomb will go off. Before that happens, you need to click the bomb defuse icon at your lower right. If you fail to defuse the bomb in time, your health will go down. How did I know that? I lost on my first try. Hahaha.



Scene 2: Shopping District



Here, I learned two things: 1. there are hidden power-ups in the game. You can click on what appears to be a life and sleep icon to gain health. 2. The bombs are harder to defuse. 3. You die if you don’t find every item. The second lesson was officially learned by losing the game twice because of it. This is harder than I thought. And the only problem is that the game goes back to scene 1.


So until I get pass scene 2, you’ll have to take my word for it that this game is hard. I’ll update you once I pass it. May be I can have my friend help me look for the items.


I’m giving this game 4.5 out of 5.

1. Graphics are excellent; though I wish the sidebar panel is not included when you move the cursor or the game can be played full screen.


2. Game play is excellent. The difference between other hidden games is that this game has power-ups, which I think gives the game an advantage. I also like Eve’s comments on the right side every time you click an item, whether it’s on the list or not.


3. Suggestion: a hint button should be included in the game. The hint button will find 1 item and then deduct 30% of one’s health. This could be use when the user is out of time or if he/she doesn’t know how the item looks like.



I checked the Help button and it says more scenes will be added in the following months, so I’ll keep you in touch with that also. ;-)

Are you a Lamb or a Shepherd?

This took longer than I have planned to be. This is a quiz whether to determine your personality as a LamB or a Shepherd. Please have fun. :-) (if you happen to have a hard time reading the images, kindly feel free to zoom or click on the image for your own convenience)






if you happen to end up with:




A- You are a LaMB.


You desire perfection. Although being beautiful is one of the least contributing factors; lacking the confidence to take step to lead is one of the highest contributing factors.


Be careful who you follow. Do not follow blindly and always ask what are the consequences of your actions.



B- You are a Good Shepherd.


You are a very charismatic leader. You only not lead by example, but have the ability to influence others into achieving a goal. You strongly believe in the golden rule: do not do unto others what you don't want to be done unto you.


Because of judging morality in your decisions, you seldom take time into account. Learn how to balance instinctiveness and rationality in order to save time.



C- You are a Bad Shepherd.
You believe that power is the most important thing in becoming a leader. You are able to lead because of negative reinforcements or fear of the consequences by your followers.

You are a strong leader, but be sure to take account your followers' voices. This may lead to mutiny and low morale of your followers if not addressed.
