Tacopocalypse

What do you get out from the love of tacos and skating? Tacopocalypse, of course. The world is facing its final moments of existence, the Apocalypse is here, but that doesn’t mean that your tacos won’t be delivered. A minimum wage job doesn’t guarantee days off during the Apocalypse.

In the demo you get a taste of how Tacopocalypse looks and handles. Mind that this is a Pre-Alpha demo so there are some things to work out and some polishing left to do. Nonetheless, it’s a very fun thing to play, and not just because you deliver tacos during the Apocalypse.

Tacopocalypse is about delivering tacos with style because the city is your playground and you’re the Tony Hawk of taco delivery guys. Race through the streets and on roof tops, perform sick tricks and awesome combos. Charge up your pepper powered booster and see that you get to all the customers on time, before yours and everyone's is up.

I downloaded Tacopocalypse without reading any description or anything related to it. The title had me convinced. Needless to say, it was almost exactly what I thought it would be, minus the tricks part. Seeing the peppers reward for an accidental flip opened the path to a very enjoyable part of my day.

Tacopocalypse is so out there that it instantly glues the controller to your hands. Your first part of the experience will be about exploring and seeing how things work. Apparently having a magic-pepper powered taco delivering stunt car takes a while to get used to. After that, you start noticing the huge ramps and rails, and with them, the possibilities.

Or it will be pretty soon, as Tacopocalypse is currently on Kickstarter. I see no reason for why this game shouldn’t go through a successful campaign. Play the demo and you’ll surely agree. Until then, apart from some game crashes, I can only mind the fact that they don’t make tacos where I live.
