Game Review (written by Nathpooks) Added on: 10/23/2006
Title: Push-Over (Colin loses his Quavers)
Publisher: Red Rat & Ocean
Year: 1992
One of the greatest games of all time, Push-over is essential for puzzle buffs young or old. This quirky little domino rally game is a must for man women or animal. Very easy controls simple up, down, left or right and fire (or push in this case).
As a child of twelve I loved this game now that I’ve rediscovered it at 26 the appeal is still there what a timeless classic, though the graphics are obviously dated the game-play isn’t lost.

You play as an ant that is retrieving Collins Quavers after he drops them down an ant’s whole.
You work your way through platform based levels such as Aztec, space or forest etc, creating a domino toppling reaction, making the trigger domino last to fall. You can do this by moving and using different types of dominos, these are:
The Standard Domino – this one is fairly straight forward. It falls over when hit.
The Stopper – this is a red domino that deflects dominos or stops a chain.
The splitter – this domino splits into two usually when hit from above.
Exploder – makes wholes in floors.
Delay – does exactly what it says on the tin.
Tumbler – he kind of rolls until he’s stopped by another domino.
Bridger – makes a bridge

over gaps (sometimes caused by exploder).
Vanish – a domino that vanishes.
Trigger – the object of every level is for this domino to fall last this is what open the door to the next level.
Ascender – this one fly’s straight up when hit until it hits the underside of a platform then it tumbles.
The only annoying thing about this game is you are against the clock. There’s not a lot of time for thinking, this annoyance is solved buy allowing you to buy the next level if you don’t complete it in time, using tokens you receive by completing levels.
I found myself retrying levels over and over, trying to beat the clock, so that I didn’t spend my tokens.
Although the being timed thing, is strictly a personal opinion, a lot of you out there enjoy a race against the clock, so for you this is a perfect game and you will enjoy it to the full. I really like this game so ill give it 8/10 (if you weren’t timed it would be higher)
Summary:
This game is a great asset to the puzzle genre. Great characters and animation for its time. Mind bending puzzles, that will have you dumbstruck. Simple yet effective controls.
