Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: Lulu sports a yellow bow.Shout-Out: The duck enemies look hella familiar.The Smurfette Principle: Lulu is the only playable raccoon who is female.Tareme Eyes: Bean slightly seems to have these.Non-Standard Character Design: The playable raccoons are anti-aliased and have black outlines.The Hedge of Thorns: The dens of the raccoons are lined up among green thorny vines, and you will lose a life if you land on them if you land on them (or on a taken den).There is even a golden raccoon head which can instantly grant an extra life if collected. Gold Makes Everything Shiny: The eggs that the raccoons snag, and collecting enough of them will give you a 1-Up.The latter can even ride vehicles (bikes and cars). Funny Animal: Aside from the human residents, some of the residents are animals that can stand and walk upright.It features houses and vehicles on fire as a result of said chaos. Fire Means Chaos: "Suburban Breakdown" is set in a version of the "Suburbia Derbia" where escaped convicts have caused a ruckus around the neighborhood (with the police officers attempting to apprehend them).Evil Laugh: Shady lets out one when you start a varied level as him.Everything Trying to Kill You: In true Frogger-esque fashion, you'll get killed by just about everything, ranging from crazed residents (which includes some of the anthromorphic animals), ongoing vehicles, environmental hazards, etc.Four of the raccoons say at least one phrase once you play as them:.Bubblegloop Swamp: The Marshland Madness and Swamp Stank Redemption are the fifth and tenth (the latter is also the final) stages, and generally the most difficult stages among their halves of the game.Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti: One of the obstacles you need to avoid is a sasquatch, they made their first appearance at the Bonus Level of "Backwoods Shenanigans", but they don't act as a threat until "Forest Frolicking".Aerith and Bob: We have natural names (Bean and Lulu), unusual spellings of them (Binki and Ruben), and a completely unusual name (Shady).Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: Bean's fur has shades of dark magenta.When you successfully complete the level by getting into any of the empty dens, the level later differentiates depending on each character you've got when you've completed their variations (Shady, Ruben, Bean and Lulu, respectively). In each level, the process goes as follows: you start off as Binki, and there are various obstacles that try to stop you, and when you touch one, you lose a life and have to start over at the last area you spawned at. Just not inside the game.Varmintz Deluxe is a game released in Maby Skunk Studios, reminiscent to Frogger. But that does not mean, that you can’t save the game when you leave it. When you die in a level, you can start from a Checkpoint, you don’t need to play the entire level a second time. Clocks are cumulative, so you can collect much time for every 6th level. In addition, there is a Clock, which will give you extra time (5 sec) in the next bonus level. And in rare occasions there are Golden Varmintz Heads, which are worth one extra life. Sometimes there are Trash Cans in a level, which are worth 10 Golden Eggz. One is worth 1000 points, and once you have collected 50 of them, you are granted an extra life. On your way to the dens, your mission is to collect Golden Eggz. If a chasm blocks your way, you can jump above clouds to do the same. But you can use tree logs and other things as a raft to cross them. Furthermore you must avoid water, since you can’t swim. The enemies include animals, people, cars, and trains, sometimes they are normal, but sometimes they are crazy, like pigs with revolvers riding on horses. These are Freeze (will freeze all enemies, but also rafts for a few seconds) and Potion (will make you invisible, so the enemies can’t catch you). For this, the two Power-Ups in the game will help you. And since you don’t have a weapon, all you can do is to avoid all the enemies in order to get to your destination. The level is filled with obstacles, and enemies.
Your destination is the very northern part of the level, there are the five dens, where each of them must be filled with a Varmint. When you start a level, you are giving control over your Varmint, at the very southern part of the level. You need to complete one world in order to proceed to the next one. Each world consists of 6 levels, one level per Varmint, and an additional bonus level. The game offers 10 different worlds to play. The five Varmintz are: Binki, Shady, Rubin, Bean, and Lulu. Your mission in this game is to get the five Varmintz, some sort of raccoons, to the safe place inside their dens.
