This quirky Shockwave game resides
in the eCampus.com Phun-Lab. It plays a lot like
a classic "track and field" game except
here your life is at stake!
The game story was intended to be a continuation
of an eCampus.com TV spot that unfortunately
never aired. In the commercial, a college student
is ordering his textbooks online from the eCampus.com
web site when an axe-wielding maniac begins to
chop his way through his dorm room door. The punch line:
eCampus.com is so fast and easy to use that there
was plenty of time for the student to complete
his order and hide before the axe murderer entered
the room.
The game picks up where the commercial left off.
The student, named Bud in the game, now has to
escape from the axe murderer, named Clyde. Bud
lives on the top floor of his dorm building and
the elevator is under repair. To flee the
building, he has to run across each floor
to get to the stairwell on the opposite side.
To move Bud, the player must repeatedly hit the
'left foot' and 'right foot' keys in an alternating
pattern. The faster the buttons are hit, the
faster Bud will run. Many obstacles lie in the
way of a quick escape, so Bud must also jump,
duck, or dive and roll to avoid collisions.
The game features three dorm buildings with 30
total floors. Every few floors, the player is
rewarded with one of nine humorous animated cut-scenes
ala Pac-Man.
