Poor Bunny

What happens in play

You guide a bunny across platforms and collect carrots while avoiding arrows, circular saws and spiked balls. A golden carrot is worth three ordinary ones, but it stays on screen only for a few seconds, so reaching it is a quick decision.

Poki lists three modes: solo, co-op and duel. One player uses the arrow keys; in two-player modes the second player uses W A S D while the first keeps the arrows. On phones and tablets the game uses on-screen buttons. Poki also mentions four worlds and more than 100 skins.

“Look at what is moving before you jump; saws and spiked balls punish a blind leap.”

Tips for the first runs

• 

  Look at what is moving before you jump; saws and spiked balls punish a blind leap.

• 

  Go for a golden carrot only when the route to it is clear, since it disappears after a few seconds.

• 

  In two-player modes agree who takes which side of the keyboard before starting.

• 

  Try solo first to learn the traps, then switch to co-op or duel.

The kind of player it fits

Players who want a simple platformer, alone or with a second person at the same keyboard.

Where it can frustrate

• Poki does not state an age suitability for it.
• Poki is an ad-supported platform, so expect advertising around the game on poki.com.
• Sharing one keyboard in two-player modes is cramped.

Other cells to look at after this one

• Slime LaboratoryAnother platformer where hazards sit between you and the goal.
• 11-11A slower choice if you want to play without any timing.
