We’ve Got Everything From Swoop To Nuts
My company puts out a promotional piece every year, and this year we went for a quick arcade style game where you control a flying squirrel on his quest to grab acorns (and stars, if you can) and to see just how far you can fly. It’s fun, it’s addictive, it’s Fusionary Media’s “Swoop To Nuts”. Odds are you’ve never played a game involving a flying squirrel, but what do I know. Go check it out. Have fun.
The name of the game is obviously (at least, I thought so…) a play on the phrase “soup to nuts“. What I was surprised by is that so many people had never heard this phrase before. I think the name of the game stands on its own pretty well, but has that extra “tongue-in-cheek wink-wink ha-ha that’s clever” quality if you’ve heard the phrase before.
Note to the “gamers”: We have tested this game extensively, and it is possible to get a six-figure score. Put World of Warcraft aside for a bit and have some arcade-like fun.
Where the hell is the start button?

It’s the REALLY big button that says “Play Game!” on it. I know your connection can’t be THAT slow, man! The loading bar turns into the start button. I knew we should have put stars on that button when it switched to saying “Play Game!”. Ah, well.
