Race across town to rendezvous with your affection in The Chase: Felix Meets Felicity, a fast paced journey to love.
The Chase: Felix Meets Felicity is a fast-paced 2D platforming game for the Nintendo DS in which players navigate their way through bizarre obstructions, interruptions and mishaps, using the touchscreen and stylus to draw their own platforms to change the levels horizontally or vertically. Join in the fun by jumping in the shoes of Felix or Felicity to race across town just in time to rendezvous.
Run, Felix Run
This fun, little game immediately captured my heart at Atari's gamers' day event back in November 2008. Once I picked up the basic controls I didn't want to put the game back down. In The Chase, you choose to play as either Felix, who is fast but can't jump very high, or Felicity, who is slow but can jump much higher. I recommend you play as the slower Felicity at first because the game is pretty fast. Actually, the characters in the game never stop running. The speed is not something you control. What you do control is the direction in which Felix and Felicity run - left or right.
To avoid obstructions and collect goodies, as mentioned above, you can jump or use the stylus to draw your own rainbow path the characters run on. To take out patrolling baddies, press down on the directional pad to slide. The controls are really simple, but getting used to the constant running takes some getting used to.
Surfer Dude and Dudette
Storm surfing is a cool feature in The Chase that's really for experts only looking to maximize their points. Each level has a storm that moves from left to right (or floods top to bottom) and will eventually consume the entire map. You will lose if the storm catches up to you. However, if you teeter on the edge of the storm the amount of points you get are greatly increased.
The Chase: Felix Meets Felicity is the perfect gift to pick up for a girlfriend or boyfriend on Valentine's Day, sit together and draw a path to the object of your affection.
