Washington's Wig (XBLIG, 2012)

Washington's Wig
Developed by Team2Bit
Released for XBLIG (6/2012)
Also on iOS


Washington's Wig is a 2D runner game with pixel graphics where you play as a dog who is trying to retrieve George Washington's wig. As the dog you're trying to gain enough speed so you can hop on the boat with him, but unfortunately you're on ice plus there are holes and dogs obstructing your path. The screen auto-scrolls right and you must time your jump button presses appropriately. More obstacles are introduced the farther along you get. Your dog is equipped with a double jump and you also have a slide if you need to slow everything down. Occasionally an eagle will fly overhead who will carry you a little way through the stage. At the main menu you can select from arcade game, endless run, time trial and two-player versus race. These modes are pretty self-explanatory and if you enjoy the gameplay they will add some replay value. Washington's Wig retailed on XBLIG for a mere 80 MSP ($1) and was a solid investment if you're into these runner games.

Final Verdict: Fans of simple runner titles will like Washington's Wig. The game has a goofiness about it that's hard not to enjoy.
