Combine Combat

An early flash game that I worked on was a packman-style one called Fusion Frenzy. Created for Hoover it featured a vacuum as its hero with dust bunnies as the ghosts. I scripted the game while a co-worker worked on the screen design, and it was a huge hit for them.

Successful Farming Online wanted a unique way to help their advertising client, John Deere, promote new features on their latest combine. They saw Fusion Frenzy and ordered a game similar to it with a hero combine and a pesky neighbor to compete with. When this game was live it was the most heavily trafficked page on their site.

In the life of this game, there were two online versions, a trade show kiosk version, and a hay bailer spinoff in both online and trade show versions. I scripted all of them as well as completed the interface work on the later versions.



Here’s a look at the Hay Tool Hayday as well as their older sibling, Hoover Fusion Frenzy.
