The game UGH! is about a cave man with some technology.... a foot powered flying machine. In each level there are cave men & women that want to get to another 'platform'. So you fly and land your flying machine on the 'platform' that they're on then they tell you what 'platform number' they want to go, you take off advoiding the obstacles and land them safely then pick up another person etc.
thus completing level after level until you reach the last level.

This game is very fun (once you get the hang of it) and VERY ADDICTIVE! If UGH! isn't appeling to you, download it! You'll thank me later!

If you're looking for a classic, addictive game that you can play to pass the time, 'UGH!' is the game for you. If you’re looking for a game that will keep you entertained for hours, then replayed over and over again and still provides a challenge for you, 'UGH!' is the game for you! Whether you’re just bored and looking to pass a few minutes, or want to play for an extended period of time, ‘UGH!’ provides a very fun and incredibly addicting game. While the game is not classed as a puzzle game, is does provide a small element of puzzle solving.

The game is based on the idea that a caveman invents a flying machine so he can fly from one level to another, so other people can travel from their cave to another. It is your job to navigate the flying machine around various obstacles and enemies to pick up and drop off the passengers at their desired destination within an allotted time limit. Although it may not sound difficult, as the game progresses the levels can become quite frustrating, but is still a very relaxing game overall.

The controls are the up, down, left and right arrows to move the craft in their respective direction. And in some levels there are boulders that can be picked up and dropped on trees using the right control key to gain extra time. The boulders can also be dropped to temporarily stop the enemies, which can make it incredibly difficult to pick up your passengers at times.

The graphics are really quite good, although the in-game characters are quite small. The environment looks very good as well. The game does, however, lack audio appeal. The game also uses a level password system, which is great as it allows you to return to your current level, or replay your favourites later.

GAMEPLAY: 9/10
A very simple, yet entertaining game. Excellent for relaxing after school or work, but still gives players a challenge. Everyone that I’ve seen play it quickly becomes addicted.

GRAPHICS: 8/10
The graphics are very good. The backgrounds look great. The ‘enemy’ dinosaurs also show the graphics quite well, and although the in-game characters are quite small, they don’t ruin the score in any way. The title screen also shows how good the graphics are for a game made in 1992.

CONTROLS: 10/10
Very easy to use and master. Arrow keys for up, down, left and right and the control key to drop boulders. Although simple, they suit perfectly and I can not fault them as I love the game and its simplicity

CHALLENGE: 9/10
Starts easy enough for anyone, but in the later levels still gives a very good challenge. I still haven’t beaten two levels.

OVERALL: 9/10
Although many people may question this score, I believe it is deserved. ‘UGH!’ offers a good challenge to older players, but can still be played by younger gamers. As simple as the concept is, it works well and is an excellent game. Highly recommended!
