A fun but overly brutal beat-em-up
Clubby the Seal is a LOT of fun at first. Nothing's more satisfying than mowing down hordes of baddies with a club. The graphics are nice and colorful, with excellent animation and lots of deliciously sickening gore, and the sound effects are lovably goofy.
Unfortunately, for all its entertainment value, Clubby the Seal is simply too damn hard. The enemies are relentless in their singleminded pursuit of destroying you, and since they always attack at least two at a time, you're almost always going to be attacking while simultaneously getting hit. I was initially under the impression that the levels were randomized, which would make it more palatable to play through the same levels over and over again, but it seems more like there are simply two different "level ones" that are cycled through with each play.
I must confess that I haven't really made it that far in this game. Even after over 2 hours of playing, I've only made it to the very beginning of level 3 before dying. Perhaps, later on, the game becomes more varied in its enemy types, combat style, level design, and overall fun; however, at the point I'm at, Clubby the Seal is simply too monotonous and difficult for me to try and get further.
