This week there was a new free-to-play flash game released by Rovio Mobile called Totomi. Totomi is available freely online and will be available for purchase as an iPhone game in the coming weeks. Totomi could be the most addictive flash game ever! Totomi’s graphics are of excellent quality and the upcoming Totomi iPhone game will offer even more! The basic idea of the game is to build as many totems as high as possible and as fast as possible. To build totems in Totomi you must pile animals from assembly lines into three game slots and the object is to get as many points as possible before time runs out by building these totems. To grow the Totomi totems you must match animals together and the higher totems you build the more time you will be given. Totomi’s totem building system is based on the animals’ relationships to each other and to different kinds of plants- e.g.: If the animals mate, if they’re friendly or whether one animal eats the other animal. The game is totally violence free and suitable for all ages.
An example of how to build totems is if you place a zebra on top of another zebra in one of the slots this means there has been breeding, which allows your “totomi” to grow. Another way to make your totem grow is through eating. An example of this is if the assembly line gives you a leaf you can feed the leaf to all plant eating animals like zebras, mice, beavers, elephants, foxes, hippos and bears and, once consumed, your “totomi” grows. Also in the game beavers can eat wood and fish. Birds can eat mice and fish. Lions can eat birds, mice, zebras and beavers. Foxes can eat mice, birds and beavers. Cats eat birds, fish and mice. Bears eat fish; crocodiles eat fish, birds, zebras, lions, cats, foxes and beavers.
Totems in Totomi are also built by making friend totems. These totems consist of animals that get along in the wild. For example birds, zebras, elephants and hippos can all be together in a friendly Totomi totem.
If you have a large animal (elephant, hippo or bear) that doesn’t fit into any of your totems being built it will cause the animals in the totems to get angry or scarred and when the larger animal is dropped the animals below it in the totem get scared and get pushed away.
If your time is running out you can cash in your Totomi totem by placing a non-matching animal on top of the totem you have built, for example by placing a bird on top of a totem made up of zebras.
Totomi is one of the most addictive flash games I’ve ever played. It may be hard to understand the first time you play, but if you play it twice you’re hooked as you figure out the relationships between all the animals. Totomi is a game, which can be played by anyone of any age: I know a nine year old and a fifty year old who both play it and who absolutely love it!
If you’re interested in playing Totomi visit the Totomi home page and help to make this the most popular flash game on the net, and if you love it the iPhone game will blow your socks off with enhanced graphic, a story mode and plenty more about the world of Totomi.
