Save The Gingerbread Man puts you in charge of a sweet little hero who needs protecting from a wave of opponents. The goal is straightforward: shoot the enemies, feed them their just desserts, and keep the gingerbread man alive. Three distinct weapons give the action its shape, and collecting bonuses along the way lets the hero grow stronger over time.
Move the gingerbread man with the joystick, steering clear of opponents while picking up bonuses scattered across each level. Leveling up makes the hero stronger and eventually capable of defeating enemies directly. The three weapons each behave differently, so knowing what each one does matters.
If the collect-and-evolve loop in Save The Gingerbread Man appeals to you, Dogs vs Aliens delivers a similar sense of leveling up and growing stronger while rescuing characters from waves of enemies.
