Happy Tree Friends: False Alarm is the latest title by Stainless Games, who have previously been behind the not so good Atari classic 'remakes' on Xbox Live Arcade.

Happy Tree Friends hasn't been getting very good reviews.. but I actually enjoyed it! There are plenty of problems in the game - one being the occasional HTF deciding to go the wrong way where I don't want them to go, but for what it was, it was... fun!

As Lumpy the Moose, you push your cursor around the screen and lay explosives, fire and ice around the environment to allow your friends to get to the end without dying.

Much like the reviews mention - there isn't much of a learning curve. In fact you'll find yourself having a hard time even getting the "Get Bronze" achievement. Usually this requires roughly two characters to finish, but you'll get getting golds very easily. When I played through the game I was able to get all but about 4 of the 30 levels with gold ranks.

Still, it might be easy, but it is pretty fun to lay fire behind a character to make them run faster, or watch them get decapitated with a samurai sword. That's down pat, I think some just expected a bit more out of this than what's given.

I'd definitely suggest checking out the demo at least. The demo has one of the later levels used so give it a couple of tries at getting a good score before leaving it.

Did anyone else pick it up?
