Summary
We live in a very safety conscious society. And that's a good thing, right? Your Mum probably thinks so, but whether Oxygen Games agrees...well, that's up for grabs.
In the not-too-distant future, crash test dummies (remember the Incredible Crash Test Dummies? We do. This is different) are used a bit more widely than just in the automotive trade. Everything from steamrollers to plimsolls gets put right through the wringer when it comes to safety testing. That means that the dummy plays an invaluable role in society.
CID works for Professor B M Werken, one of the leaders in Crash Impact Dummy manufacturing and a man with a secret. When his former business partner, D-Troit, has away with the Professor's daughter, Mia, one of the Professor's most trusted dummies is needed to sort things out.
What follows is a sidescrolling action platformer, with CID employing an array of combat techniques ranging from unarmed, tooth and nail fighting, to blasting opponents with bazookas that can freeze, hit and burn.
Players will have to do battle with a number of different enemies as they fight to save Mia, including the Dumper, Cursed Dummy and the strange Failed Experiment. It's not all about fighting, though. There are also puzzles to be solved and traps to be avoided.
It's a tough job, but some dummy's got to do it.
