The Games

With "Kakerlympics" you have to master different olympic disciplines within a set time. So, e.g. you have to jump over Pizza and Cheese chunks, running for the gold medal, or lit up Pizza pieces and find mathcing pairs of cockroaches below them. The fun really starts when you try to protect a cake from approaching roaches by "stomping on them".
The game "Kakerlympics" can be played by up to 8 players simultanously.

Also free, you get a dance game in the style of DanceDanceRevolution where you have to dance to a given foot-position pattern. The more accurate you hit the pads, the highrer you score. Even loosing is fun here, epecially when stepping with a buddy.
The quality of both games offer never ending fun, thanks to the amazing music and professinal 3D graphics. Be it cockroaches in the kitchen or dancing in the disco, with all that moving and jumping you won't stay dry and the pounds drop rapidly. It's also unimportant if you play on Windows(C)(R) or Linux. Both games run without problems, there.
