Lockehorn^[1] is a Nitrome game released on Thursday December 15th. On December 9th 2011, Nitrome revealed a screenshot of a game that they said would be released between December 11 and 17th. This game puts the player in control of an Elk called Lockehorn, who has to push a Slab of Ice into an Alter to melt it and free the Elk.

The game received an update on January 19th 2012. This update contains Battle Mode, a feature that allows two players to fight against each other (similar to Test Subject Arena), as well as a new "Easy Mode", a feature that gives the player 3 lives, instead of just 1, and bug fixes. It introduced a new color of an elk.

GameplayEdit

Story ModeEdit

In each level of Lockehorn, the player, using their slab of ice, has to kill every Snow Spirit by crushing them against walls, or pushing them off edges (if there are any). The player will freeze if they touch an enemy, fall off the stage, or are hit by a hazard. They can also be crushed by there own slab of ice if not careful. The player will also lose the level if the slab of Ice falls off the stage.

Throughout the game, hazards and different snow spirits are encountered. When all enemies are killed, the Alter will open up, and the player has to place the slab of Ice on the Alter, which will melt it. When the creature is successfully brought out of the ice, the level is cleared. 1/5 of the levels have two Ice slabs, and the player having to melt each one to complete the level.

Due to the intense difficulty of Lockehorn level 15-20, Nitrome included an "Easy Mode" with the Lockehorn Update on January19th 2012. What Easy Mode will tone down has not been revealed yet.

DifficultyEdit

Lockehorn V 2.0 introduced two difficulties of play: Normal Mode, and Easy Mode.

Normal ModeEdit

Normal Mode is the basic and only mode in Lockehorn V 1.0, while it is the harder of the two modes in Lockehorn 2.0.

Easy ModeEdit

Easy Mode is a toned down version of Normal Mode. The player can select Easy Mode for every level, and alternate between Easy Mode and Normal Mode if they choose. Easy Mode gives the player three hearts, so if they are hit by a hazard and frozen, they will break out of it, but this will cost one heart. The player has more strength ans is more agile, and can push the Ice Slab faster. Enemies and hazards move slower, and if the player loses the Ice slab it will respawn and not cost the player a heart.

Multiplayer ModeEdit

Multiplayer Mode is a mode that is only playable with two players, each person using the same computer. Player 1 controls Lockehorn, while Player 2 controls a Blue Elk. The objective is to gain the most points. Pots can be smashed to yield Coins; which can be used for points. Vegetables will fall from the sky, for players pick up Powerups. A picked up Food item will increase how fast the player moves (ability) and how fast they can push the Ice Slab (strength)

How much increased pushing power the player has is determined by the Powerup bar. Orange pads are placed around the level that allow the player to gain points by placing the Ice Slab on. The objective is to prove that the player is the true leader of the elk.

AnnouncementsEdit

December 9th, 2011Edit

Nitrome previewed an image of this game on December 9th 2011, as well as saying this game would be released next week (between December 11th and 17th)

January 13th 2012Edit

Nitrome announced a multiplayer mode for Lockehorn, to be available in the Lockehorn game. An image was also previewed.

GalleryEdit

Problems with V 1.0 ReleaseEdit

• Strangely, a page for a Nitrome game titled "Lockehorn" was discovered on Nitrome's site a day before its release, during a server problem on Nitrome.com.
• When the game was released, it could only be seen from the front page that it had been released. Clicking the animated image took the player to the Lockehorn page, but since it didn't exist, it lead the player back to the from page of Nitrome.com, where the animated image was.

TriviaEdit

• The music is influenced by Aztec culture.^[2]
• Lockehorn makes known its version, version 1.1, as seen in the title located below the letter N. This is odd, as the name of the version is not usually shown in Nitrome games, only games which were updated.
• The ice slab can only crush a maximum of five enemies at once.
• The font used in the credits is the same font used in Onekey, this can be noticed by looking at letter N of the font. This is unusual, as Nitrome usually uses new fonts when making a new game.
• If the player wins in Battle Mode, still collecting Points, the winner will dance, but it is still possible for the loser to go and kill the opponent.
• Before this game, the logo for main games wasn't transparent. In this game, it is.
• As with many other Nitrome games, the previewed image was one of the first levels. In Lockehorn, the image was taken from the first level.
• When Lockehorn falls into a hole, the smoke from Toxic with a skull figure that comes from the acid will appear from the hole as Lockehorn's spirit, but with a white color instead of green.
