SoAction Henkmissed its initial goal of hittingSteam Early Access on June 18, but only by a bit. The action figure racing game is now availablethere, as well as through theHumble Store.
I have been fortunate enough to spend a little bit of time withAction Henk, and so far it has been really fun. Henk and company run alongHot Wheels-like tracks andJenga-esque towers, but the real skill comes with the butt slide, which can be used on downhill sections to pick up speed. It almost plays likeTrials, in that the best times result from landing jumps smoothly.
The whole idea is commendable on its own, because it elicits feelings of being a kid, combining different toy sets to create unlikely scenarios that make perfect sense to a child’s brain. Also, sometimes the floor is lava and that’s awesome.
