Clue: C&H Version
As you can tell by
these screenshots,
the new Calvin
Cluedo has received
a big graphic boost.
You can even tell
who they would be in
the original game.
Who knew Hobbes
would replace
Cornald Mustard
We, unfortunately, don’t
have much new info on the
new Calvin Cluedo, but
Frank was nice enough to
let us have three screens.
Judging by it, we have a
dramatic graphic boost, and
guessing you could play as
one of the six characters.
We’ll have more info in the
later issues.
The amazing platform game is
more than a news section title
now. With an August release,
and 8 levels (3 already done),
we actually get a real look at
the game. Hold on tight.
“Oh great, another bad fan made Calvin and
Hobbes PowerPoint game,” people might say about
Calvin Star, but your mind is only tricking, because
although it may look a little lame, this game should
ROCK OUR SOCKS!!!
If you looked closely at the screen shots last month,
you know there are pretty cool stuff around the
screen. The first one you’ll probably find the most
useful one of all: The Inventory. This place will show
the stuff you currently have in possession. The
objects are all drawn with the drawing tools, and
clicking on them will give more information
(sometimes even clues).
Another one that is just for fun are the life and
special bars, which will usually stay the same
through the entire game.
And the final one is the red button. Why is this one
vital? Because this is what you use to attack the
aliens. When you get close to an alien, right before
you hit him, the red button will show up, and you
about a half a second, if you click it, your safe, and

through the entire game, Calvin
will have fun dialogue and can
rebound well.
I know, he looks like Moe, but
this look alike will be with you
for levels 2-6, helping you on
your quest to get back home.
While in space, you will be

You can’t have a space game
without Spiff. After he

if you don’t, well, it’s pretty much self explanatory.
One thing about the game that’s unique is the level
design, each original design drawn by hand, and
every one of them is unique in it’s own way. There
are three types of levels
Levels 1 and 8: Earth levels
Levels 2, 4, 6, and 7: Space Levels
Levels 3 and 5: Space Station Levels
The game begins with Calvin and Hobbes having a
G.R.O.S.S. (Get Rid Of Slimy girlS) meeting and
trying to get Susie with a water balloon. After
popping the
balloon, Calvin ends up trying to get

into space.
There easy to beat…if
you can click the button fast.
When Calvin Comes to, he meets Aaron, and
agrees if Calvin helps defeat most of the Pelounder
aliens, he’ll send him back home.
So you go through space, defeat things and other
stuff. And then you get sent back home with a
secret surprise waiting.
From June 27th
Stage 1: Calvin's House
You saw Calvin's Kitchen, now time for his whole
house! We start this stage off easy for you, not as
challenging as the other stages. If you remember
level 2 from The Green Bracelets, then you know
his house. Fight Mom and Dad to get out of the
house and move on!
After the first release, there
was talk about Super Calvin
Bros.: Adventure Mode
edition. Now Maryanne
Freeman has come with
screens…and to answer our
interview questions
Stage 2: Strip World
Smack down in your favorite strips while you brawl
against your favorite characters! Take a chance
against all your faves (besides Galaxoid and
Nebular) and a new one, Moe! Be careful, the strips
have a tendency to fall...
Stage 3: Digital Calvin and Hobbes
Fought in Create-A-Strip and wanted more? Well,
explore the strips, search, and even play a game,
while fighting foes! You can fight a few users here.
Stage 4: Prisimoid Galaxy
The Gaia Prism is the thing that controls the entire
universe. Around it is a nebula of platform clusters.
The Battlefield is just one of them, there are many
more! Among the opponents you will fight here will
be Galaxoid and Nebular.
And the interview.
Calvin Gamer (CG): How do you think of it so far?
Maryanne Freeman (MF): It's still shaping up.
CG: How big is the file now?
MF: About 10 slides bigger. I know, I'm slacking!
CG: You said there would a new character, Moe. Do
you have any details on him?
MF: The fact that he has the highest attack in the
game makes up for his worst speed in the game
(besides Susie)! He's the first of four unlockable
characters.
The arrow has been
added, because,
well, you can’t
always attack!
CG: Six more stages? But there's only four in
the game! How are there more?
MF: Some of these are products of my own
imagination rather than your stages! But
what are they? Ah, that's a secret.
CG: Off topic question: Do you want to play
Calvin Star?
MF: Yes! It sounds good, though the space
scenes are a bit too close to levels 4 and 9 of
SCB Adventure Mode...

Murder is
never a nice

anywhere,
but when
your playing
Calvin Cluedo, that’s a
whole different story.
Just as great as the
first, only much
better. So if you ever
get the chance, go
play this game. Go.
Hurry Up!
good thing Andrew
Martin created.
Having Hobbes save
Calvin is a good plot
line. Although it
doesn’t reach far, but
where it does reach, it
does well.
