Google's latest doodle is a amazingly jam-packed Olympics RPG
From empty stadiums to (rightfully) fired composers and on the far side, this year's Tokyo Olympics are already something of a calamity. Fortunately, Google's social function homepage scrabble has given a surprisingly fun collection of arcade minigames in its set down.
Appearing happening the Google homepage this week, the Doodle Champion Island Games is an online sports RPG that sees you joining ace of four teams to compete across seven events—archery, artistic swimming, table tennis, marathon, rugby, climbing and skateboarding. Red team, the best team up, is currently taking by a long shot.
Each of these takes the form of a pretty solid little minigame. Artistic swimming is framed as a Dancing Dance Revolution-elan rhythm crippled, while skateboarding (new to the Olympics this year) is a top-down demake of Tony Hawk's Favoring Skater. Apiece comes with its own, anime-inspired opening cinematic, following a feisty pee cat as they become a multidisciplinary sports master.
These sports are all hosted within a fairly dim overworld packed with characters, some of which even consume a few side-quests to all-or-nothing. Unmatched, for example, sees you running off to fetch water so a poor rhinoceros can finish up their construction work and open upward a whole new annex of the map.
Google has experimented with playable doodles in the past, from Bed-vacillation musical rhythm games to competing ghoul duels. Champion Island feels like a whole new unwavering of ambitious, though, and is definitely worth checking out while it's up. It's just a shame the event it's bound into has wrong-side-out into such a mess.
