Sometimes one finds a pearl in the ocean of pettiness called “Internet” and one of them accompanies me and a friend since almost two semesters through the, let me call it “less interesting” lectures.

I’m talking about “Achtung, die Kurve”, and exactly this game does now move to it’s next phase. What was played in hotseat-mode up to now has grown into a real online-multiplayer game in this new version. Though the game principle remains untouched. The goal is to survive the longest with a snake-like peg, a point which draws a line behind itself, while trying to constrain your opponents.

What sounds generally easy is going to become much more funny with the implemented powerups and powerdowns. To stay away from the own line, the opponents or the wall can turn into a true challenge when facing up to 6  players (even 8 with premium account). So far the game is in beta phase, which does not derogate the fun this game provides. Only the fact that the game is not interrupted after every single one of your opponents leave turned out to be a bit annoying, since the only thing you can do in this situation seems to leave for yourself or to stay until the very end to fight a soulless line, waiting for it to crush against a wall. But as i said the game is still in beta-phase so no real complains here. The developers surely have much more important feature to look into for now.

All there is left for me to do is to recommend visiting www.achtungdiekurve.net and take a look for yourself. Definitely an amazing pastime and not only while in university!
