Bruno's Backwoods Breakaway is an action game of Neopets, allowing the user to control Bruno, who escaped Neovia (as detailed in the The Tale of Woe). It was released on November 17, 2006.
How to play
After escaping deep into the Haunted Woods, Bruno begin to collect potions and bring them back to his cave while dodging the townspeople of Neovia. Bruno can be moved left of right by the accompaning arrow keys, and jumps with the spacebar. Bruno collects potions by walking over them, and can deposit them (one at a time or all at once) at his cave by pressing the spacebar while standing near it. Pressing the "P" button on the keyboard will also pause the game.
Each level is built so that it repeats itself into every direction, giving the user the possibility to run through it until the level is conquered or the user has lost all their lives. Some levels also contain walls which can be jumped through by stepping into the bricks and jumping or stepping into the desired direction.
Assorted cursed villagers wander the levels, some walking back and forth across ledges while others will jump and fall off ledges. Should Bruno come close to them, they will throw a rock in his direction, which will knock Bruno unconscious, and the user loses a life and starts the level over. The user has a total of three lives, and gameplay end when the user loses all three lives or completes the game.
Points are gained by potions being dropped off at the cave, with a bonus given for more potions dropped off all at once. Due to the fixed amount of potions in the 12 levels of the game, the maximum score the user can achieve is 5180. Because of this, the high score table is flooded with users who have achieved the highest score, making each day's trophy winners random.
