The Honda Green Machine

I found this website by chance and basically it’s an informative website made by Honda about their “Green Machines.” The website itself is in Japanese but you don’t really need to know the language in order to navigate it, at least the mini game you get at the beginning. When you play the game you get a choice of different characters that include a snowman and a dog. Once you choose a character (you are free to change it if you like) you use the arrow keys to move left, right, and jump. Along the way you encounter little star-like objects that, when hit, shows you an image that concerns their automobiles or characters from the Peanut gang. 

I actually liked this site even though I can’t read a word of it, and I sort of enjoyed the game even though it could have used a lot more features and more probably be a bit more challenging. The course in the game is green and I thought that it was very nicely done, but it’s still very plain. Hope some of you guys can read it.

  1. I can’t read Japanese either but I thought it would be interesting to take a look at this site since there is a game that you can play. My character was a sun. The page for the game is indeed very simple and plain but I found it quite cute. There are even sound effects through-out the site. such as when you click on a link or when you are playing the game. The sound effects sound very cute too. The part I didn’t like about the site was that I couldn’t get over a hill in the middle of the game! But that’s really my problem. Other than that the site did a really good job in letting us know about Honda’s Green Machines.

  2. I loved it! But I also couldn’t read a word of it. I like how they use very simple shapes for the game. It looks clean and simple. The animation is also very simple, but fun. I went through the entire game and collected about 80 “star-like” objects. I used every character because they all had different strengths and weaknesses. The sun can jump high, the horse can go up hills, etc. I had fun…thanks!
