The Fourth Estate Web Team which includes seniors Alex Hawker, Eli Bittleston, and Eddie Conk are proud to present the Official Game of the Fourth Estate Online Newspaper, featuring LBS mascot Swoop, the owl with the scoop.
When the Fourth Estate newspapers are scattered in a maze, you, Swoop, must put your investigative journalism skills to the test to recover the newspapers while simultaneously escaping the Metal Mafia.
Featuring amazing graphics and “epic” game play that keeps one coming back for more, the game also includes power-ups, unlockable extras, and leader boards that let you compare your score with others all over the world.
High-scores eluding you? Always getting trapped by the Metal Mafia? Can’t get enough newspapers?
Get to the next level with tips from the developer and top players:
“My personal strategy is to go around the outside of the level in a circle, going fast enough to escape the Metal Mafia, but not so fast that they circle back and trap me. I always make sure to look out for, and avoid, dead ends. I don’t risk going for a power-up or newspaper if the Metal Mafia are too close – it’s better to be safe than s
orry,” said game developer senior Alex Hawker.
Online coeditor-senior Eli Bittleston said, “When I get up to the higher levels, as I’m drifting down to the next maze, I look over the upcoming map and look for traps and routes and see what path I should take. I also avoid the red power-up at all costs.”
Online coeditor-senior Eddie Conk said, “I usually try to beat each level as fast as possible, because otherwise I usually get cornered.”
