The baguettes are soft, croissants are hard, berets are in short supply and Paris is soggier than Seattle. Moreover, the resulting malaise has the French in a funk. Enter The Flying Trapeezees. Set on inspiring France with their amazing aerial skills, the Trapeezee family knows what must be done. They’ve donned their leotards, loaded up their wagon and hit the road in an effort to put an end to the dastardly doldrums.
The cast of characters in this 1887-era aerial troupe includes Monsieur Franccedilois and Madame Amélie Trapeezee, their daughter Celeste, Grandpa Trapeezee and pet monkey, Bobo. Also, the ghost of Jules Léotard, inventor of the leotard and pioneer of the flying trapeze, is on hand, as well. And, lest you think Jules is a fabrication, Léotard did actually exist, and was in fact the originator of the flying trapeze and the creator of the skin-tight, one-piece garment bearing his name. He was also the inspiration for the well-known 19th century song, “The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze.”
The Flying Trapeezees is all about performing aerial acrobatics in an effort to accrue points in exchange for entertainment. As the Trapeezee family makes its way across France, city-by-city, you’re challenged to perform aerial stunts of increasing complexity. Each level begins with your selection of one of the game’s character to be shot from a cannon into the troposphere to perform the required acrobatics before landing on the stage below. Gravity, however, is a very unique law in this diversion. The Trapeezees really don’t fall once shot heavenward. You simply direct their actions at different atmospheric levels, slowing making your way earthward as the performance draws to a close.
For instance, your acrobatics may begin at 300 meters, then descend to 200 meters and finally conclude at 100 before landing on the stage below. Each “metered” zone allows you to perform for one or more rows of viewers by collecting colored gems and executing a special trick. Run out of gems and you’ll need to descend to collect more and continue to inspire. And, that’s the key word in this gem-collecting diversion, “inspire.”
Of course, playing The Flying Trapeezees is not quite as simple as it sounds. Get careless and you may end up with a mix of colored hats in the crowd, and that detracts from total points. How? Gems of different colors frequently appear on screen at once. Since action is often quick paced, it’s easy to grab a gem of a different color unintentionally which can mess up your haberdashery “color-streak.” Remedies for the situation exist, but usually at the cost of your overall score. Not all gems are stationary, either. Some remain in place, but others move around when you try and gather them, shoot through the air or float away on balloons.
