{{italic title}} {{Infobox game |name = Happy Tree Friends: Blood Money |image = [[File:BloodMoneyTitleScreen.PNG|200px]] |description = Title screen. |date = 2007 |developer = Twistbox Games Ltd. & Co.KG. |publisher = Twistbox Games Ltd. & Co.KG. |platform = J2ME |genre = Action }} '''''Happy Tree Friends: Blood Money''''' was a ''[[Happy Tree Friends (franchise)|Happy Tree Friends]]'' Java mobile game developed by Twistbox Games under license by Mobile Streams.<ref>''Happy Tree Friends: Blood Money'' Credits menu.</ref> The game is playable in either English, German, Spanish, French, or Italian. The game revolves around [[Lifty & Shifty|Shifty & Lifty]] making money by using blood to use for a blood bank. They do this by torturing the Friends and use their bloodshed for money. The gameplay is similar to the arcade game ''[[Wikipedia:Breakout (video game)|Breakout]]'' and has four difficulties: Easy, Medium, Hard, or Bloody. == Gameplay == The player controls Shifty and Lifty carrying a trampoline by using the '4' key or the left joystick to move them to the left or the '6' key or the right joystick to move them to the right. One of the Happy Tree Friends, [[Cuddles]], [[Giggles]], or [[Petunia]] (in any order), will jump on the trampoline, which launches them into the air. A set of hazards appear in mid-air to inflict damage to the Happy Tree Friend, allowing Lifty and Shifty to collect the blood dripping from the bodies as score, which is done by having the blood drops fall into the buckets on their backs. Touching hazards removes them from the playfield. Specific hazards can only disappear by hitting them from a particular direction, like the nail board that requires hitting it from above. The launched Happy Tree Friends can pick up [[Health box|health boxes]], which periodically spawn whenever they have taken enough damage, to fix their injuries. A new set of hazards will appear if all the currently on-screen hazards are gone. If the Happy Tree Friend hits the ground, they will no longer be usable, and another one will take the turn until all three are dead, which ends the game. The mini-map on the lower-left corner of the screen can track Shifty and Lifty's and the current Happy Tree Friend's positions. The game's four difficulties Easy, Medium, Hard, or Bloody, change up the level design layout to match the difficulty. In the Bloody difficulty, the '5' key or the fire button gains a function to catapult the Happy Tree Friend higher (required to hit hazards near the top) since they are bounced less high than in the other difficulties. == Characters == {| class="wikitable" |+ Characters |- !

Its most common issues are related to its simplistic gameplay and lack of variety. HandyPlayer<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20081225002213/http://www.handy-player.de/happy-tree-friends-blood-money-test.html ''Happy Tree Friends: Blood Money'' - HandyPlayer]</ref> gave the game a 30% rating (94% rating from readers). While the game's graphics (5/10) and sounds (4/10) were considered the best aspects, the gameplay was considered poor (2/10). The game had criticism for being essentially a quick money-making scheme due to how simplistic the gameplay is and how lacking the variety is. In other words, ''Blood Money'' was considered as a promising concept of a game where players can butcher cutesy cartoon animals, but butchered by bland execution. Pocket Gamer<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20081225003816/http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/Mobile/Happy+Tree+Friends%3A+Blood+Money/review.asp?c=5265&srch=happy Happy Tree Friends: Blood Money - Beware sharp objects by Kath Brice - Pocket Gamer]</ref> rated ''Blood Money'' a 5/10, stating that while the idea was considered attractive, there is not enough gameplay depth to make the game more than briefly entertaining. Play 2 Go<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20081225004952/http://www.play2go.de/reviews_1107.html Test: Happy Tree Friends: Blood Money - Blurtrünstiger Einzeller by Patrick Drexler - Play 2 Go]</ref> gave the game a 65% rating, stating the game as "conceptless" due to the show the game adapts on having too little substance to work as a game when compared to other adult cartoons at the time like ''[[Wikipedia:South Park|South Park]]'' and ''[[wikisimpsons:The Simpsons|The Simpsons]]''. Like Pocket Gamer's review, the game also had criticism for lacking depth in gameplay. Airgamer's review<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090505233209/http://www.airgamer.de/handyspiele/test/zeige/happy-tree-friends-blood-money.html ''Happy Tree Friends: Blood Money'' - Airgamer]</ref> was more positive at 76% rating, calling ''Blood Money'' a fun ''[[Wikipedia:Breakout (video game)|Breakout]]'' clone. The game had some praise for its graphics and in-game unlockables, as well as satisfying sounds and controls. The graphics also got praise for managing to pull off the ''Happy Tree Friends'' show's look in smaller resolution. The review's only issues with the game were its lack of gameplay variety as the game only has one gameplay mode and the game's problems with object collisions. == Gallery == <gallery> BloodMoneyIcon.png|Game icon. BloodMoneyTitle.png|Logo. </gallery> == Audio samples == {{media table |file1=BloodMoneyBg.mp3 |title1="bg" |file2=BloodMoneyTi.mp3 |title2="ti" }} == Trivia == *The High Scores listing by default has the names Lifty on top with 200,000 points and [[Lumpy]] on the bottom with 20,000 points. *[[Lumpy]] (spelled "LUMPY" in this case) is also the default player name when the player is about to submit their new high score. == References == <references/> {{NavboxGame}} [[Category:Games]]
