CID The Dummy

A guide to the baddies you'll be up against.

NORTHAMPTON, UK Fri 13th March 2009

With every story you have your heroes and also your fair share of enemies that like to get in the heroes’ way! Well, just in case you were wondering, this story is no different!

These enemies are tough, and each one has different weaknesses so you’d better know which are which!

Copter Cam: Small but frustrating enemies that are fast, but not very strong. Close range attacks are advised.

Guard Dog: Guard Dogs aren’t very fast but are persistent and always hungry! A smack on the snout should do the trick!

Security Guard: It is safest to attack Security Guards with the bazooka as they are strong and quick like a professional boxer!

Radioactive Abominion: These poisonous creations can do a lot of damage at close range, so fire from distance and keep out of EYE’s reach.

Workman Dumper: Strong, fast but not very smart, Workmen should be taken out with Rubber Bullets.

Soldier Dummy: Perfect middle of the road ‘fighters’ – hit from long range if possible!

Fish Dummy: NO FISHING! These vicious creatures should be avoided like Piranhas. Outswim them if you can…

Cursed Dummy: Very cunning foe, these like to play hide and seek and sneak up on you with their lethal knife.

Failed Experiment: Failed experiments are radioactive, so will try and touch you to inflict their nastiness.

About CID The Dummy

A star is born and he's made to last. CID THE DUMMY makes his debut in Oxygen Games’ first multi-platform production. It's an all-new action platformer that is sure to grab you with its enjoyable, fun gameplay, featuring a totally original character with charisma and moves, different fighting styles with which to battle enemies from unarmed combat to weapons like the Bazooka that can freeze, hit and burn.

• Interact as only a crash impact dummy can. Climb walls, swing on ropes, burn obstacles, destroy exploding barrels, use lifters, bounce on springs and with a neat head butt destroy walls all in stunningly realized environments. Game environment interaction is the most important part of the gameplay.

• CID's world is swarming with a host of fearfully fun enemies like the Dumper, Cursed Dummy and the bizarre Failed Experiment.

• Apart from fighting enemies, the player will enjoy solving puzzles, avoiding traps and using acrobatic skills to get out of dangerous situations!

CID The Dummy will be released on Wii™, Playstation®2, PSP®System, and PC.
