![]() What's wrong with it? The controls feel laggy, pauses leave Juliet open for cheap hits at the end of combos, the auto-aim points anywhere except in the right direction, collision is unpredictable, and enemies often interrupt the player's attacks. This old-school formula feels a bit tired but it might have turned out all right if not for the cumbersome combat that's in dire need of polish and refinement. Killing several at once awards bigger score bonuses and more money to be used for upgrades and unlockables. Decapiate X zombies, the door to the next zone opens, and Juliet totters ahead. Each level is made up of areas that require a certain number of undead to be defeated before Juliet can move on. Lollipop Chainsaw's structure is quite simple, and will be instantly familiar to many. This setup would be fine enough for something that's as cleverly wink-wink as this game thinks it is, but shoddy mechanics, unpolished design, a script full of offensive material and constantly-whiffing jokes ensure this title will be in the running for "biggest misfire of 2012." Someone's opened a rift to an evil dimension, so it's up to our heroine and her disembodied-head-for-a-boyfriend Nick (don't ask!) to save the day. Lollipop Chainsaw stars barely-legal cheerleader Juliet Starling in a third-person, high scoring romp through the fictional town of San Romero as she wields her whirring weapon against hordes of undead. This "no-brainer?" It's literally a no-brainer. However, in the latest release from Grasshopper Manufacture, game creator Suda51 and co-writer James Gunn give a master class on just how wrong such a thing can go. If you ask me, it's got "cult classic" written all over it. It has not been tested for home use.On paper, blending zombies, Stihl-driven bloodshed, a rainbow-powered heroine and a thick dollop of sardonic humor seems like the recipe for a brilliant, can't-miss hit. This recipe was provided by a chef, restaurant or culinary professional. Flip the lolli-pies and bake until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes longer. Set on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake about 7 minutes. Follow suit, making 15 more lolli-pies, using the remaining discs of dough.īrush both sides of each lolli-pie with a wash of the egg yolk whisked with 1 teaspoon water. Using the tines of a fork, bind the 2 discs together, impressing around the edges of each pie pop. Remove 5 more discs from the refrigerator and center one on top of each disc that has pumpkin filling. Spoon about 2 teaspoons of the pie filling into the center of each disc. Set a popsicle stick on each disc such that one end of it is resting in the center. ![]() Keep 5 discs on your work surface and refrigerate the remaining disks on a baking sheet. Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter, cut 40 circles from the dough. With a floured rolling pin, roll the dough disc on a lightly floured surface until 1/4-inch thick. If stiff and very cold, let stand until the dough is cool but malleable. Bake the mix in a small baking dish until set (pumpkin mixture will be somewhat firm and should not jiggle when shook), about 15 minutes.įor assembling the pumpkin chai lolli-pies: Remove the dough from refrigerator. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and thoroughly incorporate. In a separate bowl, mix together the remaining dry ingredients. Whisk together the cream cheese, eggs and pumpkin using an electric mixer. Soak the popsicle sticks in water for at least 30 minutes. Dust lightly with the flour, wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before rolling.įor the pumpkin chai lolli-pie filling: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Shape into a ball with hands, then flatten into a 4-inch-wide disc. Press down on the dough with the broad side of the spatula until the dough sticks together, adding up to 1 tablespoon more ice water if it will not come together. With the blade of a rubber spatula, use a folding motion to mix. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons ice water over the mixture. Add the shortening and continue cutting in until the flour is pale yellow and resembles coarse cornmeal, with butter bits no larger than small peas, about 4 more 1-second pulses. Cut the butter into the flour with five 1-second pulses. ![]() Scatter the butter pieces over the flour mixture, tossing to coat the butter with a little of the flour. For the lolli-pie dough: Mix the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor fitted with a steel blade.
