Zoonami release WiiWare game

imageMartin Hollis and his team at Zoonami, has created a hairdressing WiiWare game.

A casual game that utilises the Wiimote and Nunchuck as clippers and shears, Bonsai Barber challenges players to trim the foliage-based outcrops on the heads of various characters.

In this game the village residents are hungry for the latest in foliage fashion, and it’s up to you, the new barber, to fix them up. Use the tools of your trade: scissors, clippers, spray can, and more in this humorous, first-of-its-kind “first-person-groomer” game. Bonsai Barber features a colorful cast of 12 intriguing customers, including a temperamental shallot starlet (don’t call her an onion), an oddball strawberry boffin, a cactus cowboy, a daredevil carrot, and a suave banana with top-secret clearance.

imageEach day, five customers arrive to test your stylistic skill. If the customer requests a specific style, you’ll plow that furrow, or you can rely on your expertise to pick from more than 30 popular fashions. Or, why not turn over a new leaf? Be creative and see how they react. They’re a demanding bunch, so if you miss an appointment, you’ll hear about it-on your Wii Message Board. If you do a good job, you may receive a gift or even a postcard from an exotic destination as your happy customers travel to distant lands and show off their exquisite coifs. Bonsai Barber (Nintendo, 1-4 players, Rated E for Everyone-Comic Mischief, 1,000 Wii Points). Released in US 30th March 2009. European Release Date: TBC

imageZoonami was formed in 2000 by Hollis, and is based in Cambridge. Since the studio’s conception, it has created various games including Zendoku for the PSP and DS, and Go! Puzzle for the PlayStation 3.

Bonsai Barber is available now for 1000 Wii Points.
