Grounded (not to be confused with the word of the same name) is a Codename: Kids Next Door game at the Cartoon Network website. The game is based on the episode Operation: T.U.R.N.I.P..
Story[]
Turnips have invaded the KND headquarters! Help the Kids Next Door drip deep into the Earth to find and destroy the evil monster Turnip.
Instructions[]
- Move the P.I.P.E.P.O.D. with your mouse.
- Press and hold the mouse button to charge the seismic cannon. Release the button to blast the Turnips. The longer you hold the button, the bigger the blast.
Bonus items[]
- Bomb: Destroys all Turnips in the screen
- Energy: refills energy bar
Controls[]
The player drives the P.I.P.E.P.O.D. and burrows through the ground to find and destroy the Giant Turnip. The P.I.P.E.P.O.D. is controlled with the mouse, holding the mouse higher towards the P.I.P.E.P.O.D. will decrease its speed, while moving it further down will increase its speed.
The objective is to use the seismic cannon, which is activated by pressing the mouse button, to destroy turnips while also steering clear of rocks and boulders. Holding down the mouse button will increase the radius of the seismic blast.
Information[]
A single turnip awards 100 points, but hitting several turnips will awards bonus point. There are also two different glowing orbs which, when destroyed, will either refill the energy bar or destroy all the turnips visible on the screen.
Losing at any stage sends the player to the "mission failed" screen and displays their score (See Gallery below). They can choose to continue, which returns them to the start of the level where they lost.
Gameplay[]
The player digs downwards into the ground to find the Giant Turnip. Level One is brown earth with beige rocks, where most of the turnips lay still and only the red turnips move towards the player.
Level Two has lighter colored earth with darker colored rocks. More red turnips appear on this level, but they are still the only ones moving, the rest stay still.
Level Three has orange earth and dark brown rocks, most of the purple turnips move now as well as the red ones. The purple turnips mostly move around in a circle.
Level Four is the final level, with red earth and red rocks. Now red, purple and some white turnips move around to attack. The purple can also move outwards in addition to the circle. The white turnips only move horizontally or vertically.
The boss fight is where they player meets the Giant Turnip; at this point there are no rocks or other turnips. The giant turnip attacks by whipping its roots at the player, and the player can only attack with the seismic cannon. The turnip turns brown when defeated and the player is sent to the "mission complete" screen with their score and a button to play again (See Gallery below).
