Flash game developers were incredibly ambitious despite the rather limited nature of the medium. These developers don't let that stop them, however, and so there's a ton of episodic series on the internet. Sift Heads was one that became successful and grew incredibly quickly. So quickly, in fact, that a sequel series came into existence with Sift Heads World. Let's look at Sift Heads World: Ultimatum.

To play Sift Heads World: Ultimatum, just run it with whatever SWF player you have.

The gameplay in this entry is actually different, being more similar to the classic Sift Heads games rather than the World series. It's a linear series of levels separated by cutscenes. While the levels do have the World serie's signature movement mechanic, the levels are a lot more enclosed this time around.

You also no longer choose your protagonist, with the game automatically changing who you play as as the situation arises. You'll be controlling Vinnie for most of the episode. That doesn't mean the other team members don't have their own role, though. Shorty gets to have some emotional heart to heart moments and carries the emotional weight of the narrative, while Kiro gets to take out his nemesis in a kickass moment.

All in all, Sift Heads World: Ultimatum is a fantastic finale to the series and well worth playing.
