GAMEZONE ➧ EDGE GUARDS This game is like Super Smash Bros., so you know the drill! Deal damage, then deliver one final whack to send your opponent flying! Savvy players will jump, glide, or soar back to the platforms, but you can block them by edge guarding. Throw moves on the edge, shoot projectiles to bounce ‘em away, or jump out with a combo of your own to stop their return. ➧ BESTEST BRAWLERS There are stacks of fighters to choose from in MultiVersus, but focus on unlocking Batman and Finn first. Both are easy to learn and deal major damage! Harley Quinn is also great, while Bugs Bunny requires more skill (but is an awesome option once he’s been mastered). Want more? Try Taz, Tom and Jerry, Shaggy, Velma,…

Meet Skye Blackburn-Lang, an entomologist and food scientist. In 2007, Skye became Australia’s first insect protein farmer, and loves teaching about sustainable foods and edible insects. Her life story appears in the new book, Aussie STEM Stars: Skye Blackburn-Lang – Eating bugs for the planet, which is on sale now! K1: Hi Skye! How would you explain your work as an entomologist, and also as a food scientist? S: An entomologist is a scientist who studies bugs. Food scientists develop new foods, make sure our foods are safe to eat, and play a very important role in our food system.

K1: Hello Davide! We’re so excited for the Mario + Rabbids sequel! How did you originally land this exciting and funny collaboration with the Rabbid and Mario characters? D: We basically came up with 13 different concepts for a game that would use the Rabbid and Mario characters in different genres. At the end, we scratched all of the ideas and the last one remaining was Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. K1: Mario and Rabbids are so different! D: We really wanted to play on the contrast between brave heroes (like Mario) and crazy creatures (like Rabbids), and try to use this contrast to create humour. K1: Why did you make a tactics game? D: It didn’t make sense to create a game that Nintendo was already making. It didn’t…

CREATING A GOOD SPOOKY STORY… There are a few must-have ingredients for a spooky story. You need villains that will make the reader’s skin crawl – think people who can shed their skin like a snake, or monsters with teeth where eyeballs should be. Next, you need cliffhangers! Chapters should end in a way that makes the reader feel like they need to keep turning the pages. Lastly, a good spooky story needs a dangerous quest, or a mystery that needs solving! ELSTON-FRIGHT INSPIRATIONS… Thankfully, Elston-Fright doesn’t exist (I would be very frightened if it did) but it was inspired by the south-west coast of Australia, where I used to go on holidays with my family as a kid. It’s filled with beautiful beaches and sparkling waters, but you can’t…
