Another PPP action platformer, this one inspired by Apogee games such as Duke Nukem. Indeed, here more than in any of PPP’s other games, the shareware flavor shines through. The way the character moves and animates; the style of level design; the tone to the background graphics and overall presentation — it feels like something you might have downloaded from your local BBS in mid-1993.
Somehow it's also reminiscent of some Sega Master System games, like Quartet and Golvellius.
Blork Carnage is a fairly tough game, with one-hit kills (at the start) and a few nigh-impossible jumps (jumping being an occasional sticking point in PPP’s games). This is one of PPP’s earliest games, and as such it’s fairly simple and straightforward, rather like Biokid. It also is the origin of several background elements and a sort of mascot character that will pop up again and again.
Also significant is just how many of PPP Team's later games are in some way spun off of Jack Booster's adventure here. In a sense, Blork Carnage is the glue holding their library together.

Mr. Jack Boost,
As chairman of the 3rd Continent, I hold you liable for damages caused by your brother.
I quote:
- Unauthorized reproduction of Blorks.
- Transformation of their genes.
- Degradation of the First and Second Continents.
- Illegal detention [illegible] -tres galactic, aliens and human hostages.
I beg you to return to Earth to bring order here.
S. Valenti
