VeggieTales is a Christian 3D-animated children's series made by BigIdea that premiered in 1993.
In 2005, BigIdea made an online game called Duke and the Great Pie War, made to promote the VeggieTales episode of the same name. The game was made specifically for a sweepstake on one of BigIdea's websites, PieWar.com, where contestants could sign in to play the game, and win VeggieTales prizes. After the sweepstakes were over, the game was moved to Bigideafun.com, where it remained there until the VeggieTales website was revamped in 2011. The game was also on the official Qubo website for some time.
Gameplay
All that's known of the gameplay is that it involves launching a character named Otis (Mr. Lunt) into a bucket of slime with a catapult. The player would have to use the left and right arrow keys to adjust the aim of the catapult, and press the space bar to launch him into the bucket of slime.
Availability
A [broken] .SWF file for the game exists on the Wayback Machine, but it only goes as far as the loading screen, leaving no gameplay. It is currently unknown if there is an .SWF file that has a fixed version of the game.
