For those of you that don't know what The Happy Tree Friends are, it's an online flash cartoon made by Mondo Mini Shows. Now, as it would sound like a nice happy childrens cartoon, and up front it sure does look like it, it's nothing of the sort. The Happy Tree Friend get brutally slaughtered in every episode. Well, they decided to make a video game about it.
It looks as if the game plays like a cross between Lemmings and Little Big Planet. The Friends are on a set path walking through the current level you're playing, and it's up to you in ensure they make it through safely. But just for fun, you can let a few of them get killed along the way, and there are plenty of brutal things to get that job done throughout the game.

Why the hell was that an age restricted video?!? There's hundreds of times more blood on the Itchy and Scratchy segments of Simpsons during primetime TV!
They probably just wanted to make sure they didn't get in trouble, because this country is so uptight.
