The AGS Review Panel has left a comment about this game: Ridiculous puzzle situations complicate an otherwise short and simple game, though the humor redeems it somewhat.

Posted by Marion on 2008-10-25 at 19:55 (IP logged): Funny little game, but the puzzles are really too illogic. Too bad. Posted by uvaagsfan on 2007-10-05 at 22:50 (IP logged): Very memorable game for a short game. Loved the character design... the main character is very distinctive and some of the one-liners are pretty funny. I only wish the final puzzle involving the pedestrian was a bit more involved or realistic. Posted by acme on 2007-08-24 at 16:14 (IP logged): not a bad game but the puzzles, although quite easy didn't always make a lot of sense, but that,s adventure games for you. Quite enjoyable, worth a go. Posted by x on 2005-12-23 at 05:48 (IP logged): I would and want try to play this game , but the file doesnt exist no longer (host deletes it? ). thats a pity... Posted by angellight on 2005-08-13 at 11:17 (IP logged): Fun, little game.. Try it!! Posted by Redmax on 2005-06-13 at 08:07 (IP logged): This was pretty bad. The graphics, while simplistic, were ok. The background, in particular, had far more appeal then the characters. However, what really kills it is how illogical some of the puzzles are. For instance, you use the old, overused, technique of sliding a piece of paper under a door and then pull it back with the key you pushed from the lock... but guess what, when you get the key, it doesn't work on the same door you pulled it out from (maybe due to the clip that was stuck in it), but, somehow, it works on your window. Another example is on the top of the tower, when you have a hammer and could easily throw that, but the designer thought it would be smarter if you would rip a rail metal bar with the hammer and THEN throw that metal bar. I would give other examples, but that would be like giving you a walkthrough for the game, which I won't. Finally, I did come across one bug, everytime you put the piece of paper under the door, after you got the first key, you'll continue to get more keys just by picking the paper up again - this needs to be fixed. I'm still giving this a 2 out 5 simply because the plot is somewhat original and there are some funny one-liners from your character, so I say kudos to that, but overall I was not impressed by this game. Posted by JuuL on 2005-01-23 at 09:06 (IP logged): I liked the game, but a lot of the puzzles were rather illogical. But the game is definately worth playing. Posted by Zor on 2004-04-27 at 11:08 (IP logged): This is a cool game, definately worth a download! So download now why doncha?
