 forgot to mention this one in the OROW thread. I really like the premise of this game (says something about me, perhaps?  ) and with colourful graphics it's hard to not like. Puzzles worked well, and I liked the ending a lot. Yay!

I think was the best graphical-funnybutshort-game in the orow, but Is really that isn't a standard adventure and maybe is the reason that not win any of the first prizes.
Need.. more.. coffee, now... I loved this game, it was my OROW-favourite. Keep on keeping on! |

I've just fired it up when I had a few minutes to spare, and I've only got into the intro so far. I like the mainic feel of the first few minutes.
And... TELSTAR!!! Where did you dig that piece up from??
Looking forward to playing the rest.

Thanks, all! Hehe, the Telestar song has always made me think of cheesy pageants and gameshows. Finally here came a chance to make that vision come to fruition! To actually answer the question, I have a Ventures Greatest Hits CD Some gamers want to live vicariously stealing cars and committing crimes, I just enjoy sabotaging and injuring beautiful people... and what the hell is wrong with that?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing. |

This was actually a nice surprise. One of the few AGS games I've thoroughly enjoyed and not felt frustrated playing. The art style was great and and the dialogue was funny. Throw some uplifting music in there and you've got yourself a game!* Why don't more people put uplifting music in their games these days?
edit: * that was positive criticism by the way, you did great!

Hey MashPotato, I played through this yesterday and I really enjoyed it! The puzzles were great (meaning: I didn't have to look up any hints ) and your art style looks really cool when translated to low-res. Spoiler below, select the area to read the textWhile I was playing, I thought some of the "solutions" were a bit harsh, but the ending made it totally okay. I really didn't see the ending coming, and it made my day. Really genius twist. Although I have to say... Spoiler below, select the area to read the textI hurt a little on the inside when I had to kill that goldfish. |
