About This Game

From one of the artists behind "Deponia", "Leisure Suit Larry" and a bunch of game you never heard of, comes a new experience:

Is THIS a game?

Well, it has everything you'd expect from a video game:

  • loads of buttons

  • pixels (more than 1000!!!)

  • even animation!

  • achievements (those are important, right?)

  • a mouse-cursor to point and even click sometimes!

  • state of the art 8 bit sound-design!

  • An axolotl

  • More than 50 mini-”games”

  • pop culture references to ALL your (aka my) favorite game franchises

But… is this enough? What even is a game? Does this count? How much interactivity do you need? Are games art? What am I and if yes… how many? Are there maybe TOO many axolotls in this game?

Come in and find out for only 4 bucks! Only for a limited time (<= lie)! Support a more or less struggling gameartist, working in the industry for 10+ years (and still not good enough for the artstation front page). Aaaanyway, thank you for your time and have fun “playing” this “game”...

Jo out.

This game is a testament to how far gaming has come. It blends humor and philosophy in a way that’s both entertaining and thought-provoking. A unique experience that makes you laugh, reflect, and appreciate what games can be today.

There are funny games and games that make you think. This game is a rare combination of both. The hand-drawn graphics are gorgeous. My favorite is the character creator mini game.

★☆☆☆☆ It's a game. Just not a particularly fun one. The jokes and references to other media were funny, but it started to feel boring after the first few mini-games.

I wanted to call it dadaistic art but forgot I actually paid money. After two hours of "playing" this game I am now convinced that Patrick was right all along - Mayonnaise is an instrument and so is horseradish.

I feel seen and offended at the same time. 10/10
