The Credits Rolled Before I Could Even Understand What the Game Was About I don’t mind short games or ones with limited interactivity, but this particular game takes that formula a bit too far. The act of interacting with it felt almost meaningless, and I couldn’t help but feel disconnected from what was happening. While I do appreciate the simplicity of the art style, some scenes—like the one with the island and the giant—are so convoluted that it's hard to discern what's going on. The game also features three characters, but it doesn’t really matter because they’re essentially just one asset. There’s nothing about them that stands out, and none of them have enough depth to justify their presence in the game. Why bother creating three characters if none of them are developed enough to make a difference? The only redeeming quality I can give the game is that some of its sound effects are actually funny, but that’s where the positives end. Ultimately, I’d advise you...

About This Game
