Cute...like a slow child.

I put this game on my wish list a long time ago based solely on the animation, in fact the developers have done themselves a favor by failing to include a video on the product page. Had i seen one I would have realized that, while fairly cute well drawn, this game is not at all the "playable cartoon" that is promised. It is just another "hand drawn" adventure game.

The problem lies mostly in the world. They have invented a world that needs a good amount of explaining to begin with, and is in the end, just not very interesting. The opening "quest" that occupies the first 30 minutes or so, revolves around finding a pigeon who has stolen a necklace from a sort of fascist zealot...seriously.

The performances are fine enough i suppose, but theyre cut together so awkwardly, and in addition to dialogue that features some new term you have to remember every 10 ten seconds, the pace of the game in general is so slow that i couldnt make it out of the first section without feeling as if i were wasting my time.

The cutscenes feature flash animation sub-par of any childrens TV network, and when you are placed in the playable scenes, you are very clearly in a one panel at a time adventure game. It is a great attempt at an unnecessary thing, and there are better games and stories out there. (Monument Valley, the far superior yet not without flaw Machinima, or Broken Age).

The music is clearly the most inspired part of the game, and seems to want to carry the game like a Sherpa dragging a weekend adventurer up mount Everest.

Said and done, i will now refer outside the app store before making purchases based on description and a few well placed pictures. -JPO
