Reminiscent of the old Lucasarts adventures.

The Good
I liked some of the remarks the character makes and some of the situations, they made me smile in some occasions (and I recognize that's a bit hard sometimes).

Good graphics also, despite the fact that the main character sprite seems like a modification of Guybrush from Monkey Island, the world where the game takes place it's colorful and feels alive. The music also sets the mood of the game very well.

The Bad
Maybe it remembers too much to the old Lucas adventure games, sometimes it feels like the creator wanted to make a mixture of Monkey Island and Simon the Sorcerer from Adventure Soft, and that isn't very creative sirs.

Also, the puzzles were too easy, an abuse of the "bring X object to Y character" effect and so on, very simple puzzles that might ruin the experience to hardcore adventure gamers.

The Bottom Line
Good amateur game, but I think it was a bit too overrated in the AGS community, anyway, you can download it for free, so I recommend you to try it despite it's flaws, you will have a good time playing it.
