Summary

Not my cup of tea

The Good

The game was pretty funny. That is by far the best thing going for it.

The Bad

The game is extremely frustrating to play. When you take an action, you have no idea what your character will actually do. As a result, the game is just repeated trial and error. To make matters worse, there is a very short time limit, so you find yourself just clicking wildly hoping for a good result. The graphics are also pretty bad, but that is part of the intended art style and not necessarily a negative.

The Bottom Line

McPixel is essentially adventure game "moon logic" taken to the nth degree. You "solve puzzles" without using much of your brain - it's all blind clicking and dumb luck. Some people enjoy this, but I found it too frustrating, despite the humor.
