Community Insight:
Make more games like this, we really enjoyed this one.
A weird and surprising game, but funny nonetheless. We have to admit we needed the walkthrough a few times, especially for the telephone numbers. We would say to make the a special button just for the walkthrough as it seems many did not know it existed. We would also be nice if there were a button in the corner for the map instead of having to walk all the way out and then walk along the map circle a million times. Overall, admire the simple, yet detailed pixelated animation and look forward to future games. Also, the homeless gamer was a nice touch. ;).
We think it could be a fun game if most of it wasnt spent waiting for the characters to walk across the screen. Ill keep it on our phone for a while and if an update comes out that makes the walking faster, Ill give it another try.
We finally saw the ending of the game! At first, it was stuck and difficult, but we are very satisfied because we finished the game ourselves without a tip. We love the delicate story and humor of this game:) Love the Nostalgic graphics too. It was a fun game! Thanks.
Wish there was a hint thing or something cause it stuck in the game and we tried looking online but theres nothing but overall its a good game and fun we just dont like being stuck.
As soon as somebody plays this game, their expectations are subverted. Certain not a monkey island game or Putt Putt goes to the circus game much less a Sesame Street game. Its funny but also subtly crude and deconstructs how far someone will go to get what they want. Pretty short and fun atmospheric game.
Glad we don't know Barney. What a jerk. Lol.
A very cute story with unconventional characters. Finished in a few days and you cant beat free, although we did donate to the down and out developer. While there were no hints, you shouldnt need any as long as you have what you need, and some are not as obvious when you dont. The hardest puzzle was the final one but they were all interesting. Good ol pixelation, a blast to the past.
Very funny game well worth a play through, would love to play a sequel.
Im so happy to see a revival of point n clicks. This one was right on the moneyjust enough nostalgia and just enough modernity. Loved it.
Seriously well made. The graphics have a very consistent style and the characters have great designs. Deserves way more attention than its gotten.
Had a really fun time with this. Big lover of all the old point and clicks – broken swords, day of tentacle, monkey islands and so on we didnt need a walkthrough at all. Other than for safe puzzle. But it was super satisfying. Thank you for a fun adventure.
