the point and click adventure gameplay is standard fare (if not a bit worse with brain wormy puzzle solutions given that you start the game off by adding steps to a ladder with stale/hard breadsticks...) but where this really sets itself apart is in aesthetic, music, and voice acting.
Kito is so sweet, i love him.

shockingly short, which is funny cause i started it when it originally came out but only got like two thirds through it apparently
decent enough although the mismatched fidelity of environments and characters is aesthetically...unpleasant
i like the line when he puts the fish in his pocket

I can't handle point and click adventure game logic its too much for my brain. The moment that "look in the cupboard to find the stale breadsticks to make a fucking ladder" happened I immediately slipped off. Kind funny tho
Stylizace dá vzpomenout na Grim Fandango (jakkoli tam šlo o inspiraci mexickým folklorem zatímco zde africkým) a styl, průběh, dialogy i humor zase na novější Monkey Islandy. Výtečná stylizace je navíc podpořena skvělým dabingem i hudební složkou. Problém není ani v samotném adventuření; je to sice bez zádrhelů, ale zábavné. Problém je čistě a jen délka. Nemám nic proti krátkým hrám, pokud má nastavená délka opodstatnění. Zde nemá; je to na necelé dvě hodiny a to ještě autoři natahují herní čas tím, že když někde něco seberete, tak vás čeká cesta napříč mnoha obrazovkami, abyste to použili a následně s výsledkem zase zpět přes všechny ty obrazovky na původní místo. Navíc to nikam nevede, nic se neuzavře... Takto to působí dojmem zpoplatněného dema na povedenou adventuru. Je to prostě prolog a nikoli první kapitola příběhu.
Really cool art style, but as usual, I ran afoul of that darned Adventure Game Logic.
Fun short point and click game. the voice acting is fun, soundtrack is great reggae music and story is pretty interesting. Would have wished the chapter was more longer, but it was what it was.
