![]() ![]() What a surprise discovery for me! The game plays well, responds to the mouse immediately and I fell in love with Alex. I played 2 hours straight today and actually had to stop myself from playing for a while. Yep, call me uncoordinated :P but being able to use the mouse swung it for me. I really don't like using arrow keys in games, since (unless I watch my fingers) I really can't guarantee the right result. I won't go over the pros and cons, since I think this has already been covered well, but I will say that the temptation to try this game came from the comment regarding mouse use. I HATE platform games - mostly! ) But all the things that usually annoy me about them don't seem present in this excellent version of the genre. Thanks Alawar and GGAOTD! A game with a cat protagonist couldn't have come at a better time, as I just lost my own cat. Overall, I really am enjoying the general peacefulness of this game and will likely complete this eventually. ![]() Dialogue was somewhat poor in places and could use a little work. Possibly make the upgradable island more customizable, such as choosing the placement of items (Fishdom's custom aquariums would be a good example of what I mean). Minor, but since ESC is pause, it would be nice if hitting ESC again would resume the game. It's very blurry, even letterboxed, at 1920x1080 when played at fullscreen. Possibly work at a higher resolution for future games. Keyboard controls are responsive, and I'm very happy to see the ability to configure them to the user's liking, as that's something often left out of casual games. The game also explains all of its gameplay elements as you go, so no one will feel lost or stuck. Gameplay is very easy to someone who grew up on old Mario titles on NES, but it's relaxing, fun, and perfect for anyone of any skill level to play. ALEX GORDON DOWNLOAD GAME UPGRADEQuite a few collectables are scattered around the levels, and the island upgrade system is a cute addition. The game seems to be moderately lengthly, and the multiple paths in each level add a touch of exploration. Having pieces of the area overlap the level itself was a a nice touch that made the game seem more polished. Graphics, both for characters and backgrounds are nicely done, and animations range from very good to okay, but never poor. ![]() And it certainly was: The game opened to cheery music and a cute intro. I haven't downloaded any games in a while, but this looked too charming to resist. ![]()
