First the Pros:
The game is fun and funny. Very Harold, and much more Harold on top of it.
I liked the spinning. I got a small chuckle out of some of the sound effects.
And the Cons: I'll admit it, I pretty much gave up at the second rock puzzle. I know there is a solution to it from reading the comments, but it broke the flow for too long in the game and had more fun things I could be doing.
It was a difficulty spike in the logic that had no warning and could have been either toned down, or had other puzzles leading up to it that slowly increased the logic difficulty.
Overall it was fun and cute. The chaos and randomness added well to the charm!

This game had me laughing the whole time. Really well done!

I forgot all that I saw about the boulder puzzles (except the cheating way to do the second one) but managed to figure them both out without cheating!

Captures the humor of the original, but includes gameplay! Seeing the sword icon thrown made me lose it, as did so many other tiny moments. NEED MORE. Such an abrupt ending, but thrilled to have played what I did.

Fun and humorous.  Laughed really hard at the slime after the bat.  And the harold reactions to the encounters.  Overall, really enjoyed it.

Another hilarious entry with just amazing dialog.

Writing, concept, and the overall zany nature were all exceptional.

I kind of wish more of the fights were just on-map cut scenes, but the "spam Spark until out of MP" gag didn't wear out its welcome toooooo much.

That second boulder puzzle on the other hand was tedious. There are a couple paths that should work but don't either because of the blocker or because of an unseen glowie pad, and I could see this actually stopping progression for folks that don't like / can't do puzzles.

Still, lots of fun even if a couple parts dragged on slightly.

I'm sure I will go back and play the previous installments now.

The legend returns once more in an incredible comedic fashion. Where we factory reset, have new Harolds take center stage and allow their virtually 1-2 brain cells to function as they go through the most hilarious comedy adventure of the Haroldverse lineup.

The second boulder puzzle feels like a massive trick and a half in the sense that it's almost surprising what the solution is. And the overall hilarity that ensues alongside well-executed comedic timing makes for some of the most enjoyable comedy to play through. Truly, the Harold comedian we did not deserve but appreciate nonetheless.

The spinning, the magical light sheep, the rock puzzles and whatever happened to Harold 8! Honestly, the second rock puzzle game some headache but I once I realized what I was supposed to do it was easy sailing!

All throughout I was going "If these guys were in a horror movie, they'd trip on their shoe lace and get poked by a pencil." "How many Harolds does it take to change a lightbulb? None, cause they don't have anything in there to begin with!" that's what was going through my mind anytime ANYONE opened their mouths.

Jolly good show! The best part of this game was the writing! I can't get over the spinning of fear from the slimes!

Nooo! I must discover HAROLD 8's fate!

This was hilarious, I loved it. Didn't always quite understand what was going on, but that just made me relate more to the protagonist.

So many quotable lines in this. The bit with the stairs was brilliant.

Okay, your game was really awesome. It starts out lowkey, but you did a lot of really awesome stuff there. I was legit excited when I saw the overworld. You were sweating the whole time for nothing. Should be a top 10 entry.
