Great game! I'm definitely going to play this one with my son - he's seven - but I've enjoyed playing through myself just now. The difficulty is beautifully scaled so that you experience some success on your shell-collecting mission quickly and have a very clear idea on what you're trying to do. I found the character of Barry really endearing and was rooting for him right from the start. The graphics give the player a nice sense of the scene and the writing is well-judged to offer some smiles but keep everything simple for beginners too. The character switching was a very neat twist which I enjoyed. This game has definitely made me much more interested in Adventuron because it was such a user-friendly and cute experience. Congratulations to the author.
