***** out of 5
thanks for the game (got it from bundle)
you are the fairy godmother of a girl living her 'cinderella at the ball' wish. unfortunately you are really bad at your job. after the mega disaster of a dance you have to reset time back four minutes. after meddling with four items the outcome can change. you can meddle and create a domino effect to create a fire, make people slip on a banana peel, or help your girl bluff answers to trivia questions the prime minister gives you. some of the solutions are a bit wacky (the fruit to drop is not a banana) but there's a help hint system that guides you if you get stuck. it's a time loop game like overboard but compressed to a few rooms and four choices to make per loop. once you get a feel for how meddling an item affects people and events you can chain them together for the effect you want.
game has got some nice art and i loved the sharp humor. there's a lot of non-repeating dialogue even for when you're doing a lot of loops. skip dialogue is very fast and stops when there's new text. aside from the humor, you have a small incentive to try out the other solutions with rewards of humorous cutscenes. i plan to go back and try the remaining ways. a very polished, very fun game. well worth the price ($5) if you don't own it. make sure to try out Jam and the Mystery of the Mysteriously Spooky Mansion, an earlier and less complex game by the dev which has similar humor.
