The story you've chosen is very interesting. Your main character has a distinct personality that gives him character, livening up the game.

The art style is great, and it's not even jarring at all that the character doesn't move around the screen. Some things are so low rez that you can't tell what they are, but you find out when you hover your mouse over them so no problem there.

The puzzles are relatively easy, but are logical and consistent with the story. I love that there are messages for lots of things that aren't even part of a puzzle just for flavor text, and they even change when you try it again. This fleshes out the world and character quite a bit.

The music sets the atmosphere perfectly, and the myriad sound effects really bring the world to life.

The only significant negative aspect is that the interaction is confusing. Standard point & click adventure game interaction is left click to interact, right click to either examine or cycle the cursor. In this game, right click to interact, and left click to examine which is quite confusing at first. This is made even worse by the fact that when an inventory item is selected it switches to left click interact!

This game was quite fun.

I'm sorry for the reversed controls. I probably haven't played enough point and click games recently, and when I tested my game at first with the default controls (which are as you described), I was confusing them every time, so I decided to change them because it made more sense to me.

I should have listened to my testers who told me they were a bit confused by the controls... it's totally my bad on this :S

Just for future reference, if I work with this art style again, which items, if you remember, did you find unrecognizable without their description? :)

The rock was the main one. I didn't see it there cause it just looked like a blob of grey. But I don't know how you do a rock any better really. And like I said it wasn't really an issue cause eventually found it since the words pop up.

What's a rock doing inside on the floor anyway? :-P Well, it's an adventure game. Rocks are all over the place.
