It should have been a free flash release. It's not exciting, challenging, or visually appealing enough to merit even a short playthrough, and spending money on it seems silly. Of the 90 minutes I played the game, I spent maybe 30 minutes collecting animal farts. The previous puzzle involves collecting animal farts. For example, the point-and-click interface allows you to click anywhere on the screen to interact with any object - yet for certain objects, it requires your little hero character to be standing in a certain area, making it easy to dismiss something as non-interactive when in fact you were just incorrectly positioned.Īnd the very last puzzle of the game is a frustrating chore - it's a timing-based puzzle, already something I don't care for, and if you get it wrong, which is highly likely as it takes a bit of trial-and-error to figure out, you have to grind out the game's previous puzzle to get back into the situation needed to try your luck again.
