Over the past several years, computer generated 3D graphics have replaced hand drawn 2D images as a visual art form almost entirely. Today, very few animated movies from major studios are made with traditional animation, and computer games from commercial developers created with 2D sprites and backgrounds are almost extinct.

Good

As the review states, graphics and music are the stars of the game. The graphics reminded me of the good ol' Warner cartoons, or Disney's hand - animated movies. Most of the puzzles are of the "schlep this from there and put it over there" type.

The simplistic plot is clear from the very beginning.

Overall, the game is a mix of casual and adventure games, but falls flat between the two genres. Though an eye candy, and the first game in recent memory I didn't have to resort to a walthrough at some time or other, it left me with a strange feeling that there is something missing. Maybe the cutscenes should have more animation rather than still pictures and subtitles, maybe the abrupt, incomplete ending, I cannot really tell.

Since it took me only a little less than 10 hours to complete, I recommend it to both novice and experienced gamers, despite its shortcomings.

Never mind, it was very easy finding it at big fish.

Nice review. But I wonder where can I find the game. Have I missed a link? If so, it's quite hidden.
