Big Deal, Oh!

Andrew Schultz, renowned wordplay game writer, has recently been adding images to his games which I think has been a great improvement.

This game is spoonerism-based, like many of the author's other games. You wander from place to place, finding important objects and transposing the beginning sounds of the words, unlocking new places to go to or having an effect on the environment.

The plot is more episodic than narrative, focused on helping people out or bringing items together.

This one felt well-organized and the art seemed more detailed than before. It had two puzzles that I struggled with, which broke the easier pattern of 'here are these obvious words' with 'guess these additional words'. But it was harder in a good way; I wonder if I could have gotten them right without help.

There were 2 or 3 minor inconsistencies; a map said it exited east when it meant west, and a picture said something was right when it meant left. But overall it was satisfying.
