A first parser game with a surreal world and vivid imagery, April 3, 2020This game is made by 1/2 of the team that made the excellent rabbit-based game Ürs a couple of years ago. It's a first try at making a parser game. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Thanks for playing the Spring Thing games and reviewing them, I see you went through and reviewed everything, including The Land of Breakfast and Lunch. I appreciate your review but I also find a review is best when it judges the game based on what it set out to do. I saw that you spent most of your review talking about the puzzle design in the game. It's true that the puzzles are mostly ridiculous and not the most well-thought-out part of the whole thing. The thing is, I really try to make clear in the game's description, about text, score description, and in-game hint text that the puzzles aren't important or the point of the game. Very possibly I should have completely left the puzzles out of the game, but I know some people really like something to do or figure out so I left them in. Here's a list of things you CAN do in the game that hopefully would delight a player BESIDES trying to solve a puzzle: - Look at and smell all the breakfast and lunch items - Bend the plastic doll - Change the name of locations - Find out the history of the Dutch ship - Play with the dog - Scare your brother - See the names of all my dumb fake television shows - Sing, pray, jump, look self, xyzzy, etc. I use the word diorama because it's mainly a series of little scenes with descriptions of every little miniscule thing. You did mention another game that you felt like was similar but had more thematic unity and I do appreciate that criticism, but honestly the theme is a mish-mash of my childhood memories and things people my age might remember in a vague way about their childhoods or childhood stories. Anyway, thank you very much for playing and reviewing the game but I did think it worth it to leave a response since your review may end up being the only thing publicly written about the game. |
