Compact adventuron wordplay puzzle game with pixel art, December 1, 2025
Related reviews: 15-30 minutes

This is an Andrew Schultz game written in Adventuron. The adventuron aspect allows the use of pixel art here, which I think greatly enhances the experience. There were several pages where I said 'wow!' out loud when I saw them, including one featuring animals. Great work here; since these wordplay games can become very abstract, the art helps ground the game, and the colors are cheerful.

This is a wordplay game about taking two-word pairs and typing other two-word pairs that sound like them when spoken out loud. There are 12 such pairs. I got stuck twice: once, not realizing I pronounced something differently than the author (curse my Utah accent!), and another where I didn't realize I was doing wordplay on the wrong thing in a room.

Overall, great scope and polish for a 4 hr game. I would definitely look forward to more games in this vein (e.g. level of difficulty, size, graphics).
