An amusing game based entirely on puns with some juvenile humor, January 15, 2016*

This game made me smile. You crashland on the island of Calembour and have to explore it to find Handsome and give him a bag.

The whole place is full of puns and silly jokes. For instance, you can walk into a bar (ouch!) or talk to a brick wall. The solution to many puzzles made me laugh or groan. When I finally found out what to do with magic marker, I shook my head and giggled.

There is a lot of dumb juvenile humor, with perhaps too many double entendres, especially about breasts. It reminds me of my friends when I was a fourteen year old boy, so that could be a turn off.

Only recommended for fans of puns.

It's funny you say that about juvenile humour, I remember I went out of my way to avoid that except in cases where I make the player think I'm ABOUT to make a juvenile joke, only for it to turn out to be innocent. Then again, I wrote this game a few years ago and I may be forgetting a lot of things!
