Review
This is a genuinely funny game; it’s the kind of game I wish I would have written.
The title means ‘Lucky Spinelli Must Die’. Unfortunately, Lucky Spinelli, a mafia hitman, is very, very lucky.
One of the main attractions of the game is the humorous gangster dialogue, which includes references to a recent ifcomp game as well as a series of improbable coincidences, kind of like Pink Panther movies in terms of humor.
The game also has an overall conceit which is very funny that messes with some of the parser conventions for meta commands. By the end I was grinning at how absurd it got.
According to the blurb, this is another game that was meant for Petite Morte but got expanded. Because of this, the game suffers in terms of implementation of objects. The ‘main path’ is pretty smooth, but there are multiple areas I had to decompile the game for because I had to make a leap of intuition in German and couldn’t do it (especially guessing the noun I needed to interact with in the cabin of the truck and the verb to use with the worker).
Very amusing. Unfortunately I am strongly biased towards games of other languages because translation and guessing words and google translate adds another layer of interaction, so I can’t tell if this would still be very fun for native German speakers or not.
