I played this on SCUMMVM on my iPad while traveling back and forth to Amsterdam, finishing it very early on my way back, so I’m guessing it took me about 6ish hours to finish.
My thoughts:
– I’m not sure if my childhood memory of this game seeped into my subconscious, I’m too used to 90s cartoon logic, or if this was just a very easy adventure game, but I almost never got stuck.
– I would hate to live in cutopia.
– Some of the puzzles that required a bit more precision clicking were harder than needed on my setup, but that’s more because a touch screen is not as precise as a mouse.
– The character work is great, so many characters are just fun.
– I think I lucked out on the sliding puzzle, although I know it’s an optional puzzle.
– I must admit I was deflecting my screen a bit when I was in the post-malevolated, not wanting my fellow passengers to see that.
– I remember this being much harder as a kid, but I’m guessing that was because the idiom-driven cutifier puzzle.
All in all, it was great to revisit it, I enjoyed it a lot, although for me it felt a bit too shallow to be named in the same breath as Monkey Island, Sam & Max, and other greats of the genre.
