This is not too short!
That is, for what it's offering, it's actually just as well that the main game isn't any longer. Since it lacks the depth in story, characters and gameplay to justify being any longer than it is, this game being as short as it is - about six hours or so - IS A GOOD THING! Why? Well, because then the game stops before we start getting too damn tired of it. We don't get hours of repetitiveness designed to unnecessarily drag out the experience. Instead, we get a nice little turn-based RPG game that does what it does well enough, with just enough challenge to stop you from feeling like you're going completely auto-pilot. Miss a few opportunities when defending, or come to the boss fights with the wrong costume combination and you'll be in a world of hurt. In closing, the little world in here actually feels a bit less weird than what I expect from Double Fine games. So if you're looking for a true Tim Schafer-must-be-on-drugs experience, this isn't it, neither in plot, design, or execution. But it's silly, and pretty lighthearted, and a good afternoon's turn-based fun. Two if you play the second adventure that's included in the game.
