Journey of a Roach

I bought this game to try something different and I must say it is a very good work. Watching the world that spins around you is intriguing and the story is pleasant and funny, even if a bit short. A good game for its price.

I bought this game on sale, roughly 80 cents, so take that into consideration. Journey of a roach is a unique point n click adventure in which you can navigate all sides of a room, from ceiling to floor. This makes for some unique puzzles, where your approach may vary on your location. The music and graphics are cute and create a relaxing atmosphere. "Cutscenes" are a low-budget affair, reminding me of mid-00s flash games. Puzzles are straightforward, and by pressing the space button, you can identify hotspots if you get stuck, which I always consider a nice feature in adventures. The main disadvantage of this game is its' length; it took me like two n a half hours to beat it with no walkthrough, so I expect it to be like half an hour tops if you know what you're doing. As far as movement goes, it is kind of wonky at the beginning, I sometimes even missed a couple of areas due to the disorientation, but you grow used to it, and I didn't feel nauseous like some other reviewers mentioned. If you get it on sale, at a max prize of 1 euro/pound/dollar, it's definitely worth it.

A nice no stress little game with good graphics and fun puzzles for 3 to 4 hours.

What little I saw of the game was clever, cute and fun. Too bad I could not continue playing as the 3d topsy turvy gameplay induced the most sickening nausea. Just a warning for others out there that suffer from this effect when playing 3d games like portal.

The mobility of the keyboard with the character is very interesting. Riddles often have common sense. A trip full of mischief.
