Stick it to the Man!

Very polished and bug free for an indie title - nothing amateurish about it. Perhaps just a bit short (thus my mark of 4.5/5). Anyway, I don't usually care much for platformers where you have to jump with single pixel precision (esp. when they sport floaty instead of pinpoint-exact controls). Fortunately this game isn't like that at all - platforming is quite forgiving. Mind though, there *are* some sections where you need to move quite fast an not make mistakes so the game isn't all just leisure adventure-style clicking around and does require good reflexes now and then. That can be avoided up to a point by cleverly slapping stickers on your enemies at the right moments, but this still requires repeating the section quite a few times and studying how they react. Nothing too difficult really, since checkpoints are not far apart and death doesn't cost you anything. Apart from platforming, rest of the game consists of enjoying the (silly and funny) story and figuring out the puzzles (what sticker to use where). Puzzles are mostly on the easy side, since reading people's minds give you a pretty good idea what you have to do, though one or two did stump me a bit and required trying everything on everyone to see what would stick (literally). The story itself is simple yet cute and warmhearted and made me laugh out loud a couple of times - which doesn't happen often. I like the graphic style too. If you're among people whom happen to dislike it though (check the intro video), perhaps better to skip the whole game as it would suck too much fun out of it. Soundtrack is great as well (wish it was available for DL). If you're a fan of original, different, genre-defying games, or just want to have an afternoon of warmhearted fun, I really recommend this.

The pacing was good. Art style was unexpected, but good. Sound and dialogue was good. Played continuously until the end. The development team needs an award.

An awesome indie game that will get you smiling until the end. Good production, amazing art, soundtrack and voices. Go get it now!

Esthetically, the game looks really nice and it's got some really good voice acting. However, the style of the game doesn't really serve a purpose, and there is no reason for the cardboard cutout style drawing. It could just as easily be 3D models, or anything else, and the game would function the same exact way. That isn't really an issue, though. The problem is that most of the gameplay is very repetitive: find someone, read their mind, "pick" their mind, and finally click on someone else. Problem solved! Don't believe me? Well, you'll see for yourself; absolutely no variety, and it gets boring pretty soon. That's reason behind the grade. There are better platformers out there. There are better adventures out there. Overall, there are better games out there.

A point and click with a lot of influence from double fine games. Smart, versatile, with a good script. Simple gameplay, but bizarre in terms of atmosphere :: brilliant !!
