Toon hero euphoria and a love letter
My friend recommended me it long time ago. But I didn't want it. The box art package showed ugly clown poking at balloon eye. Even the title art chosen on this store page shows a protagonist about to suffer, perhaps being insane. It just made me think it was going to be 'experimental' FMV game in vibes, creepy, with IM Meen tier animation and cultural chaos. That and heard about cliffhanger. BUT THIS IS ACTUALLY LIKE REALLY GOOD?! Holey moley, it is good. It just had the most terrible promo ever. The game is a love letter to 90s cartoons of all the types. It's sincere without too much self-aware humor. Characters are absolutely fantastic and go all the way. The locations are separated among the cultures and there is some mixing and migration going on, keeping it orderly enough yet fun. I like that top villains are played 100% straight, made me feel overjoyed I would take them down. And I love the adult humor build in. Ending is also fine, like Monkey Island 2 and Simon the Sorcerer 2 tier. Puzzles are modern enough to make sense, albeit some pull off misdirection of abstraction and another are just time wasters. Very lovely. But pixel-hunting is a problem, I would often get lost because I haven't noticed "smaller active area inside bigger active area" deal. Man, all toon lovers have to check this one out! It has all the fun cutscene animations. Haven't felt this joy in a while. And there won't be another like this ever, because of all the acting talents and classic hand-drawn animations!
