Lovingly crafted indie adventure
I've been following Inspector Waffles over the past 3 years or so and was extremely happy to have the opportunity to help out in beta testing as well as drawing one of the Woolball cards. The demo version covers the (relatively short) first of five chapters and does a good job of getting you interested in the full game. Personally, I love the colourful pixel art graphics as well as the hand drawn cutscenes and the quality is consistently good throughout the game, also helped by the atmospheric music and good sound effects. The characters have a lot of personality (not just gruff street smart protagonist Waffles and his adorable partner Spotty, but also the geeky Pixel, the shrewd owner of the antiques store to name but a few) and the story goes surprisingly deep with some intriguing twists, quite a few of which I did not see coming (or at least not very far in advance) but which all made sense given the facts of the case. The puzzles are not overly hard, but pretty sensible with no moon logic. If you investigate each scene thoroughly, you shouldn't need to do a lot of backtracking. I expect a good 5-6 hours of solid entertainment on a blind playthrough for most players. Apart from the main case, there's even a sort of side quest to perform that will not only get you an achievement, but also unlocks a special reward at the end. The puns and other humour are genuinely funny and made me literally laugh out loud at times. Having followed the game for so long, I was not disappointed in how the game has turned out and I can wholeheartedly recommend Inspector Waffles. Two thumbs up from me.
