This is cynical and hilarious?
Mildly snarky and not at all witty, more like. And dull as a wooden bowl with a potato in it. As point & click adventure games go, it's boring, which might be why they added a hidden-items style cookie hunt. That's "cookie hunt" as in they "hide" three chocolate cookies in each page (thrilling concept, eh?), so, as a hidden-items game, it's even more boring, because it's less "search for items" and more "hover the cursor over every pixel on the screen" -- if everything else weren't so badly done, it might be worth switching to 640x480 res before running it. As you might have already guessed, this means static pages, with no movement other than by going to another page, and no sprites (so adventure games like Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Indiana Jones, etc. obviously got it wrong). As a comedy game, it fails miserably. A combination of poor translation, dull jokes, and pathetic timing place it somewhere between watching pots boil and watching paint dry -- blindfolded, wearing noise-cancelling headphones, and sitting in an empty fridge. Mind you, the level of humour they were aiming for is slapped in your face twice, before you can start the game for the first time, as it asks whether or not you want the "toilet humour", even after you've said yes in the settings page. But even the toilet "humour" isn't funny, and it certainly does nothing to elevate the experience of this piece of software ("game"? No) beyond the level of badly-written storybook for three-year-olds with the occasional badly-timed and -implemented fart joke. So maybe not five stars, then, and I highly recommend reading books on gardening instead of trying this "game".
Is this helpful to you?
