Wonderful all around!
Usually hand-drawn games are just okay-games, and you play them for the art, which after a while gets old. None of that here! First, the art itself is ASTOUNDING. Room after room, there is something neat to discover in the backgrounds, and the animations are super cute; it's a pleasure just to zoom in and inspect the little details. But as a puzzle platformer, Creaks is also very fun and very polished. The different elements are introduced in an easy puzzle, then get combined and complicated into satisfying head-scratchers, so that you set up to play a couple levels and before you know it you've gone for 2 or 3 hours. There is a very neat story, told almost wordlessly through little animated cutscenes. Despite the name, though, the game is not creepy, but humorous in a very original way. Just the way the characters look and act, and the weird collectibles you find along the way made me smile constantly and sometimes laugh out loud. Also worth mentioning is the music, a breezy, jazzy score that, instead of emphasizing the danger, kicks up when you solve a puzzle: it feels as if the band is celebrating with you! All in all one of the most delightful games I've played this past year. I'd like to do a pro-con, but I literally can find no negatives, it's just a work of love, a little gem through and through.
