I was impressed. Game mechanics are intuitive, and even after I'd have my fill, I'd be in the kitchen going "Oh, wait, I could use that new thing over THERE, couldn't I?" and I'd be firing it back up. There's a lot to do, and no hand-holding. And not a lot of need to. Exploration was generally rewarded. The lost & found was always there in case I discarded a quest item "early" and didn't remember where. Clever way to keep the player from leaving the game in a bad state. I'm not really wanting to say a lot about the graphics, because... they work. It's simple, (uuuugly) but it gets the job done. No, my real complaint is that the targetting is a little bit flaky. It's probably most obvious when trying to pull carrots hoping for a radish, but it's fairly common on small items. It's not a deal-breaker, just turns the cowboy a bit ham-handed now and then. The good: Some incredibly clever moments... I wrestled a wizard. I played breakout during combat... with the same interface. And only got mildly mauled by bears. And I can't explain this game to anyone I know without sounding like more of a raving lunatic than usual. XD
