You are Abe, the cute and likeable protagonist, and your goal is to free yourself and your fellow Mudokons from Rupture Farms, who wants to turn you all into tasty treats. You must solve simple puzzles and time your actions in order to do this. PROS: - Everything is divided into a grid system that makes strategizing easier. This gives you adequate time to make jumps and transition between movements. - In some areas, the order of completion doesn't matter. If you found one room too difficult to complete, you can complete the others and do it afterward. - The art style is nice. - Abe's voice is really likeable. CONS: - There is constant skipping for the video segments. This seems to be a widespread problem with recent Windows OSes, such as Windows 8.1. - The scrolling between screens can cause you to mis-time your actions, in turn causing you to die and have to re-do the section. - Some mechanics should have been explained, or explained earlier. For example, some bird portals are solely intended for your use. - A few more save points could have been added to avoid re-doing easy sections. - There is little to no replay value. If you loved this game and are feeling nostalgic, then surely you will play it again later, but otherwise there is no other reason to play it again. Overall, this game is quite fun and the puzzle and platforming work together quite well. I found playing this game as enjoyable as did when I first bought it in the late nineties. If you've played it before and want to play it again, or if you've never played it, then I'd recommend getting it. However, you'll need to watch the cut scenes online.
