Terrific gameplay and constant crashes
raffish
I keep buying whatever Glitch Games does, because they really do make some of the most delightful point-and-click adventures on the market. The only downside is that most of their their games (whether standalone or Steam-based) crash constantly, at least on the MacOS platform, and I do mean constantly. I'm less than 15 minutes into this one, and I've already had to reboot my entire MacBook Pro (which is reasonably high-end and running the latest OS) three times. In the meantime, the in-game camera will take only blank white photos for me, so I'm forced to use a real phone camera to fill in for that bit of basic game functionality. For $5, I find that I can put up with the inconveniences, but I have to hope that GG will someday fix whatever makes their game engine and MacOS really not like each other.
Totally unprepared for this game.

I went into this game thinking it was going to be a snap. The simplistic look and childish toys made me think I was just going to breeze through it with ease. Needless to say I no longer have any hair left on my head. Several parts of this game completely took me by surprise, and yes, I'll admit it, I had to hit the walkthrough several times. If you're looking for a game that'll make you nuts and take much longer than you think, this is the one for you. Adding some subtle hints would have helped, but all in all a good brain-wracking game.
Glitch is right...

This game opens and then crashes immediately. Waste of money
