Ok, listen; I don't have a particular problem with point and click games. In fact I love point and click games. For example, Mist is one of my all time favorite games... EVER! I simply love that game. So, along those lines, I also enjoy games where one uses intuition and realism to traverse the game scape. So, I'm fine with solving problems and using intuition to figure out what I need to do, as if this were real life. For example, if in real life I needed to cross a river (and for some strange reason i couldn't simply swim across...), I would intuitively and in real life use a plank of wood I found to create a makeshift bridge. The only problem is that in real life I wouldn't need to click a small and particular part of the river (stream) to place the make shift bridge... In other words, I got to the river, and had the plank of wood. I thought 'hey, I should place this plank down like a retarded little brige". I then clicked the middle of the stream with the bridge. No success... So i got fed up and viewed the walk through... And lo and behold, you do use the plank.... BUT YOU HAVE TO CLICK A SPECIFIC PART OF THE STREAM?!?! It wasn't even the most narrow looking section, as a real detailist might click... The other problem is there is NO SETUP AT ALL. Not even a mysterious plot that gives almost undecipherable hints like in Mist; but at least i knew what to do in Mist!! Sorry, this game just frustrated me... There have been plenty of other games very similar to this; ones with no real sense of direction, setup, or any explanation of controles or in game environment interaction. But I guess this game was the last straw, because I finally decided to write a pissed off review. I'm banking on the fact that no one is really going to read this, so this is more of a personal cathartic rant. Oh well. I'm done. So yeah, that's the reason I gave this game such a low rating. I also love how all these similar games come from other pseudo-legit gaming websites (who mainly put these up to draw gamers to THEIR site), and so the author comment is always impersonal and extremely unhelpful. Oh well, I can safely assume I can say the fallowing without the author ever seeing it: YOU SUCK!!! (Also, newgrounds moderators, i say this in the nicest and most respectful way, so please don't get upset. Besides, even counting the younger users in the Newgrounds community, it is safe to assume we have ALL seen "you suck" and consider it not necissarily a hateful comment, but a comment that shows valid displeasure...) Anyway, I'm done being weird (trust me, I don't talk like this, i just like to write this well and this formally). Bad game, you get the point. Blah...
