Play this or eat a cactus!

Well...
I chose randomly a short game to review and this was the one I found. Like Acceptance (that I reviewed some days ago) this is community game too, so it's a game about the Rmk.net people, so it should be a lot of fun. Is this game fun to play? Let's find out.

The first thing I noticed that mapping is basic but the resources used mainly Rtp, are almost all coherent and match the surroundings, when they do not it's for humor, so yes, that was expected. The same goes for music and sounds... nothing special, but what is present it's appropriate to the comedic nature of this funny adventure! (Oh this is a rhyme!)


This is simply amazing! Achievement unlocked!

In this game made by Muffle we play as Muffle (duh!). She's coming back to the community after an intense period of game making and well... unfortunately the happy Rmk.net world is now ruled by a mysterious tyrant that is really fond of cactuses... or cacti (if you prefer latin!). Who is he? Do you really expect I will spoil the ending? Buahahahahahahahahaha. Nope!

Eat a Cactus is a hilarious game, a little fun adventure with enteraining dialogues, bizarre situations and few easy combat parts (really easy but not too much to be considered ridiculous). I like how there are jokes also about the game glitches and the dreaded "welp room".

Jokes aside, this is a nice little comedic "exploration game", but Muffle surprised me with the greatest ending ever made, an outstandingly brilliant and original idea. No, really that was a stroke of genius, try it, and thank me later, please! What a twist!


Sure I have! I just kicked your asses! ... oh, hi Frogge!

Verdict
Ok, as you can expect the score is largely dependent on what do you think about the whole Rmk.net community, so the score is MY score.
You hate them? It's a 2! You love them? It's a 4!
You do not know anything about Rpgmaker.net? Ok, so why are you here then? Now, you may like this little game even if you do not know anything so my advice is, as usual, try it yourself, it's no too bad or too long. And not difficult at all. To tell the truth the jokes can be understood even if you are not an expert of rmk and its community, and the glitches are embraced as they become part of the fun. But the dialogues and the funny memorable characters are the strong points of this small glitchy comedic game.

I had fun, then 3.5 is my vote! Which will be yours then? Now play this game or eat a cactus!
