Fun and not too hard to solve.



Game Title: Twenties Flappers vs The Mummy
Game Creator: thecatamites
Reviewer: AznChipmunk
Engine: Adventure Game Studio
Genre: Adventure
Site: http://rpgmaker.net/


Overview:
Plot: This was great. I loved the dialogue, and I liked the plot. There was a clear sense of what to do the entire time, and it is pretty funny. The characters had a pretty defined personality, although there wasn't much depth to them (it's only like a 10 minute game though.)
4/5.

Gameplay: Adventure-game style gameplay (my favorite.) Basically similar to any other adventure game's gameplay. The puzzles all make sense, and are pretty easy, yet fun to solve. However, controls were a bit confusing--it wasn't clear how to access the inventory until I looked in the readme. And then, it wasn't clear how to use the inventory and the information wasn't included in the readme. (It was a bit confusing since the mouse graphic didn't change like most AGS games I've played.)
3.5/5.

Graphics: Sloppy looking, but it works. It's all handdrawn, sort of a quick pencil sketchy type looking style. It all is cohesive at least, and works for what it needs to do.
3/5.

Music & Sound: Music was alright. It wasn't too noticeable of an aspect, but eh, it worked. I really like Dance Macabre, although I didn't think it fit the game. I don't think there were any sound effects.
2/5.

Creativity & Originality: The gameplay itself isn't unique or original, but the whole wacky premise, including the plot, writing, and general style make it unique. It has a comedic flair to it, and the dialogue is interesting to read throughout the entire game.
3.5/5.

Pros:
-Fun, not too hard to solve like some adventure games

Cons:
-Short, almost too easy really

Final Score:
3 and a QUARTER WELPS out of 5 WELPS

WHAAAALP.

Final Comments/Notes: Fun and short. Could be more to it, but eh, it's good for something made in one day.

Three and a quarter? This is madness!
Hey, thanks for the review! I know what you mean about the inventory, I used the default one and forgot to edit it so you had to click the arrow button instead of just clicking on stuff. I'm surprised you didn't care for the music though since that was my favourite part haha. Glad you liked it anyway!
It wasn't that I disliked the music, I just didn't feel that the music stood out too much or anything, and I didn't feel it all fit the theme that well. But I enjoyed it a lot anyways!
