Re: Game of the day...
Heh you're playing it wrong blucey - think of it as relaxing car journey, with explosions. I definitely get why it's a marmite game though. Some will like the atmosphere and that it's not too difficult, but I can see why some would see it as a slog. Contrary to most - I like the game but not the mus...

I wonder if we'll get any mavericks voting for their earlier stuff. For some people that's always the best. I wonder if Stuart Ross is still a fruit graphic designer?

The Nether Poppleton Treasure Hunt . Since it's been drizzling all day here, I enjoyed a few hours solving puzzles in Nether Poppleton. Both the game and author's names make me picture a quaint village in the 1950s, a bubble which not even my encounter with a local using a mobile phone could burst....

Bloody well done. As I said further up this thread, it's impressive how you just cracked on and did this. Looking forward to seeing it on the wall.

Superb! This is one of your best games Gab. Your trademark graphics are as gorgeous as ever, and you've got the playability spot on for me. The enemy behaviour is well judged too. They are pretty crafty when they change direction or decide to hang about. Great soundFX and music from Lee too - they r...
