How it feels

A breezy, oddball split-screen adventure with a playful 80s comic-tone and a good-natured environmental satire.

What players say

A short, free point-and-click adventure that serves as a loving parody of Day of the Tentacle, players say. It lasts about 20 to 30 minutes, has voice acting and pixel art, and is often considered a demo for the developer's upcoming full game. A few note a quirk where some object interactions only appear after you look at them first.
