How it feels

Playing feels like guiding a zany, cartoonish Hollywood spoof full of witty dialogue and point-and-click puzzles.

What players say

Players are split on this Pendulo point-and-click. Many praise the hand-drawn art style, but just as many find the characters annoying and the writing obnoxious. A notoriously difficult music puzzle and some technical issues frustrate players.
