What players say

Players praise the mix of platforming and adventure game puzzles, saying the world opens up quickly and quests have multiple solutions. The writing earns consistent praise for its humor and pop culture references, but some find the early dialogue excessive. Controls are called tight and the game is compared favorably to classic side-scrollers and LucasArts titles.
