SneakyMonkey's review of Message Quest
For a game you can finish in an hour, not quite worth it at full price. That said, it's visually lovely, the various puzzles are fun, though repetitive, and the story hints at a larger world and character backstory I really wish we had a chance to see. I would love for this game to be expanded upon in the future.
So my computer crashed just as I started playing this. My number one issue with the game so far is that you have to click on all the speech bubbles to progress the dialogue. You can't just click anywhere on the screen. No. You have to click on the individual speech bubble, and they pop in and out all over the screen. It's annoying. So incredibly annoying.
The art however is LOVELY and the animations, dialogue, etc. is silly and fun.
To be honest, though, the thought of going through all that dialogue bubble clicking all over again just to get where I was before.... *weeps*
