ALEX GORDON GAME 3 UPGRADE

Thanks Alawar and GGAOTD! A game with a cat protagonist couldn't have come at a better time, as I just lost my own cat. Overall, I really am enjoying the general peacefulness of this game and will likely complete this eventually. Dialogue was somewhat poor in places and could use a little work. Possibly make the upgradable island more customizable, such as choosing the placement of items (Fishdom's custom aquariums would be a good example of what I mean). Minor, but since ESC is pause, it would be nice if hitting ESC again would resume the game. It's very blurry, even letterboxed, at 1920x1080 when played at fullscreen. Possibly work at a higher resolution for future games. Keyboard controls are responsive, and I'm very happy to see the ability to configure them to the user's liking, as that's something often left out of casual games. The game also explains all of its gameplay elements as you go, so no one will feel lost or stuck.

Gameplay is very easy to someone who grew up on old Mario titles on NES, but it's relaxing, fun, and perfect for anyone of any skill level to play.

Quite a few collectables are scattered around the levels, and the island upgrade system is a cute addition. The game seems to be moderately lengthly, and the multiple paths in each level add a touch of exploration. Having pieces of the area overlap the level itself was a a nice touch that made the game seem more polished. Graphics, both for characters and backgrounds are nicely done, and animations range from very good to okay, but never poor. And it certainly was: The game opened to cheery music and a cute intro.

I haven't downloaded any games in a while, but this looked too charming to resist.
