Captain Disaster in: Death Has A Million Stomping Boots

(Follow [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42150626-Jarl%2527s-Game-Treasury/]my curator[/url] for more reviews like this) Fun little adventure game in the style of Lucas Arts classics. The puzzles are mostly fair and solvable. There isn't much pixel hunting (the game even has a joke in one area where you can click on a single weird pixel, and your character comments "This isn't that kind of adventure game."), most of the puzzles feel logical. As an adventure game veteran I would rate them more towards the easy side, but they still require a bit of thinking. The only puzzles I found a little annoying were the ones that require you to wait around for an NPC to leave his spot, or listen to conversations that happen in the background to get a hint for one puzzle. My favorite puzzle was the one in your spaceship, when the hand scanner doesn't recognize your hand because it's too clean and you have to add all kinds of dirt to your fingers. The humor is pretty decent throughout, although a little over-reliant on references. You'll see a lot of Star Trek, Star Wars, Doctor Who, 2001 A Space Odyssey, Space Quest, and other popular sci-fi and adventure game franchises reference…

Captain Disaster in blah blah blah stomping boots is a wonderful little graphic adventure game. It's low budget, there aren't many locations, the interface is janky, the developers are also the voice actors, but it's thoroughly entertaining. The protagonist is the typical useless, unlikable slob that classic adventure games feature so often. And everything else about this is classic too. Timed puzzles. Wacky characters. The pop culture references come fast and furious. But - unlike a lot of other games which go heavy on the references - this one doesn't come across as trying too hard. I think it's because it has legitimately good puzzles in its own right. Of course they are utterly absurd, but they're very deftly hinted, so if you listen closely to the dialog and pay attention to the descriptions of all the items, it's possible to figure out the solution based only on what they give you. The downside is that you still need to pixel hunt. In a modern adventure game, this frustration would be solved by having a reveal hotspots button, but I suspect the engine the devs used is too old to have that feature. Maybe something for the next one, eh? Anyway, if you like funny oldskool adve…

Felt to me like it was trying too hard to be funny with a lot of references to other games and movies. I also found some of the puzzles very obtuse.

charming

Don't be fooled by simplistic graphics, this is a full-blown high quality adventure game featuring very clever puzzle design and lots of healthy humor. Playing it was a real joy. Labor of love, there's no doubt about it.
