The Abandoned Planet

A meh point and click game. Honestly probably a 6/10. It starts off decent but then some of the puzzle solutions become super convoluted and you have to really write everything down. One of the things that pissed me off are that your key items are very well hidden and you might've never known you can find them unless you were randomly clicking everywhere. This was so close to being a downvote for me.

This is really a short but excellent adventure game. The puzzles can all be reasoned out with the journal and clues provided and the story wrapped up nicely at the end and then set up for hopefully a sequel some day. Voice acting was great, no idea why some reviews are complaining about it. Easily worth the price and the time to play through it. Works great on steamdeck. The only real criticism I have is there is one puzzle where you have to use a special viewpoint to see the button pattern which was silly because she could clearly just look up and see the same thing -- that really didn't make any sense why you had to specifically look at it from the other island. Other than that all the puzzles were a blast to work out.

This game's puzzles absolutely made me think! Creative and satisfying to solve, with an interesting story to go along with it all. The alien world visuals were so fun, and I appreciate the alien journal coming into play again and again in different areas of the game. The pixel art and accompanying music is quite beautiful, which of course adds to the whole game's charm.

This is a pretty good, if a bit short, point-and-click adventure. Story is decent, and the graphical style is actually nice to view while playing. The puzzles were not terribly hard, for the most part, except for a couple of inventory masher solutions. Worth the money, in my opinion. Pick it up if you have some spare dosh and some time to kill.

It feels like a flash game but stretched out pretty far. Music is good, art is amazing, puzzles are decent. I just feel like it could be... shorter? I can't pinpoint why but every narrative element they take time to show feels kind of like there wasn't enough build up to it, and rather than making the game longer I think it'd be cooler if there was less of it. A cool game with a nice vibe and strong art direction, just. Feels like a flash game. Not a bad thing
