[h1] Hefty raccoon is now part of the Avengers! Very buggy gameplay, you can break the game by pausing for too long. Hit detection is atrocious. Everything needs more polish so far it feels more like an early alpha of some action platformer. [/h1]

You.... are cinnamon. Aided by your trusty shield Dun, you are assigned the seemingly impossible task of saving your entire family and defeating the evil. The game MAY start a bit buggy. It MAY or may not memory leak itself into hell and become unplayable. These are things that MAY happen. BUT... if they DONT happen. And you manage to play through the game. I'd like to imagine you'll find it as charming, and surprisingly engaging as I did. I won't spoil what you get for winning, but it really changes your perspective on the whole experience and turns this from a silly quick game to riff on, into an enchanting journey into both this lovely world created by the devs over at Purple Giraffe Games AND... a journey into your soul. I highly recommend playing this game, and I recommend letting yourself go into it with an open mind. Looking forward to future projects from Purple Giraffe. I think PJ is awesome.

Made by a team I knew in college for their final, shared for free. Can't beat free.

"The Way of Cinnamon" is an extremely badly made 3D platformer made by furries for furries. The low poly furry art proved to be a major deterrent for gamers, so this was a complete and utter failure. What do you do in the game? There's furries, a little brawling, furries, platform creation, and furries. And some of the worst janky gameplay and graphics I've seen in hours. In terms of visuals, this features fairly low quality low poly 3D graphics which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably. Gaming is a visual medium, and while some developers struggle with creating high quality visuals, failing to do so is a disservice to gamers. It's very difficult to recommend bad looking games. This game is fairly dated at 6 years old... it's showing a bit of age and won't give you a very up-to-date gaming experience. This is "free" enough, at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 9 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad …

I know its free, but its also glitchy as hell! I got caught in an infinite death loop with no enemies nearby, and no way to get out of it with the constant game over screen every time I moved forward an inch. Needs some work!

Игра 'The Way of Cinnamon' – это уютное и трогательное приключение, которое окутывает теплом, словно свежеиспеченный пирог с корицей. Визуальный стиль, выполненный в мягких пастельных тонах и с вниманием к деталям, создает атмосферу спокойствия и умиротворения. Игровой процесс представляет собой смесь головоломок и исследования мира, где каждая локация наполнена интересными персонажами и небольшими историями. Сюжет, хоть и кажется простым на первый взгляд, постепенно раскрывается, затрагивая темы семьи, памяти и важности личных связей. Главная героиня, ищущая утраченные воспоминания, вызывает искреннее сочувствие, и наблюдать за ее путешествием – настоящее удовольствие. Музыкальное сопровождение идеально дополняет визуальную составляющую, создавая неповторимую атмосферу. Несмотря на некоторую простоту геймплея, игра оставляет после себя крайне приятное впечатление. Это не тот проект, который поразит вас своей сложностью или инновациями, но он точно согреет душу и подарит несколько часов расслабления. Рекомендую всем, кто ищет что-то доброе, светлое и запоминающееся.
