The Revenge of Johnny Bonasera: Episode 1 Reviews

The game concept is interesting and it has a modern story with a mature humor. It has some gags that made me laught in loud voice! I recommend it for people who want to try something fresh and new (or who likes South Park).

Fun little P&C game. Easy enough and short. Pros: Fun Easy The thing that P&C games have to do is to make sense on what items to use and whatnot, and it does make sense.. most of the time. So that's good. Cons: No dialogue No music (besides like here and there the same thing Barely any SFX Short Final verdict: If you're a fun of P&C games you're not missing anything, but if you find it on sale or a bundle, I'd say get it. Nothing to lose with a short little story. I'm giving this a thumbs up cuz I'm definitely getting the 2nd episode on sale (ofc) whenever.

Some fatass, and his crew, threw my sandwich on the floor, so I left a permanent (or rather temporary for one of them) reminder to not fuck with my food. Short game, but really fun!

Fun adventure. I wish there were voices for the characters though.

I thoroughly enjoyed this game. I like its humor, the puzzles are not too hard, and it's nicely drawn. A true indie gem.

I appreciated relatively quick animations, compact "rooms" and concise dialogue. This enables to try out solutions in fairly quick succession without having to pause for an exposition dump or to watch the character move from screen to screen. It is indeed fairly short - well under two hours including the bonus mini-adventure, and it is text-only with no voice acting. Recommended to buy as a pack.

Pleasantly suprised by this game. Its ben in my library for well over a year before i played it. This game needs more recognition, perfect point and click game, humour, medium to hard pzzzles and cool story

[i]This review is part of my mini-project to review all four of the Johnny games. The Revenge of Johnny Bonasera is a 4-part episodic series by independent developer Rafael García. The series began in late 2016 and concluded in early 2020. The developer has floated the possibility of doing a fifth game at some point in the future, but the series is currently finished; The four games that are out tell a complete story with no loose ends. Each game in the series takes about two to three hours to complete, and each successive game is a bit larger and more ambitious than the previous entries. The series follows a physically weak but terribly ruthless young boy. In the first game, which works as a standalone title, Johnny takes revenge on some teenaged punks who ruin his sandwich. The second, third, and forth games change course a little bit and follow a whole story arc as Johnny takes revenge on some aliens who have abducted his mother. My overall impression of the series as a whole is positive. Johnny is not as big or as flashy as many other games; but it doesn't feel like it is even trying to compete with those. I am writing these reviews on Jan 2, 2020, the day after Adobe Flash officially died. Johnny feels like exactly the kind of game that would have existed and thrived as a mega-hit on a site like Newgrounds or Kongregate had it come out 15 years earlier. With the basic cartoonish art style, large and crudely animated sprites, vaguely adolescent humor, and simplicity of design, the series brings me a certain nostalgia for that era of gaming.[/i] This is the first entry in the series, and while I like it, I think it is the weakest of the bunch. I know that this particular entry frequently goes on deep discount and has even been given away for free, in order to draw players into the series. If you would like to buy this to test it out, keep in mind that the best bits are still yet to come. I believe this one was made as Rafael García was still finding his stride as a developer. In this entry, Johnny is up against three teenaged punks who lightly bully him. He decides to pay back the minor slight by absolutely ruining the bullies' lives. The punishment he doles out is way worse than the initial incident. While Johnny does some real ruthless stuff in all four of the games, he has absolutely no chill at all in this one. The first entry ends on a cliffhanger that sets up the remaining three games in the series. It also includes a very short but enjoyable bonus game, accessible from the main menu, which gives us some backstory for one of the game's minor characters.

Little point and click game, that was made with a lot of heart. Might not solicit any chuckles, but it is a nice diversion for a bit. I would only recommend purchasing at a huge discount, given the length and breadth of gameplay. There is a bit of music and a bit of (public domain?) sound effects, but nothing compared to the extensive assets contained in other similarly low-cost p-n-c games on steam. You will get a sense of supporting an indie developer, but with other chapters already selling here, this first chapter should have been a no-cost introduction to the series. I played this game on ubuntu linux 19.04 without any technical issues. The game uses a java-runtime engine, and it takes a 130 MBs of diskspace. The game contains a tiny bonus episode, as an extra, which is accessible from the menu.

I didn't mind the graphics being lo-fi, but what irks me is that there are about a total of 15 screens in the entire game, and I finished it in less than an hour. There's barely any sound, no music except for about 10 seconds worth. If this game was 99 cents, I wouldn't complain, but it is WAY too short for the price. The closest it comes to "South Park" is you can finish the game in about the time it takes to watch an episode of South Park.
