Adventure Boy Cheapskate DX Reviews

The game only tells you P for pause. I had to look at a walkthrough for it to tell me the controls. WASD to walk and SPACE to talk. The game was worth a dollar not five. It also keeps resetting my progress. Not sure if I'm exiting wrong or what. I've had to start over 3 times now. I go to file and exit but it doesn't save every time like the game says it saves automatically.

This game is sweet! It has a very approachable scope; it takes place all in one little town, and there are even sections that take place inside just one building! This mitigates the classic adventure game problem of "man which one of the NPCs did I forget to talk to?" because there just aren't that many people and you really can just go and talk to all of them. There were never any puzzles where the solution felt stupid either, which is another adventure game problem. I always felt like "oh yeah duh" whenever I finally worked something out. And even if you can't work out the solution to something straight away, going around town and showing all your items to the NPCs was nice because they always had something to say about each thing, and sometimes react in really neat and unexpected ways. Also there's a crab with buck-teeth and I love him.

I love this game! I streamed myself playing, both me and chat had a great experience with this. The jokes are horrible and cheesey, but in the perfect kind of way. You have to think a little bit but logic is not so far-fatched that you become annoyed with the game. The suprise of newgame plus caught me off guard too. Can't praise this enough!
