Milkmaid of the Milky Way

It’s a surprisingly beautiful, emotional and witty game. Some puzzles really make you scratch your head, even though there is never too many things to do or consider at a one time, which is a definite plus.

A lovely and witty puzzle adventure, very much in the spirit of Monkey Islands. Solutions are often not obvious, but retrospectively always make hilariously perfect sense.

Peli on todella hyvä esimerkki mihin nykyaikana pystytään. Tämä peli on täysin puzzle peli joten jos tämä kategoria ei ole hallussa niin en suosittele. Todella hyvä tarina, äänet ja ohjattavuus. Pelin kesto oli noin 4 tuntia joten yllättävän pitkä peli oli. Todella hyvä. Suosittelen.

Nicely done for just a one-person developer. Love the rhymes in all the dialogues and the music.

Yes it’s got some hiccups here and there, but considering ONE guy did the whole thing, languages and all, it’s beyond impressive. The nitpicky reviewers should be ashamed of themselves; they’re putting big money game studio expectations on a one man band. I loved it, and thought the price was generous. If the critics have a better game that they made by themselves, I’d love to see it. Since they don’t, I wish they’d think for a minute about what went into this, and perhaps realize that the creator had no financial incentive whatsoever to do all that work that they so readily dump on. Indie efforts like this should be lauded for the 99% that’s great, not berated for everything less than perfect.

I don‘t have a problem in general how short it is. Only that most of the time is spent running around. But there are more problems. First, navigation is absolutely horrible. You never know where you can go and where not. I spent a lot of time in the beginning because of this and I just could not find the salt. Second, while the idea of the rhymes is novel, most of them are so, SO bad, like written by 7 year olds or autotranslated from another language. The artstyle is often very crude as well. I am a big fan of point and click adventures and played all the classics. Some of them multiple times. I really wanted to like it, but honestly I am happy to have finished it and very likely won‘t touch it ever again.

Very fun game with good puzzles, but for this price I would expect it to take longer to complete

I’m an adventure gamer from the old days, so this hit the spot, perfect. Just one complaint: it’s too difficult to make some of the simplest moves that are required. Like for the life of me I cannot walk past the barn to the left most of the time when I try. Why is it so difficult?!?! So frustrating.

MOO

I love classic point-and-clicks by LucasArts and Sierra. This game very much reminded me and gave me that feel of old King’s Quest games, but especially Loom. It is shorter than most adventures, but it is sophisticated. I am fluent in both French and English and found the translation of the dialogues impressively accurate while maintaining rhyme, and still giving the necessary hints to solve problems. These are for sure not “just translated.” A lot of thought went into it. I applaud the creator for this. The story is sweet, and the puzzles not over the top difficult. It’s a friendly point-and-click for newbies.
