Nutella Factory is an ugly game. That being said, it\'s the game I enjoyed and played the most. This is one of those games where gameplay adds up for graphics, and I\'d recommend it for everyone to try it out.

At the start you\'re some dude in a nutella factory. You need to get into the nutella, put some of it into your bucket, and go back to feed the troll. When you are inside the nutella, you lose air. When you\'re air is gone, you lose energy. When you\'re energy is gone, you die. But that\'s not all. You also lose energy by time. To recover energy, you need to eat some nutella yourself. But to eat, you must get into the nutella, which means losing air. To cut it short, it\'s a complex game. I suggest reading the readme file where it\'s all explained.

The fun part of the game, for me at least, was trying to balance it all out. Just as everything starts going well, the nutella wave covers the whole map and I lose air no matter what. I start panicking, I don\'t know what to do. Should I eat some nutella to keep my energy up, or should I try and find some spot on the map that is free of nutella. This can be very addictive.

Finally, to add some criticism. The graphics is not very good. There are no sounds. The readme file is too long. Other than that, it\'s a great game! I give maximum score for all categories (except artistical).

Scores: Overall 5 Artistical 3 Technical 5 Genre 5

When I first played this game, I was very confused. But after a bit it made a little more sense. It involved doing a number of things at the same time. While the graphics were not very good, I think that the gameplay made up for this a bit. The main idea of the game was to keep back the nutella, seems simple enough. To do this you had to fill up your bucket, then feed it to the troll (thats where the troll entered the game). You could also eat the nutella, this would give you more energy (so you don\'t die). After a bit you could also get the Nutellator (this was the unlockable thing) which is a gun that you shoot at targets (while doing the normal things). If you hit a target the nutella would be pushed back a bit.
The use of sine waves was very apparent, and fairly well integrated into the game (the nutella came after you as a sort of wave that resembled a sine wave).
Overall I thought this game was decent, it did fufill all the requirements (oh, yeah the parody was on slashdot trolls, hence \"Do not feed the troll\") well.

Scores: Overall 3 Artistical 4 Technical 4 Genre 4
