Normally I like adventure games. Really, I\'m a huge fan and I even try to support the genre by buying its latest games such as the new Broken Sword.

But this has some horrendous art (draw in paint for sure) I guess with the intent of trying to add humour to supplement for the clear lack of talent in the artistic drawings (now I can\'t draw any better.... but this is not pleasant on the eyes one bit).

The story is fairly weak (the most important part of an adventure game), what’s interesting is the supposedly powerful scripting engine going on underneath, and hopefully the team will spend some time on trying to get something solid out of it, as the current graphical showcase is definitely lacking.

This aims to be a typical point-and-click adventure game. It\'s a pity that there are no real graphics (very basic paint gfx and no animations), as graphics are very important in that type of game. Also, there is basically no story, and the engine severely lacks functionality (no saved location states, if you leave-and-enter a location, all items are there again).

All in all a nice attempt, but the game is finished in

I love adventure games so you get points just for making one. And a complete winnable game, too, even though a little short. Nice work. And so true about 4 am...

Overall -- finished, playable. Nice.
Artistical -- it had artwork.. with shading and purple garbage. Not much \"news\" though.
Technical -- Impressive, inventory, scrolling, different rooms. Smoke/fire weren\'t really FX though.
Genre -- The main obstacle was getting past a big mound of garbage, so that fits the theme!

Scores: Overall 4 Artistical 2 Technical 4 Genre 3

This is the first time I\'ve seen an adventure game in TINS. Very cool, since I like adventure game.

However, the adventure genre might not be best genre for TINS. Lots of content, like storyline and graphics is needed. The engine feels pretty solid, but the game is very short and the puzzles that the player have to solve are insulting to the players intellect, at best.

The graphics are, well, ultra-dadaist, but provide a good laugh. Extra bonus for the comments about TINS at the end =).

There is lots of garbage in the game (purple garbage), but there seems to be no references to current events in the game. There is fire and smoke, but they are not proceduraly generated.

So, in essence:
Thumbs up for genre choice.
Thumbs down for short and boring.

Would love to se a proper (non-TINS) adventure game from you guys in the future!
