A Mad Scientist Once Giggled At This Eyeball

Jonas Kyratzes (et al.)

A crayon-drawn adventure game? I've only played about 5 minutes of it so far but I'm thoroughly entertained. Will have to investigate further when I get home from work...

Yeah, just relax and enjoy and examine everything. It's not especially challenging, but it's got lots of genuine humor; and some heart and depth too.

Can't recommend this one enough... The Book of Living Magic looks fantastic, is perfectly written and -though quite easy- plays like a dream. An excellent effort by team Kyratzes.

Already on my radar. I've played a few of their previous games. Always something new and interesting so far.

I downloaded the zip & played it on the standalone Flash Player - really a lot of fun.

But the game took a wrong loop somewhere half-though & really started picking its nose around the (presumably) end (meaning: the music played, but it only responded very slowly to the mouse). So, I reached the temple of so-so, but couldn't deliver the message from the unfunny monk. Too bad there isn't something like a "save" option.
