I was really excited about this and thought it was great to begin with but the controls ruin it for me. Fantastic concept, terrible execution. Big disappointment as it could and should have been so much better.

I thought it was good, but as Yahtzee said its hard to be creative when you know one method works and when you get rewarded for using as little things as possible it just turns into meh. A lot of the time I had an idea in my head but the items used didnt work the wayI expected.

I agree 100%. The amount of times I've sworn at the little bugger when he's done something stupid like walk of the edge of a cliff as I was placing another object!

Yeah controls are really bad. One bit I had a baseball bat to hit all the rats with and I just wanted him to walk forward but instead he went and hit the chef, who then just kept hitting me with no where to go!

Also for example you can get a sniper rifle but I dont see a way to actually use it properly from distance so whats the point?

Items dont seem to work like you intend them to, or how they should. Like for example a car was broken down so I called in a mechanic and he just stood there. Or if you get a boat and ride it on some water with then one fish can actually capsize the whole boat just but by swimming into it.

Feels to me like they had a great concept, started out okay, then just couldnt be bothered to finish the game before releasing it. Shame.

Got this on Friday for a small price. Stuck on the last level of world 1. I've done each enough times with different items to get the gold stars so far.
