Punzel

This is a high quality cute little interactive experience. Deserves wayyy more reviews. Would rate it all ages? Maybe? Best for the young ones. Perhaps with a little guidance. Some of the later simple puzzles might frustrate perhaps? And while it might seem a little expensive for the playtime, if you think of this as a children's book, it's wayyy too cheap! ...I liked it though, brought a smile to my face this boring night ! Definitely would buy a second chapter if and when it comes out.

[h1]How cute do you want to be? Punzel: YES![/h1] [b]If you love a cute and funny story or collecting things and exploring all the little details this is a must play for you.[/b] Punzel is truely a remarkable and unique experience full of joyful interactions, clever jokes and iconic characters and animations. The gameplay is super intuitive and finds the right ballance between simplicity and challenge. You can really feel all the love, blood, sweat and tears that went into creating this game. It definitely offers room for multiple playthroughs and I can't wait for the next chapter to be released.

It is beyond belief how much love and details were put in this game. At every turn there are lots of funny or intriguing moments, and every step is rewarded tenfold. This is wholesome as can be!

This game is awesome! I love how the whole game works without any words or a lot of instructions. You can tell how many love was put into this game with all its little details, creative ideas and animations. Looking forward to play chapter 2. :)

Punzel is a nice little game. The world is very sweet designed and I had lots of fun discovering all details of it. The various puzzles seem tricky in the first place. But when you slowly understand them more and more, they're really fun to solve. The animations and sounds (and there are a lot!) are also very lovingly designed and just fun to watch and listen to :) Highly recommended for anyone who likes discovering and enjoys detail.

[strike][i]'Once upon a time, there was a princess, trap in a castle, with nothing to do, nothing a all.... ….... Until finally, fed up with her window view littered with corpses of deceased knights, Becoming another garden fertiliser, She decided to stand up for herself by traversing around the castle, Confusing her fouls with emotes, Solving tedious puzzles requiring a couple of retries, and defeating collect bugs for her pet crow, all the cost of her freedom, and to report to the HR, stating how they don't make chivalry knights like they used to.'[/i] [/strike] As harmless as Punzel Chapter 1 may seems, it does take a while to get going, unless you are more of a person who's used to non-verbal communication, like facial expressions, hand gestures, and body porosity then will have a great time making the character use different expression to get a reaction out of other characters by making them happy, angry, shy, etc, to progress through the game and solve the puzzle to get your way. For the most part, I enjoyed all the puzzles except for the light one; that one was a lot harder and picky to navigate to get the right expression down in the right order. Nonetheless, this was still a cute, delightfully fun game to play. Especially if you would like to collect plain artwork to print out to give to your kids or siblings who love colouring.

Short and sweet little adventure that is reminiscent of a playable coloring book (and you *can* color the screens!). Hand-drawn graphics and hand- (and mouth-)made sounds show the love that's been put into making this. And although the game might seem to be mainly for children at first, Punzel's ... *ahem* ... special character makes it a delight to play for older generations. I found giggling constantly while playing Punzel!

Cute game with very detailed hand-crafted animations and acommpanying sounds!

[h1]Charmantes Indie-Cartoon-Adventure[/h1] Obwohl sich dieses Spiel durch seinen grafischen Minimalismus auszeichnet, ist sehr viel Liebe zum Detail erkennbar. Die Figuren und Inhalte wurden gut durchdacht und liebevoll gezeichnet. Vor allem die Gefühlsregungen sind auch ohne Sprache treffend und klar erkennbar umgesetzt. In der Story finden sich einige überraschende Ideen, die den tristen Alltag im Märchenturm neu interpretieren. Der ständige Tag-Nacht-Zyklus innerhalb der selben Szenerie birgt - zumindest zunächst - das Risiko einer gewissen Monotonie, doch durch immer neue Details und so manche witzige Pointe bleib das Spiel kurzweilig. Etwas merkwürdig und unhandlich fand ich die Laufen-Steuerung per WASD, wo doch das gesamte restliche Spiel auf Point-and-Click basiert. Für mich logisch und viel bequemer wäre folglich, dass auch das Umherlaufen mit Klick auf den Boden statt der Notwendigkeit einer zweiten Hardwaremodalität möglich ist. Während ich im Spiel insgesamt gefühlt gut voran kam, tauchen vereinzelt Stellen auf, die ich schlicht nicht verstehe. So ist mir beispielsweise vollkommen unklar, wie [spoiler]das Treppen-Puzzle mit den Lampen (?)[/spoiler] gemeint ist. Hier sind die Befehlsoptionen für mich inhaltlich nicht zu verstehen und ich kam nur durch wahlloses Herumklicken zufällig vorran. Ich denke es wäre gut, etwas mehr Playtests zu machen, um die Verständlichkeit sicherzustellen und zu verbessern. Ansonsten ein sehr sehr schönes kleines Game mit einem ganz besonderen Charme!
