Help Zack fix a diabolical network of machines and retrieve his tools, which his colleagues have “borrowed” from him.
This game is similar to D/Generation. Just replace the storyline and atmosphere with a series of convoluted logic puzzles! It could almost work if the controls weren’t so clunky, the animation wasn’t so jerky, and the loading times weren’t so relentless. Not to mention that you can easily get yourself stuck, which is incredibly frustrating. Patient players who enjoy fiddling with buttons might derive some enjoyment, but I find it too slow and ultimately less fun than the cartoon intro promised.
Note that the game doesn’t support the mouse, and installation on the hard drive is mandatory. In any case, I’d recommend the PC version.
Well, with a bit of optimization, it could make a decent mobile phone game.
