Review-Breaking The Bank

Date Released-2008
Developers-PuffballsUnited
Genre-Adventure, Point-and-Click

Remember that 'alternate-choice' game I reviewed last time? Today, we have another one, but better. Breaking the Bank is a Newgrounds original game released by PuffballsUnited, as the first game in a series dubbed the 'Henry Stickman series.'

The game revolves around a stick figure attempting to...rob a bank. The game is simple, click an item and receive an outcome. This game actually features much to offer, as simple as it is. Even with the limited number of choices, the humour in every outcome balances it out. I'm a fan of physical comedy, and I was pleased playing this game for the comedy in it.

In short, this game features short, yet funny playthrough, at least for those who enjoy slapstick. If you're a fan of this, check this game out. Of course, I will be reviewing the rest of the series soon, so keep in for that. Did you play the game? Did you like or dislike it? What did you think of the review. Feedback and suggestions are appreciated, and I will see you all soon.

Review-An Average Day At School

Date Released-2005

Genre-Adventure, Point-and-Click

An Average Day At School is an adventure game originally uploaded to Newgrounds by users double-slash and NORM. The game revolves an unknown stick figure, going around the "Collège de Montréal" High School, an actual private high school in Quebec.

It's an ordinary Monday morning, and you're strolling to Math, only to realize the classroom is empty. After talking to the class coordinator, and completing a quick-time challenge, you find out the first class is Physical Education, and you quickly run to the gym. It's only after coming to the gym, however, that you realize the day is the 1st of November, and you came an hour early. The game ends after that.

So what did I think of it? Well it's definitely a very...interesting game. The idea is simple enough, which is to choose which scenarios play out, and choosing the wrong one having you "die," but the challenges don't have a set pace, resulting in a short game. Don't get me wrong, the challenges don't come too early, and at least the game has a palpable plot, but the game can have at least a tad bit more to it. Also, if you're expecting humour, there is little attempts at comedy, if at all. 

As it is now, it's a game that has a unique concept, but an execution in which there isn't enough time to play the game out. Hell, there's a review of the complete game, and it's three minutes long. It's just an amateur game that'll probably give you limited entertainment value. So did you play this game, and what did you think of it? Did you like or dislike the review? Tell me in the comments, it's very much appreciated, and I will see you in the next review.
