John Ray Space Adventure

Fairly linear gameplay w/ average puzzles but generally enjoyable. Unfortunately, the app automatically shuts down periodically, and although it looks like your place is saved, certain actions you’ve previously taken are unrecognized (like the loss of crystals previously given to Maljerk—he says you still owe them—or to the aliens). I’ll have to restart the whole game and save often to reach the end at this point, which isn’t worth it.

Great throwback to the Kings Quest, Monkey island, LucasArts games of yore. I am always searching for anything reminiscent of those games, and this one scratched that itch! The only bad news is it came out recently, which means I’ll probably have to wait a while for any more offerings from the creators. Please keep ‘em coming!

All I need now is a pay per minute line to call for hints. If you grew up with games like monkey island and space quest you’ll like it.
