…” the two” what? The Dwarf vaguely mentions turning a red flower blue, and if you’re lucky you’ll have tripped over blue powder by then, but which flowers, where, how do you mix it with the red one? To highlight what the process of playing this Mad Hatter designed game is like Talking to Identical Dwarf NPC#13 by the broken water fountain at Charity Square unlocks the quest “Red + Blue = ?”, which has the description “ Put the two together for something you’ve never seen before.” You run around, jumping on and throwing pigs and other animals, before talking to every NPC you see in order to unlock quests.

So what the hell prompted me to play it in first place?Īfter slogging through Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, which upon a replay was the most dragged out one in the original canon, I wanted a platformer that was more snappy, colourful and bright enough to show me where the hell I was going. It sent me into a state of video game fatigue that has insured I’ve barely touched games in the weeks since playing.
