the i of it
This is the story about the I of It: Help the little I to find the t again in this original platforming adventure.
I loved the inventive twist on plain platformers, with a "from above" element, instead of purely "on the floor."
However, I find I lack the dexterity and/or patience for games that require careful timing of my actions. I prefer intellectual puzzlers (which this was) to thread-the-needle puzzlers (which this also was).
@ anonymous: Yeah, I noticed that, too! EleWAITER.. strange pronunciation. But a really nice voice. I wonder what the person attached to that voice looks like...
It is quite easy on some levels to become stuck beyond escape. This is much more frustrating because I couldn't find any way to reset the level and there is no continue option.
... okay, I have no idea what I did to my screen settings to cut off about 1/4 of the screen, seeing as I had it on default view and there wasn't even a zoom option in the game, but disregard my last comment there. The problem was apparently entirely on my end.
FFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTT..
ReplyDelete:o)
someone is pretty excited about being first..!
ReplyDeleteNot worth playing.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely HILARIOUS, must play :-)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, sweet and hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI love the guy's accent, is that Dutch?
Loved it! What a cute concept! Way too short, if you ask me. I hope the developers will make a sequel.
ReplyDeleteI really liked this game. I think it's cute as well. :) I hope they make more like this!
ReplyDelete"Ouch cried I and died. Another try." haha so cool :P
ReplyDeleteLoved this game!
ReplyDeleteVery creative!

Not at all a bad game. Just not my cup of tea.
*click* The eleWAITER went down.

ReplyDelete@Carly me too, i was so curious abotu the voice, but i have no idea who made this game :(
ReplyDeletethe game's just unique, havent seen anything like that :)
hahhaha Very good game!
ReplyDeleteThe voice is fake, isn't it? It's not a person doing it. It's a voice synthesiser. That's how it sounds to me anyway.
ReplyDeleteaww no Niall, don't ruin it for us :D
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed this a lot.
ReplyDeleteIs it really possible to get stuck? I thought I was a few times but always found a way out.
@Niall... true, it sounds like it a wee bit, but it could be a real voice that just was messed with a bit.
ReplyDeletehahah!! That was fun!
ReplyDelete"ouch" cried I and died xD
ReplyDeleteCLEVER AND SIMPLE AND FRESH
ReplyDeleteTHE VOICE IS MY UNCLE
ReplyDeletethat's one if the cutest games i've played in a long time =]
ReplyDeleteI love the music, the game's ambiant and the concept! wow *___*
ReplyDeleteA "guide the ball through the maze" puzzle that cuts off at the edges? Really?
ReplyDeleteFun concept, but the gameplay is annoying. The lack of a "continue" option is especially irritating.
3/5.

ReplyDeletebest game in a while, in my opinion
ReplyDelete<"Boom" made the bomb>
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely funny!! :D
The outside levels are the best!
That voice reminds the English listening exercises! :) (I'm Italian)
because its cut off i cant do the maze. ive tried and tried and tried. why is it like that? its so frustrating, i have just given up.
ReplyDeleteNOT FUN AT ALL! THIS GAME IS SO STUPID! EPIC FAIL!
ReplyDeleteloved it!!
ReplyDeleteLike the voice, like the puzzles, like the concept, don't like the physics.
ReplyDeleteIt's a major problem with Flash platformers: it may work OK on your computer but the timing is slightly off on mine and it's virtually unplayable.
BTW the voice is sampled, not synth'd. It's a real voice, but put together out of pieces.
that was adorable
ReplyDeletepum tok dart game.HE He I made pants
ReplyDeleteI thought this game was really good. Original, too.
ReplyDeleteseriously?? I ate a bit?? Great end:) i really was laughing over 2 minutes long.
ReplyDeletei'm so happy that i FINALLY got it. i tryed it so often.
omg love it:) who's the voice? what's his name? beat it like 5 times already! :D
