ugly duckling 2
A new point and click exercise by Minoto has arrived: ugly duckling 2.
Wow, that's it? I think that our hero Minoto has lost his muse, his spark...his raison d'etre. I hope that he finds inspiration again, someday. I miss his odd descriptors of the inventory items...the quirky poetic endings. I had hope when I saw that he called the electrical wire a short sword, but alas...it was a short-lived glimpse of the good old days. Ah, Minoto. Come back to us!
Maybe Minoto's getting tired of all the criticism? He does have a life besides providing free games for us. I'm just glad to have my weekly dose of nonsense-fun.
@ Lizzie! I miss the descriptions too! Who could ever forget "It is an apple that has failed though tried to be swallowed by the snake." from Just Graduation 2? Or the epic diolouge in the Monkey and Secret Army games where the monkey asks "Are you the true culprit?"
I am totally with anna in spain (even being in switzerland): I am so very very grateful for anything that Minoto will provide to Bart and Bart to me. I say thank you for these presents, my friends.
I guess I'm the only one stuck - after getting the dirty person and orange juice, don't know what to do with the scene with car driving thru - Humble Minoto Fan
@anonymous: Take the dirty person to the first scene and put him on the chair. Fox will wash him. Then use the button and wire (called "sword") on the control box.
I enjoyed that, as I enjoy all Minoto games. But, it does seem like someone different is doing the Minoto games now. They're nothing like they were when I first started playing them.
The funny descriptions are still available in the Japanese version, maybe he felt that people were laughing at his Google English translations so he left them out?
Happy days, when Minoto wrote: "the driver is on the driver seat". (for the forgiving ones, it was a screwdriver on a car driver seat). We want those days back again

First! Good game, but a bit short.
Minoto's loosing it :( And he didn't even have it from the start!!
Uncharacteristically short! XP
A wire is a "sword"????
It was too short and easy. :(
PLEASE GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER, MINOTO
Disappointingly short. Gutted!

I hate the way the items are just given to you. Lazy.
WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU, MINOTO!
too short and to esay.... a shame

Wow. That was the SHORTEST minoto game yet! And it *almost* made sense!

short,nice and easy ;)
A bit short...
Is that it?! -_________-
too fast!!!
This made way too much sense and was really short. Is the same person making these anymore or is it someone else?
short and sweet and easy
I look forward to my Minoto "fix" and will take whatever's on offer. Thanks Min (& Bart) x
