burz-city [browser]
Help Serpentina in her search for a necklace in the futuristic world of Burz-city, a new point and click adventure by Jo99.
It's a good game, but the interaction is not. I find I have to click multiple times to move, or interact, or try mutliple times to get an item to work. The walking between areas is also very slow which gets frustrating.
The cabinet in the bedroom has two parts! So close to each other that the eye cursor doesn't help to notice. I found the code, but took forever to found the other thing. :-D
For those who are complaining about the slow walking and animations, I would like to share my point of view. I feel like this game is an artwork on the first place, and being a game is secondary. The drawings are so beautiful, and there are so many little details on them, if you like this stlye, you don't mind the slow animations, because you have time to admire the surroundings and discover more details. I really enjoyed it! I appretiate this slow, calm game in today's busy, way too fast world. :-) It teaches me some patience. :)
Very sweet game
ReplyDeleteGreat play!
ReplyDeleteWas waiting for jo99 to make another game for years!! So happy to see this

ReplyDeleteFinished, A Good game. But where is the clue for the bed tent hatch? I had to brute force it.

DeleteFreezes during load in my Chrome browser on Windows 11.
ReplyDeleteOh, man, if finally loaded. Took quite a while.
DeleteArt work is fantastic. Game is pretty good. Animations are painful. Needs to move WAY faster between screens.

ReplyDeleteGreat artwork! For me when I double click and hold the character moves fast. Maybe a glitch maybe intended but it's a workaround at least.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this! It did say in the instructions that 'double click = run', I don't know how I've read them but I completely forgot about it
DeleteI am standing in front of the bed.The lock is open, and I can look inside. and now? I have no clue what to do.....
ReplyDelete@isna go back to the cabinet where you found the lock code. There's something else here.
ReplyDeletethank you. This was hard to find.
