Great game! I'm definitely going to play this one with my son - he's seven - but I've enjoyed playing through myself just now. The difficulty is beautifully scaled so that you experience some success on your shell-collecting mission quickly and have a very clear idea on what you're trying to do. I found the character of Barry really endearing and was rooting for him right from the start. The graphics give the player a nice sense of the scene and the writing is well-judged to offer some smiles but keep everything simple for beginners too. The character switching was a very neat twist which I enjoyed. This game has definitely made me much more interested in Adventuron because it was such a user-friendly and cute experience. Congratulations to the author.
Thanks so much for playing and for your kind comments - that's lovely to hear!
Enjoyed the POV switching! Looks like I’ll have to get to the series since the duo seems like a fun bunch.
Thanks for playing! 'Barry Basic and the Quick Escape' is fairly similar (but with character switching right from the start) if you want to see more of Barry and Tony.
This was very cute, and the switch of characters was interesting! Made for fun puzzles (though I struggled a bit just before getting shell 5 😅). I'm going to try the other Barry Basic instalments next :)
Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed!
