How bizarre.

Great art, but I can't detect the actual game. I feel like I'm just clicking on random parts of the art with no reason or rhyme.

Awesome. I just got all eight Makibishi balls and a magical dragon appeared with a guy in his mouth.

This is a game.

I have this wild boar running up and down a big tree branch and it won't stop. Bah. Another click-around-and-you-might-stumble-across-something-that-works game.

there's 1 ninja per sub-world I think. clicking on stuff in the right order sets off events which cause the ninja to be revealed.

Yeah, I saw this a day or so ago and totally could not make heads or tails of it in any meaningful way. But yow, pretty!

Gives you how long it took you once you complete the game. Took an hour and four minutes for me... D rank. Keep clicking.

tab key can help find hotspots (a bit).

47 minutes, rank D... I had the most trouble with the underground level.

These sorts of games always seem to me like a radical deconstruction of the sorts of Lucasfilm adventure games (Maniac Mansion, Zak McKraken, Monkey Island, etc.) I'd play as a kid. The play mechanics are the same, but these search-until-you-randomly-click-on-something do away with any notions of logic or narrative --- logic or narrative that, in hindsight, wasn't present in those Lucasfilm games to begin with.

Remember the Mayan pyramid maze in Zak McKraken? Pure evil!
