This game is really good. It's not Mario World, the jumps are pretty easy and players can't die. Great deal of replayability because there are 140 different parties you can take through the cave. If the party changes the Cave changes too so that the puzzles for those guys are available. Great graphics and overall pleasant moods.

I played this game for the first time as a young kid on xbox 360 and found myself seeking it out again over and over for years. This game is very fun and memorable with a lot of replay value and also funny! One of my favorites.

Wonderful, beautiful, and humorous game about 7 individuals (I guess technically 8) with questionable pasts and personalities. Comedy is ever-present both in dialogue (well, mostly monologue) and the environment, with little details here and there, and I find that the best thing about the game. The puzzles are pretty good too, all of them being logical. It may take a while, but nothing's impossible to figure out without Google. 100%-able in like 16 hours. Some of the achievements are sort of hidden.

i played this a lot when i was younger, and going back to it was a total blast! the puzzles are engaging enough to where on repeat playthroughs you won't get bored (mostly, there's like one segment i don't like), and there are a lot of good jokes, details, and characters! the artstyle is one of my favorites because of how specific and unique it is, and the character animations are super cool as well. personally i think it's worth the money, but you can wait for it to go on sale if you think it's too expensive as is (which is how i got it). either way i completely recommend this game :D

Challenging puzzles, but not difficult to do. Some easy, some not. The animations are really fun, and graphics and controls work really well. I wish they'd make a sequal!
