"When life gives you lemons toilets, don't make lemonade _______!"

I must ascend to the sky, said I,
for though the wind blows east and west,
I'm yearning for the path that's best.
Can you assist me on my quest?

From the mind that brought us The Stanley Parable. That is all I need to say.

John De Lancie does a fantastic job narrating this game.

Don't let the cute graphics fool you, the puzzles in this puzzle-platformer range from simple to almost fiendish, and are quite satisfying for an adult to solve.

The premise of this thinly-veiled edutainment title is interesting, but the lack of polish means it is not very fun to play for long in a single stretch. It feels like it belongs in a technology museum where visitors can play around with it for a couple of minutes at a time.

Level design needs more playtesting and adjustments. Controls need more fluidity. Poorly optimised. Needs a much more powerful computer than the screenshots would suggest, especially considering that this game runs on Android tablets.

I have no idea why the developers describe this as a transmedia piece, as there are zero transmedia elements that I can discern. It is, however, a somewhat interesting multimedia art presentation.

Surprisingly delightful for a simple platformer.

This game is well-polished, plays smoothly and has compelling narration.

An excellent example of the kind of charm that can be achieved by an indie developer.

The Night of the Rabbit is a delightful point and click adventure game that I am happy to have played through to the end.

The game starts with a brief but thorough tutorial on using the game interface, clicking on objects, and combining objects within the inventory panel. The in-game hint system (ask the rabbit for guidance) is unfortunately very weak. It only ever repeats the last thing the rabbit asked you to do. However, the game is very good about giving you audio tips if you are on the right track with solving a puzzle.

It tells the story of a 12 year old boy who wants to have an adventure in the woods before the school holidays end. He befriends a number of anthropomorphic characters including mice, hares, a frog, and of course, a rabbit. It reminds me favourably of "Simon the Sorceror" with modern graphics, mostly because the protagonist wants to become a magician.

There is a theme of conservation/saving the environment, but this game is *much* less obnoxious about it than other adventure games I've played.

The graphics are cute, the music is nice and the characters are fun. There is a lot to like here. Recommended.

Cute and simple, but nonetheless an amusing timewaster.
Less strategic and ultimately easier than "World of Goo".

A simple diversion for an afternoon for those who have fond primary school memories of the edutainment title "Oregon Trail".
