Prodly the Puffin

Authors:Jim Crawford and Craig Timpany
Genres:Adaptation>Cartoon
Humor>Satire
Surreal
Released:2000
Review:

A work spoofing a not too widely known parody on a cartoon that "has long faded into obscurity". In spite of its second-hand (or, rather, third-hand) nature, Prodly the Puffin is a fairly solidly done game. One of its memorable characteristics is the intense use of cartoon logic, though, again, it certainly isn't the first game that does this kind of thing. Considering that it's quite short, and thus won't take too much of your time, you probably should give it a try; just don't be too exigent.

Rating: ****
