Deceptively brilliant!
It looks utterly terrible. The graphics are crayons on construction paper scribbled by a second-grader with only a rudimentary sense of style, and from the screenshots a lot of you will be likely to pass this by. Dont. Really. Because underneath that poorly-drawn exterior is a game whose almost ridiculous attention to detail and absurdist humour make this a game so surprisingly and thoroughly enjoyable that youll be playing it it repeatedly, and at the same time wondering why. The graphics are deliberately bad; they serve as a stark contrast to a game where every every action is controlled by you. You have to grab the gas pedal with your paw and push down to accelerate, or on the brake to stop; grab fish and berries and feed the bears face with them (literally bring them to the bears mouth), grab nuisances like bees and badgers and toss them out of the car, grab and shift the shifter to drive in reverse, grab the wheel and turn to turn the car, and more. Theres actually a physics engine involved here, and some unexpected surprises. You can grab a rock to weigh down the gas pedal if you like, for example, in case youre sick of constantly taking your paw off the wheel to accelerate.
Dont judge the game by its screenshots, or youll miss out on a brilliant sleeper hit.
