Dropsy

10/10 Trippy, sweet, scary, and cute. Wonderful art style and one of my favorite soundtracks.

I initially checked this game out/had it on my wishlist after playing Hypnospace Outlaw, and just had to know what else the creator(s) had done since it was such an original piece of work - genuine art. I came across Dropsy. This game is also a pretty original piece of work. Awesome art, music ranging from goofy and zany, to nice grooves and jams. The story is basically non-existent, but I don't think that makes or breaks games. This is a cute point and click adventure game (and sometimes not so cute and out of this world), wholly dependent on visuals to find items - there are no puzzles/deductions. The game itself is enjoyable, nothing too crazy in terms of gameplay. The one BIG detriment this game has is it is riddled with bugs. I unfortunately was unable to 100% my file due to one of the items I found not registering and unable to be reloaded back onto the map. I didn't catch it in time (Page 5). There were a couple other bugs with the mouse sequences and swapping to Dropsy where it would have your whole cast disappear and break the scene, for example. Achievements don't load in when you actually achieve them and require game restarts for whatever reason. Normally, these bugs would irk me, but for a small indie project like this that has some great imagination put into it, I would let it slide. Neat game. Give this a shot. Then go play Hypnospace Outlaw for a real masterpiece.

the most intensely charmed I have been by a game in years and it's the grotesque clown. Story's pretty much nonexistent but great music and a stoner lesbian so it evens out it my book
