Lost in Play Switch NSP Free Download GAMESPACK.NET Graphic adventures can’t seem to settle themselves. Most new games seem to have to start at first principles and decide on their own verbs, loops, control scheme, puzzle types, difficulty, hint system… and it feels like there are more misses than hits. Which makes it all the more impressive that developer Happy Juice Games has come up with something that’s coherent, original, and a delight from start to finish. Lost in Play, the first solo game from the Tel Aviv-based studio, has many of the hallmarks of golden-age point-and-click adventures: a cartoon style, humorously animated protagonists, item-based puzzles, and curiosity-piquing 2D scenes serving as both play space and reward for clearing the previous area. However, it also shakes off many of the classic bugbears: pixel hunting is impossible because you’re moving a character, not a cursor; using no words in the game leaves the hint system to be helpful but not too transparent; there’s very little backtracking because environments are kept small and the time in them is brief; and wacky dream logic is completely excused because you’re playing in children’s imaginations.

These are not necessarily new inventions, but they’re brought together very skilfully, making for a great player experience that avoids common minor irritations. If you’ve ever played a game where a character can’t reach something and you just think, “Well just stretch!”, Lost in Play hears you: the improvised ladder is only ever just barely high enough, and the kids get on their tip-toes to reach what you want. When you traverse four screens of a wide-open expanse, there are only two screens on the way back – Lost in Play simply won’t let you get bored. There’s constant novelty in every aspect of the game. Puzzles aren’t just the same idea arriving over and over in new clothes; the item- and environment–based puzzles increase in complexity, at one point arriving at a hilarious mash-up of adventure game dependency chart and heist movie planning montage. On top of those core overworld puzzles, there are regular break-outs into separate little games: a board game against a seagull; a monster-escaping logic test; a physics-based skill challenge. Since you’re using a controller, there are brief button-based activities like piloting a vehicle or pumping a power gauge.

A mysterious animated puzzle adventure.

The difficulty curve is impressively smooth – and although the word-free gameplay and funny animations are very kid-friendly, the trickier minigames will have grown-ups scratching their heads. Sound design is excellent from the second the game loads into an irresistibly playful finger-clicking a capella and throughout the endearing gibberish spoken by everyone in the game – which is well acted despite being nonsense. The variety of art and animation seems endless, with almost every action having a detailed and playful special sequence in a way golden-age adventure games could never have done. You know when a game instantly charms the socks off you the moment you first clap eyes on it? Point and click puzzler Lost In Play is one of those games for me. Its vibrant cartoon visuals immediately caught my attention when I first sampled its Steam Next Fest demo earlier in the year, and I’m happy to report that the full game, out today, is just as captivating as it was back then. It tells the tale of Toto and Gal. Kamikaze Veggies Switch NSP

a pair of rambunctious siblings who end up far from home after getting lost inside a fantasy world of their own imagining. If they don’t find a way back before nightfall, though, they’ll be stuck there forever. A classic kids adventure story, in other words, but one that really relishes in its own sense of playfulness. Over the course of their four-odd hour adventure, they’ll meet monster fighting frogs in a dark forest, board game-playing seagulls on the high seas, orc mechanics in a vast desert and even a heavy-metal loving sheep on a floating island in the sky as they make their way home to their messy childhood bedroom. It all makes for some memorable puzzling backdrops, but be warned: if you’re planning to play this with little ones, then you’ll definitely need a puzzle savvy adult in the mix, as some of its brainteasers aren’t quite as child-friendly as you might expect. For the most part, Lost In Play is typical adventure game fare. As you move Toto and Gal through its whimsical mishmash of folkloric landscapes, you’ll be interacting with the environment and its colourful cast of characters to collect all manner of puzzle objects.

Filled with magical and magnificent creatures.

A frog might need a can opener to eat his tasty, tinned fly food, for example, while a pesky goblin might want you to collect four rubber ducks for reasons before he’ll agree to let you up on his giant stork in an attempt to fly you home. Interaction points are all clearly marked up as you move your mouse across the screen, although surprisingly, it actually felt more natural to play with a gamepad here (which is also the recommended input from the developers, too). Whatever your preferred interaction method is, though, clicking on these points will help you start piecing together what everyone needs. Characters all talk in the same nonsensical gibberish in Lost In Play (which is surprisingly pleasing on the ears, all things considered), but you’ll be glad to hear that every request is also accompanied by simple pictorial symbols of the item in question. This means you’re never left wondering what you need to do next, or which object goes where, allowing the game to elegantly side-step that age-old adventure game snag of throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks.

It also keeping things nice and straightforward for any young ‘uns who might be playing, too. But it’s not all just matching square pegs with square holes in Lost In Play. In order to obtain certain items, you’ll also need to complete some Professor Layton-style logic puzzles first, whether that’s herding sheep into specific tile squares, or outwitting a monster by leading it through a maze. Most are relatively straightforward, especially when prefaced with their own individual tutorial, but some remain a little hazy in their presentation, and the game’s reliance on pictures over text didn’t always succeed in conveying some of its finer nuances. There’s also an entire card game toward the end of Toto and Gal’s adventure that just chucks you straight in without any explanation whatsoever. To their credit, developers Happy Juice Games provide players with plenty of tools to help in moments of crisis – in addition to an info button acting as an always accessible tutorial reminder of how puzzles work, there’s also a hint button you can call upon at any time, and an instant reset option if you end up going wrong or see yourself failing to win a game of checkers against a particularly wily forest imp, for example.

Play cards with goblins, build a dragon, and teach a sheep how to fly

And in fairness, on the handful of occasions where I did get stumped, the hint button was usually enough to point me in the right direction. But it did also make me wonder how kids might fare in the same situation – especially if they don’t have a handy adult playing alongside them. Lost in Play is a journey through childhood imagination with thoughtfully crafted puzzles and colorful characters. Play as a brother and sister duo on an adventure to find their way back home. Between reality and fantasy, the siblings explore the enchanted forest of a horned beast, start a rebellion in a goblin village, and help a team of frogs free a sword from a stone. The bizarre and dreamlike world of Lost in Play is filled with mystery, unique puzzles, and mini-games. Challenge a pirate seagull to a game of clicking crabs, serve magical tea to a royal toad, and collect pieces to build a flying machine. Be a part of this modern point & click game that will reward your curiosity and leave you excited for the next piece of story.

From what seems like a normal morning at home to a typical afternoon at the park, you’ll soon find yourself on a whirlwind quest as you sneak into a goblin castle, explore ancient ruins, and soar atop a giant stork. Lost in Play takes you on a nostalgic roller-coaster! With a hand-crafted style similar to animated shows from childhood, Lost in Play is a story meant for all. Whether you’re seeking wholesome delight or just a good time, the family can enjoy this story together. That’s probably the easiest way to describe this endearing puzzle adventure game inspired by all those spirited cartoons we watched as kids. But, behind the wholesomeness lies mischief, whimsy and above all playfulness. The playful fancy permeates everything from the frisky visual style and charming animation to quite memorable music, equally quirky and mysterious, to whimsical sound design and funny nonsensical speech. Not to mention, the wacky childlike humour, crude but cute, made me laugh out loud quite a few times with its genuine, unabashed directness, free of any pretense. Simply disarming! I caught myself constantly grinning from ear to ear while playing this. Pure, unadulterated joy! It’s a kitten with a yarn, a child with a… Oooohhh, shiny!!!

It’s a nostalgia trip not out of some retro fad, but because it captures the essence of play. It’s nostalgic simply because it made me remember what it felt like when I was a child. When the whole world um, my home was my playground, and all the everyday, boring, mundane things would become portals into magical and extraordinary by the sheer boldness of limitless creative imagination. It’s as natural as breathing to see a washing machine tab become the belly of a giant fish, a sister with a cardboard box transform into a monster, and your own grandpa as a helpful fairy guiding you along this wayward, capricious escapade, helping you come down from a trip. The title Lost in Play may sound a bit generic at first, but it’s never been more apt. The brother and sister duo are literally lost in their imagination that they need a bit of guidance to find their way back (the supper is probably getting cold). That’s it, that’s the story. Oh wait, what about that frog kingdom, green goblins and MacGuffin golden crown? Did we save the world or something? Who cares, it was so much fun. Hopping from chapter to chapter, from one fantastical world to another: running from an angry sister monster, flying a pelican, sailing away, under the sea, venturing into a post-apocalyptic world, into the dragon’s cave.
