AGS Panel Rating

This is a cute and very original game. Despite its small size, it features some nice special effects, and a dialogue that will make you smile.
The puzzles are simple, bordering on rudimentary, and there is a certain amount of running back and forth involved. Furthermore, there is dialogue missing at points where you expect some. Still, for such a short game, this is a remarkable effort.

very lovely game..

Beautiful game! The quasi-dynamic music was my favorite point in this game, but everything is awesome. Too bad it's so short...


By egalotron on 23 July 2008

Good day. I am once again very pleased with the overall enjoyment of this game, especially the swell graphics and the venturesome soundtrack, but nonetheless there is one demerit that still remains:

Due to the lack of the toolbelt, which - as a matter of course - might have contained some heavy equipment designed to confront foes of any kind, it was once again rendered impossible to whip some lunatic alien geek arse.

I sincerely hope this issue will be addressed in the very next of your games.

Yours sincerely,

A very simple and polished game that will make you smile for sure. The graphics for the enviroment are really cute to look at and the music, albeit simple, is superb!


By Jeffers on 6 July 2008

I'm a fan of the graphics, dialogue and easy controls. Unfortunately, the game is too short and lacked substance, and the 'puzzles' couldn't have been more obvious.
Given that it was done in one week I find it fairly impressive. I would love to see another Manboy game, just as long as it plays a little longer and has some more creative puzzles.
