When I play this game, I feel like I fully understand the world in a way that would get me sent to a mental institution.
Really intense game, full of mini-puzzles and hilarious moments. McPixel does remind me a bit of the Henry Stickmin games, where the failiures are as rewarding as successes, but does stand on it's own thanks to the rapid pace and unique brand of humor.
