Certainly not a bad game, but my GOD the price!! 20 dollars is insane for how little game there is here. It is basically an adventure/RPG hybrid, with combat resembling the Mario and Luigi DS games. Funny, somtimes fun, but waaaaay too short and too expensive to really recommend.

It was fun for awhile, but it wasn't anywhere near worth the cost. It was far too short, and repetitive. Also, it wasn't hard at all. There was no challenge pushing you forward. The ending was also so lame. It almost seemed like it was going to get better and then WHAM! sequel time. Pass on this expensive game and its sequel and stick to reading the webcomics.
