Flotsam finds himself in strangely surreal places, with a voice talking in his head and a mystery that threatens to slip through the gaps. Find out what puzzle solving is like in the reaches of space (and time?).

Thanks Flotsam,
I appreciate your perspective on my game and I'm please with your positives and think the negatives are fair and will help gamers discern whether or not it's right for them.
As such, I think I'll have a "Gameboomers Review Sale"
Cognitive gamers can now purchase it for $17.99
Non-cognitive gamers will need to add an additional $50.

Flotsam...

Thanks for the review. It has made me think some on whether to buy the game or not, and that is a good thing. Puzzles I love, but story I also love. So where do I go from here? Don't know but I will be reading your review more closely, probably several times before I decide.

Thank you...Jody

I can add, but now I need to find my dictionary.

This is getting even more confusing than my story.
Add $50 if you're non-cognitive.
Add $23.45 if you can't add.
Add $43.21 if you need a dictionary.

Note: According to the review, there is only one save slot. However, there are unlimited saves. The load screen has 'previous' and 'next' controls for moving through the various saves.

Slip Space -- Despite knowing that I'm not a cognitive gamer, I tried to buy the game anonymously, using the "GameBoomers Review Sale" link you provided, and somehow it must have identified me as a non-cognitive gamer, because the link gave me an error message!!!

I bow to your formidable programming and identification skills. lol

I finally used a cached version to purchase the game for $17.99. This saved me (I think) $99.99 off the price that would be appropriate for me -- though I may be overestimating, as I can't subtract either. grin

Downloading as we speak. wave

EDIT: The link is now working again!
