Having just recovered from a major computer meltdown, things will be a little while picking up again as I have a deadline to meet by the end of the week. There is unlikely to be any Mr. Smoozles comic strip updates for at least a couple of weeks I’m afraid. I really could have done …
The adventure gaming site GameBoomers has written a review of my game, Mr. Smoozles Goes Nutso. Overall it is a very positive review and I’m pleased with the way it describes the game and picks up on the various aspects of gameplay, story, dialogue, and so forth.
