Lots of fun, just needs a tune-up – Dog Mendonca Review

I agree with the other reviewers that some of the controls are a bit clunky or slow (for example, the characters shouldn't have to walk all the way across a room to change settings). However, I'm not bothered by the lack of a tutorial; the gameplay, inventory management, etc. will be familiar to anyone who has played a few "point and click" old school adventure games. I thought the graphics and voice acting were terrific, and the storyline and script were entertaining and novel. I saw influences from Grim Fandango, Phoenix Wright/Ace Attorney, the Blackwell series, and Sam and Max: think "horror detective" with a heavy dose of humor. I was thrilled to see a true adventure game appear among the standard AppStore offerings of Match 3, Angry Bird, and Sims spinoffs, particularly when most of the games designated as "adventure" are endless hidden object puzzles. I'd like to see the developers put out a release that addresses the glitches and minor flaws described by the other reviewers,because then this would truly be a 5 star game .
