The AGS Panel is a team of AGS forum veterans who play all of the games here, and give them
ratings from one to five cups. The rating system is as follows:
Feel free to disagree with the panel's rating, and please don't be offended if you
think your game has been under-rated!
| 1 Cup | Not serious entertainment |
| 2 Cups | A reasonable game, worth a try |
| 3 Cups | A good game, worth playing |
| 4 Cups | A great game, well worth your time |
| 5 Cups | An outstanding, must-play game! |
If your game has been rated 1 cup, please don't be offended! It's common
for your first game release to get a 1-cup rating, due to the game having
a lack of polish and flair -- which is understandable, because you're just
getting started!
Please understand that the main purpose of the ratings is to help potential game players find high quality, bug-free games to play. You've probably learnt a lot about AGS as a result of making your first game -- so why not use that knowledge to start afresh, and do even better with your next game!

About this game
Well, isn't that just TYPICAL! You get one cheesy magician mad and the next thing you know, you've been transported to another dimension.All Alexander Zale wants now is to start his own circus, exploit a few innocent people and avoid being some sort of fate-driven hero. Yeah, damn that fate and its crazy ideas! We'll show it, won't we?

Great Game! Play it!
This has to be one of the funniest adventure games I have played. And I have played quite a few very funny games. It has very good graphics, great puzzles and an unusual story. The characters are very interesting and unusual. The player character is very unusual. In fact he is almost unlikable. Almost. In my opinion the author of the game did a great job of pushing the player character's arrogant attitude to the limit without taking it over it. He isn't a likable character but you don't hate him either. At least I didn't. He is very funny. Of course, the fact that this game is pure farce helps. The only fault I could find with this game is, as has been mentioned, some of the exits are hard to find.

I hope this isn't a double post. If so, then I am sorry.
I loved this game. The jokes, and ironic humor was well done. I even enjoyed a good laugh at the credits. You have great talent. I just wish it lasted longer.
If you haven't played this game yet, then do yourself a favor, and download it A.S.A.P.

One of the most humourous adventures ever! A perfectly whole-balanced game, with a lot of unexpected situations, and, moreover, a fabulous Monkey Island feeling!

Wow, what an outstandingly original plot!
Really loved your game, Kinoko, though I am still waiting to see the circus' first show...
You're surely not interested in me commenting on that one bad point there is, as there might have been 23362 people yet who have pointed it out, but...it's really hard to find the exits sometimes...
But nevermind, this was REALLY, really a great playing experience.

Finally got around to finishing this game, and it's hilarious and excellent and imaginative. And don't skip the end credits!

Great graphics and the Alexander was one of the best main characters I've ever seen in an adventuregame. The game's only drawback was the too easy puzzles which consisted mostly of finding object A and giving it to person B, thus getting object C and so forth.

wow, awesome game. there's just one small thing that I didn't like: the room areas that took you to another room were pretty small and their name wasn't displayed, so sometimes I had to look for them by clicking every inch of the screen.
but that game is really cool, nice jokes, great graphics, congratulations!

Hehe, very cool game. Keep it up!

Awesome game! I haven't laughed so much at a game's diaglogue in years. The graphics are very similar to LucasArts style and very well done. I loved all the digs that were taken at various things.

Play it, You won't be dissapionted.

This game is how I found AGS, actually! I downloaded it from HotU because I thought it sounded really cool and I was not disappointed! A very funny and fun game! Though I do wish it were longer!

I liked it very much. Another quality AGS game. I do feel it needed more plish, especially with the graphics. Still a great game, and I reccomend it.

Great experience, amazing gameplay, interesting characters. A must play.

One of my all-time-ags-favourites, great in atmosphere, great humour and a storyline told in a very professional way. And it was ALL done by Rebecca, she must be a genius! :)

Absolutely brilliant game.........everytime I thought I had finished it, I was just whizzed to another place!
2004-04-15 12:44:23 by Jane
Th exits are a bit hard to fine at times and several interactions are missing, but the well-written dialogue and enjoyable environment more than make up for this game's minor shortcomings.
