Today's Google Doodle is a point n' click!

I didn't check what technology they used (HTML5?) but it's quite impressive.

[Trapezoid]

I'm just getting the regular logo.

I made a guess that a Monsieur wouldn't use the American Google, and turns out I was right!

I liked the Stanislaw Lem adventure game Doodle better.
But this one is pretty good for a Doodle, if confusing.

I liked it. What do you need the feather for?

Umm, it is obvious enough that I think you probably are far away from being able to use it. You need the grow juice first.

[Eric]

Perhaps Mati encountered a bug like I did. When I entered the place where the feather would have been used, the last saucer part was just lying on the ground, and I didn't have to do anything to get it.

[kaput]

So many bugs. Whatever, it's not even fun.

[Ryan Timothy B]

I encountered the same bug. I got the feather, then rang the doorbell, then noticed the part laying on the ground.

It was fun overall for such a quick game. Google is awesome.

Nice touch from google. The sound stuttered a bit but it was nice.

[kaput]

I was a bit harsh about it, it's really not that bad actually    & kudos to Google for throwing some random fun our way every couple of weeks.

There have been AGS games that have been worse.

[kaput]

Google hires professionals on a high salary it's hardly comparable. Come on...

[wisnoskij]

High salaries reduce creativity and technical skill. There has been studies.

And if I were going to blame anyone, I would blame browser programmers/people who use old browsers or anything other than Chrome. It worked perfectly for me on Chrome.

[kaput]

I agree, Chrome is certainly the best in terms of performance. Used to be Firefox, but then Google went fox hunting.

What I meant when I said it's hardly comparable is that, whilst most AGS games are made by amateur dev's this one was created by the 'pro's' at Google.

Like I say, the game isn't all that bad! Although, it's really more of a novelty than a game.

Yeah, me too. I was a little disappointed, I felt like I missed a stage or 5.

[m0ds]

Nice! Funny alien Nice little Roswell anniversary game or such. All I had to do was ring the doorbell and then walk over to get the last part too. Did anyone execute this move, is it for realz? Hehe

Cute. No bugs for me luckily.

I hadn't seen the StanisŠ‚aw Lem wisnoskij mentioned seems more of a Samorost style game: http://www.google.com/logos/lem/

I didn't bother linking "my" Google because I thought "why would they do something about Roswell just for France?"
