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:
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!
Feel free to disagree with the panel's rating, and please don't be offended if you think your game has been underrated!

(Why has my game been rated 1 cup?)

Close window
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

Hey! If you got about 5-10 minutes, then come and help an adventurer to prepare for a mysterious trip to the Land of the White Elephants. A Prelude to an Adventure is a little interactive experience with light puzzle elements, tons of animations and catchy music. Have fun!

AGS Panel Review

"A short and beautifully illustrated feel-good experience."

8 people commented on this game (newest first):

A tiny and short game with very bad graphic.
I didn't like this terrible graphic style.
But the gameplay was ok.

I liked it a lot! The graphics and animations are just lovely. I hope it's really the prelude to a longer story!

Such a cute game. Gameplay is short, but there are some very nice animations/scenery that make up for it.

Loved it! Only wish there were more! Graphics, animations, the simple symbol-dialogue, music, all worked very, very well together and made me want to know more about this world and characters.

a beautiful game but way too short (as the name implies already)

Interesting how graphics replace dialogs and it works well. I'd love to see more of this.
