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

Bartolomeo is reading his favourite author's poetry, Ponte di Sughero, when suddenly he finds a wounded man in his house. Could it be? Could that man be Ponte di Sughero himself?
(probably not, as the theme of the game jam was "A Delusion")

Made in two weeks for the Adventure Game Challenge.

AGS Panel Review

"Limited in gameplay, but exceptional in art and presentation."

5 people commented on this game (newest first):

Visually stunning, story is short, light and overall nice, gamplay and puzzles are extremely basic. Overall feels more like an interactive comic than a game - which can be positive, depending on the expectations

Worth playing for a 10 minutes distraction in any case

I did rather enjoy this quaint little adventure. The title sort of gives the game away but then the game only lasts for about 15 minutes overall.

Personal Play Status: Completed
Playing Time: 15 min

A very short game with nearly none-existend puzzles (of the collect stuff variant), unfortunately.

The graphics, simple black lines, work very well and are a highlight for me. They are also very clean and clear, making it nearly impossible to miss a hotspot.

The story is nice, but not particulary remarkable, though well-written.

I would recomand it for a quick twenty minutes play. It shows potential. I wish it had been longer.

Very short, very beautiful, very funny. You won't waste your time playing this one.

A simple little game with *phenomenal* art! I mean it: it looks like a comic-book (and probably was drawn on paper with ink).
Dialogues are funny, puzzles extremely simple: grab your chance to help your favourite Italian poet from certain death, and have some fun while doing it!
