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!

AGS Panel Review

"Exceptionally great game on all accounts. The graphics, writing and characters are all outstanding, the music adds to the atmosphere and the puzzles are well integrated into the story."

I created an account just to vote for this game. It's an absolute MASTERPIECE!

The game is short but exists in an extremely well-developed and coherent imaginary world. The plot has nothing to envy to the best thrillers and regularly manages to surprise you.

What an amazingly wonderful gorgeous beautiful masterpiece, it even has a secret ending - must play!

The game is another masterpiece from the creator of Witch's Lullaby, that's it.

Amazing storytelling and worldbuilding, gorgeous art and outstanding soundtrack.

Superlatives have not been invented to describe this masterpiece of the game-developers' craft. Everything is beautiful and brilliant, but for me the "stand-outs" are the unusual yet intricate storyline and Mother Tiabata, probably the best developed NPC ever. Play this and enjoy!

Fantastic. The art and music are amazing and the lore of the setting and story go very deep even though the game is not long. The puzzles are logical and not frustrating. Really great fun with a fascinating story. Highly recommend.

It is great when you play a game that you feel will be a classic that people will be playing and talking about for years. I highly, highly recommend this!
