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

"MAGS entry full of sea lore. The player needs to find superstitions and traditions and try to make the wind blow again. The limited area and crew of the ship is made well use of, filling the game with well-made puzzles. Lacks a bit polish, but still well worth playing."

3 people commented on this game (newest first):

I liked this game a lot. The puzzles are well thought out, and I learned new stuff about sea folklore. I found it hilarious that most "rules" for behaviour is about limiting the wind, but here I got to act the exact opposite. I wouldn't mind playing more games with this crew either.

Becalmed story is quite simple: your ship is still at sea and you have to conjure something up to make the wind blow again.

I liked the past productions of the author (immersive story and characters), and I was expecting more of it. This instead takes immediately a different turn, the one of a puzzle-fest.

If you like inventory challanges you will find a lot to like: use everythin on everything, some minor pixel hunts, characters that will send you to do their chores and a modicum of backtracking.

PC speed is on the slow side, as slowish are transitions and feedback for your actions, so it can be a bit unnerving at times.

My suggestion is to play this while having the Hints&Tips thread open. It is a solid production and if you like puzzles, this for sure is a game for you!
