This is a short game based on the character Shiversword the Bard from Sir Loin 2. It is much the same format. You play Shiversword trying to fulfil his destiny to become a world famous bard.
I enjoyed this game just as much as Shiversword 2: The Magic Harp. It is the type of family-friendly, good-humoured game that I enjoy, and is set at a challenge level that that suits me. In particular, there are no dead ends, no way to die during the game, and enough comments to cover the trickier puzzles. Like Shiversword 2, it is essentially a 5-star game, but with so many rough edges it has to lose a star. It's still good fun, however!
The storyline was good but i couldn't work out many of the pieces I needed to continue. I never got an invitation, I couldn't cut anything, for cat guts and for mattress straw. I couldn't get socks. I couldn't find the mask. There really should be a link to the walkthrough. I finally just gave up because I simply couldn't figure out how to proceed.
loved this one! so much fun and I only needed to revert to hints from the comments a couple times. the cat vomit took me forever, but I had no trouble with getting the canary back into the cage, although it seemed like others did. I think I was tired of carrying all those things around with me that it just made sense at that point, lol. again, your map/world is a great size, easily navigable, and the puzzles were challenging but not impossible. although I will admit, at first when I found out I'd need cat gut I thought I might have to kill the cat and thought you a bit cruel. ;) you keep getting better and better at these, I hope you make more games soon! x
Okay, I feel really stupid but I have finished the game now. Didn't make enough at the party to get mama chocolates :( And I don't know why my third star was also silver, but I looooove this game.
