Review: I more or less described how this game works in my review of its sequels. It’s a near-perfect puzzle game. Sadly, they couldn’t help themselves but create one level late in the game that requires dexterity and perfect play control to beat. I was able to do it, but only after twenty to thirty attempts. Why it was dumped in a game that required virtually no hand-eye coordination at all is puzzling. Still, Adventures of Lolo is as about as sure-fire you can get for puzzle lovers.
Great puzzle game. I think I mentioned in the 2&3 review about this damn level. Multiple gamepads, keyboard…could not get past that.
I remember that level, really wish I didn’t.
