Wonderland Adventures

I just briefly played Wonderland Adventures on the 60 minute free trial and was quite sucked into it until I got to a puzzle where I kept frying my "Stinky" character on a set of fire geysers, because I'm not focusing enough on the patterns.

The game has very simple 3D graphics with cute yellow characters that look like little Pac Men (yellow round characters) that can be customized by the user. They also remind me of Zoombinis.

You wind up going on a series of adventures - in the first place, saving groups of young 'Stinkies' by waking them up and leading them out of the caves where they're trapped. Initially there are simple 'step on the colored square and open the colored gate' puzzles, but there's some surprise there, as the square that you think will open up a bridge going one direction actually opens it in another place, where you can then access the trigger you want. You can also use some of the stinkies you're rescuing to stand on triggers to keep some of the gates open.

After the initial "gate" adventures, there were a couple more that had "teleport" like areas where the character got boomeranged to another part of the level. There's really fun sfx and vox here so the character is exclaiming as they are flung around, which is quite entertaining.

So, the graphics not state of the art but the attention paid to gameplay and making the characters fun, is quite good. I would have kept playing had I not been slightly frustrated by the fire puzzle and not wanting to spend my whole free trial there.
