I totally forgot that this was part of the game &#8211; is this the way all those Sierra Online games were?<\/p>\n<p>I like how the puzzles can all be solved in multiple ways. I let the goat out of the pen but that never made any difference because I could get across the bridge by bribing the troll with one of the many treasures. My score wasn&#8217;t optimal but that&#8217;s fine &#8211; I could still complete the game.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand there are things (like the little dwarf stealing your shit) which can cause the game to be un-winnable and you need to save\/restore all the time to avoid that. Not to mention the little walking puzzles where you fall off shit and die all the time.<\/p>\n<p>I like this game &#8211; it&#8217;s short and sweet and although I got stuck and had to get hints a bit I didn&#8217;t feel looking back that the puzzles were illogical or bad. There was some pixel-hunting and some of the puzzles would have been easier if I knew anything about fairy tales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This game is a classic.
