I love these Rita James games! They are so much fun, with hilarious cutscenes throughout the games.
The only negative is the graphics quality. It's a bit fuzzy and hard to see things sometimes. But I would rather play a fun game like this one with lesser graphics than a "pretty" game that is boring!
We need more Rita and Marbles adventures!!!!
I recommend this game!

This is a really good game. If you like easy games that hold your hand all the way through, then this may not be for you! It is a challenging game, and I had to use the hint button many times and a walkthrough several times.
It has a unique sci-fi storyline with puzzles and game play I have never seen before. The interactive hidden object scenes were especially creative. It has alternate endings so you could play it again and choose differently.
This was a very good effort by this developer. The graphics were beautiful. The one song that played over and over was nice, but hearing it 100 times was a bit much. The voice acting was terrible. I couldn't tell if it was a computer or real people.
The play style is very open - you wander around finding puzzles you can't tackle until way later on, and picking up objects you're trying to remember where to use them because there are so many places to go to. A lot of back and forth in this game. But I will say I kinda liked that. So many games nowadays hold your hand all the way through it. Not this one. I used the hint button a lot, but it would only help if you were in the right location.
I liked the ending - it wasn't typical.
That may sound like a lot of negatives, but I did really enjoy playing this game. The 5 stars is for a great effort and a slightly different game than most.
I recommend this game!

I loved this game! The story and cut scenes were funny. I really liked Marbles the one-eyed monkey.
The graphics aren't as good as most other, recent games, but I would rather play a fun game like this than another one of those gorgeous looking, boring ones!
I loved this game. It wasn't perfect, but was pretty close for me. The graphics looked great, especially in the hidden object scenes, which were nicely constructed. Most scenes had interactive things to do, including puzzles - some of which were good enough to be stand alone puzzles!
I liked that there wasn't a lot of hand holding, like most other games. Although, I did have to consult the walkthru for the last puzzle, since there wasn't a skip for it.
Overall, this was extremely fun to play. I highly recommend it, and can't wait for more from this developer!
The graphics were beautiful. I liked the little extras like the traffic going by in the background of the gas station scene. The game play was good. Most of the puzzles were easy to moderate in difficulty. The storyline was interesting and nicely done.
The ending was a bit abrupt though. I see this with a lot of games. Why do developers do that?!
I highly recommend this game, well worth the money!
The graphics were nice, as well as the game play. Some parts were hard to figure out (I had to use a walk thru several times). There were some unique parts - the magic hat was inventive.
I did find it annoyingly easy to accidentally move between screens.
Overall, this game is worth playing, although it is a tad on the short side.
