Then you may want to give this Polaroid photo to someone else to see if they know anything about the case you're working on. To do actions in this game, you'll have to select the verb, the subject, and then an object that receives the action.įor example, you may need to give Polaroid film to another character so that they can use their camera. To the right of this area is the stash of the character you're controlling at the moment. In the bottom left corner is a box with all of the different interactions you can do with the environment and objects: Open, Close, Give, Pick Up, Look At, Talk To, Push, Pull, and Use. The thing that sets Thimbleweed Park apart from other point-and-click adventure games is its distinctive interaction system. The game also lets you control multiple characters, and you can easily switch between characters by tapping on the character portrait in the upper right corner and then choosing who you want to swap with. Another option is to double-tap-and-hold to have them follow your thumb until you release the screen. To move your characters, just tap on the spot you want them to go to. Fortunately, the story itself is rather interesting, and the characters are all unique and humorous in their own special ways.Ĭontrols in Thimbleweed Park are simple and intuitive. The story is linear, so you can't go out exploring until you've completed whatever needs to be done at that moment in time in the game. There are no levels to go through, and everything transitions seamlessly into each other. Since Thimbleweed Park is a point-and=click adventure game, that means players must go through the story in its entirety from start to finish. So if you love humor, there's plenty of that in Thimbleweed Park. Thimbleweed Park also breaks the fourth dimension, as it pokes fun at itself through character dialogue. There's an atmospheric soundtrack that is rather eerie, fitting in well with the tone and theme of the game. Animations are smooth and fluid, with no lag on my iPhone 7. Despite the pixelation, the game is packed with plenty of fine textures and details, and even has a pseudo-3d effect with the shadows and lighting. If you grew up with the 16-bit games on SNES and SEGA Genesis, then you'll feel right at home. Visually, Thimbleweed Park is beautiful with a retro pixel art style that serves as a nice homage to the classic games of yesteryear.
