ESRB Rating:E - Everyone
My Rating:Everyone
Genre:Point and Click adventure
Fun-O-Meter:3 out of 5 Stars
Summary:This point and click adventure started when Axel decided to take a long winter's nap with his faithful dog, Pixel. When he awoke, a giant red rat caused a huge icicle to fall and crush his home before scurrying away with a magical key. Now Axel and Pixel must track down the monster rat and retrieve the magic key before the Ice Giant causes the dream world to become frozen over in a permanent winter!

Brief thoughts:This is a very clean game, as the worst it has to offer is some slapstick.

Today's Featured Glossary Entry

Roguelike
A Roguelike is just that - it's a game like Rogue. Rogue is credited for being one of the first fantasy role playing games to generate its levels randomly, creating a unique world for players to explore every time they played.

Modern Roguelikes tend to have many more features than the original Rogue, but the overall spirit is there. In fact, it's very possible that modern Roguelikes will actually resemble Nethack - a much more complex Roguelike from gaming's early days - than Rogue.
