Joe is a Janitor in a corporation. He becomes the world saviour against his own will when he meets a dying scientist, Dr Lambert, who gives him a solar-powered time machine to go to the future and bend the course of history on Planet Earth.
The game is short and not difficult, except for a few points in which I found myself stuck. So I looked for a cheat online :O. But the story, the dialogues, the character and the mood of the game are really absorbing. The time travel factor is what makes the game unique, switching between present and future to collect objects and access places that otherwise you (Joe) can't.
The game has just five actions, walk, run, take and use, and dialogues, which are all done by tapping your screen. So there is no difficulty in learning how to do that, unless you don't have fingers in your hands. Ha! Moreover, the game was fully responsive to touch in my table, so the whole experience was very smooth.
One the things that I enjoyed the most in the game was... the dialogues. Truly hilarious, as well as some of the comments you get when you touch or tap any of the objects on the screen. I also fancy our hero Joe, who looks like a thinned out version of Tom Sellecks. Rescue me, my man.
The first part is free, totally free, then you have to pay for the second episode if you want it. Nobody forces you, but you will want it, guaranteed. You don't want to end the game half way the story, right? I paid 6+ bucks for some hours of entertainment. That is cheaper than a movie or my daily coffees.
The main downsides of the game are, to me, the lack of voice speech, the fact that you just see the character moving (when he uses tools, they are not seen in his hands; when he goes down a rope, you don't see him climbing down, etc.). Besides, my tablet got totally frozen a couple of times and I had to reboot it.
One of those games to do in a lazy weekend, sickie day or during your lunch break.
