Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
47 of 161 sampled reviews raised it
The story is so funny and how you'll suspect almost everyone you meet.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
29 of 161 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics aren't anything to write home about, but there is a commendable amount of detail that was put into the environments and characters.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
20 of 161 sampled reviews raised it
In addition to the colorful duo, the whole game further features an interesting gameplay mechanic: Unlike other point & click adventures, Detective Case and Clown Bot doesn’t bring the typical “use object X with object Y” construct into play, but instead all collected thingamabobs are handled as pieces of evidence.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
16 of 161 sampled reviews raised it
The dynamic between the two heroes is certainly a good foundation that I would like to see more off in the future, most of the pixel art is lovely, and the soundtrack is phenomenal.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
8 of 161 sampled reviews raised it
Although its puzzles are not directly difficult, they are very reasonable, done in a nice way and their "lower difficulty" does not diminish fun player experiences.
