Flibbius McDoogle and the Mysterious Flying Machine

[h2]Ein kleines Abenteuer um den Traum vom Fliegen aus Sicht einer Schildkröte[/h2] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3683412366 Es war einmal ein Schneider, der im schönen Städtchen Ulm lebte. Der träumte vom Fliegen. Und weil er auch Erfinder war bastelte er an Fluggeräten herum. Und bastelte. Und bastelte. Und weil ihn jemand bei seiner öffentlichen Vorführung schubste, scheiterte er beim Überflug über die Donau (was tragisch war, denn sein Fluggerät hätte funktioniert). Und starb verspottet und verarmt. Aber weil es hier nicht um Albrecht Berblinger (so hieß der Schneider) geht starten wir mit unserem Schildkröterich Flibbius frohgemut den Versuch zu fliegen, weil uns ein Brief unseres Onkels erreicht, in dem dieser uns von einer abgestürzten Flugmaschine erzählt. Und "yeaiiii" machen wir uns auf ins Abenteuer wo wir uns fröhlich neben da Vinci, Montgolfier, Lilienthal, Wright, bis hin zu Yeager einreihen. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3683412536 Auf unserer Suche nach der abgestürzten Flugmaschine sammeln (und manchmal kombinieren wir auch), rätseln und sprechen wir mit anderen Inselbewohnern um die Reste zu bergen und zu reparieren. Und das ist niedlich und macht gute Laune, denn Flibbius ist ein lustiger kleiner Kerl, immer hilfsbereit und aufbauend (Gewalt fällt also aus). Die Rätsel, denen er sich gegenüber sieht sind nicht schwer (gerade, wenn man die Texte aufmerksam liest, oder die Tipps nutzt. Aber dann entgeht einem ein Achievement). Grafisch und vom Spielgeschehen ist es gut geeignet um es mit Kindern zusammen zu spielen (die Texte sind in Englisch) und dazu noch etwas erklärt, denn ein paar NPC haben Probleme, die über das Fehlen eines Gegenstandes hinausgehen (wobei das nur rudimentär behandelt wird). Und nach 1-2 Stunden ist die Reise vorbei, das Fluggerät gefunden und Flibbius in den Sonnenuntergang entschwebt. Und deswegen würde ich mir mehr von Flibbius wünschen (der Nachfolger steht aber für dieses Jahr schon in den Startlöchern), gerade weil einiges für mich etwas mehr eingebunden werden dürfte. Der Tag-Nacht-Wechsel ist für mich verschenktes Potential, genau wie die Interaktionen mit den NPC,. Mehr wäre hier definitiv MEHR. Wenige Bugs (beim ersten Durchlauf bekam ich keine Achievements und die Kanone abzufeuern funktionierte erst beim 2. Versuch) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3683412417 [h3]Fazit und für den eiligen Leser:[/h3] Kurzes Kinderbuch-likes Spiel, dass vermutlich auch auf Toaster oder Taschenrechner läuft (Hardware-Anforderungen) mit gut zu erreichenden Errungenschaften ohne tiefschürfende Story. Mit netten Figuren. Und Dung-Käfer!!! (aber das spoiler ich nicht) Wenn euch das gefallen hat schaut doch mal hier vorbei: [url]https://steamcommunity.com/groups/FieldysShorts[/url]

❤️ I had a wonderful time playing this game and truly enjoyed the experience. I've decided to try this game out after reading a lovely review from a lovely friend 💕, and I’m so glad I did—it was absolutely the best decision! The game is cozy and adorable, with a charming atmosphere that makes it very relaxing to play. Progressing through the game involves interacting with objects, picking items, and crafting or combining them. The mechanics are simple but engaging, which makes the gameplay feels natural and satisfying. I rarely found myself getting stuck. Most of the puzzles are quite intuitive, we do not have to rely on hints. The game does a great job of guiding you through its logic without becoming frustrating! Overall, I had a delightful time with this cozy little game. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did—it’s absolutely worth playing! 💯💯💯

The team put all their effort into the opening cut scene, which is also the trailer. Once the gameplay starts, it's quite disappointing. There's no flair or identity. All the text boxes are just rectangles with a solid color. The music doesn't change between areas. There are no environmental sound effects, so the whole world is just barren. The graphics are a far cry from what the trailer promised. This feels like a student project that probably got an A, but it's not a full game ready for release. I'm genuinely glad to see other reviews saying they love and appreciate its sense of humor and the like. But there are such better other games out there.

Flibbius McDoogle and the Mysterious Flying Machine is a charming puzzle game with a playful and slightly silly vibe. The world feels like a little storybook, and the characters have a lot of personality The puzzles are simple but enjoyable, making it a relaxing experience rather than a challenging one. It’s a great game to unwind with and just enjoy the atmosphere It’s on the shorter side, but it fits the cozy style really well

A cute and quick game about a wanna-be flying tortoise. The hardest part of the game is just figuring out the combinations to craft certain items you need. The game was cute, the graphics nice and the characters very charming. There's not a lot of substance here, but for $3 on sale, it was worth the 2 hour play time. I did have to restart the game as at one point I fell out of the boundaries and couldn't get back in, but it didn't take me long to get back to that point as I already had done most of the puzzles. I couldn't figure out how to play with mouse and keyboard, so used my xbox controller, which was fine. Learning how to move things to the boxes that come up was not intuitive, but not game-stopping. A little pop-up to explain the controls would have been useful.

first of all, thank you for the gift, sis! (/≧▽≦)/ if you like short adventure games like Frog Detective series, Time on Frog Island, A Short Hike and Lil Gator Game then this is the game for you to wind down and relax for at most 2 hours of your day o(*￣︶￣*)o also, a huge shoutout to this text-based walkthrough guide which is easy to follow to get that 100% achievement completion: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3684667229 oh and it works well on steam deck though you need to double press on the A button when selecting an item for you to craft/interact with (:

Charming but short little adventure game, sort of similar vibes to the Frog Detective series. The game is your basic puzzle adventure but there are some crafting elements to the puzzle solutions to spice things up to similar games, and it seams to be several solutions to some of the puzzles. That's always good. I did get stuck for a while before I actually read the text on some of the crafting materials you pick up and realized what the game wanted me to do when I couldn't find a rope i knew i needed. It's not super obvious to say the least... It's nothing groundbreaking but at a couple of € it's a solid game for an hour or two (left the game running while making something to eat, so the playtime for 100% is not 3 hours.

Simply a must have if you're in to cute and cozy feel-good games along the lines of A Short Hike or Smushi Come Home and the many other similar games that we have been graced with these past few years. Fortunately a growing genre and this game fits right in with the rest. I found myself smiling the whole way through. Flibbius McDoogle (awesome name) takes you on a short adventure around a small island, where you get to meet various animal npcs and help them out, which on one hand makes you feel good but it also helps you progress on your own objective. It IS a short game, so keep that in mind. I bought it on sale, but I enjoyed it so much that I wouldn't have minded paying full price. Well a longer sequel is in the making, so I'll get the chance then. :D The gameplay consists of exploring the small island and completing simple crafting related puzzles like figuring out which of the items you have found around the island might combine in to the thing(s) you need to complete an objective. You have a journal that keeps track of your story so far and it includes Secret notes that function as hints if you're stuck. Heads up for achievement hunters: DO NOT click the Secret notes if you want to complete the game in one playthrough. There's an achievement for completing the game without hints AKA reading Secret notes.
