Armikrog review point and clay ck adventure
Story
The game centers around Tommynaut, a space explorer who crash-lands on a planet called Spiro 5 and ends up locked inside a fortress called Armikrog. Tommynaut is accompanied by his talking, sometimes flying, dog Beak-Beak, who is color blind, so the environment turns black-and-white when he’s selected, but he is able to see special wavelengths that Tommynaut can’t.
Development
Mike Dietz and Ed Schofield, founders of Pencil Test Studios, teamed up with Doug TenNapel, with whom they worked on Earthworm Jim and The Neverhood, to use Kickstarter to crowdfund Armikrog. The Kickstarter's goal of $900,000, and stretch goal of $950,000 for a Wii U version were exceeded when the funding ended on June 27, 2013.
The game has a voice cast featuring Michael J. Nelson as Tommynaut, Rob Paulsen as Beak-Beak and the PresidANTs, Jon Heder as evil Vognaut, Veronica Belmont as Mother, Bob Baffy as Father, Charlotte Schofield as P, Yumi Iwama, Jeff Minnerly, Bob Doll as the Octovators, and Ed Schofield (credited as Eddie Fantastic) as Numnaut.
Soundtrack
The game's soundtrack was composed by Terry Scott Taylor, who composed the music for The Neverhood soundtrack. During the time of the Kickstarter campaign, a demo for Armikrog titled "Boo Hoo Ha" was uploaded to YouTube.
Reception
Armikrog received mixed reviews from critics, most appreciating the fun art style and catchy music. However, some were disappointed with lots of bugs, poor gameplay and short story. It received an aggregated score of 56.89% on GameRankings based on 19 reviews and 57/100 on Metacritic based on 39 reviews. Armikrog received many updates after its release date, the latest being 1.05, fixing various bugs and adding the custom cursor.
