![]() ![]() As unfortunate events unfold, Zniw ends up far from her hometown of Wajapulka. This young yellow female dinosaur is armed with a sharp tongue but lacking in navigational skills. Her mother's hatchday is just around the corner and Zniw is trying to find the ultimate gift. Enjoy the prehistoric world in an unique cartoony style! The in-game encyclopedia fills as you encounter prehistoric creatures allowing you to read more about them. It features a comic book-esque art style, frame-by-frame animation, and unlockable goodies like concept art and minigames. Try not to overthink things and you’ll make your way through this adventure just fine.Inspired by adventure games and edutainment titles from the 90's, Zniw Adventure is a 2D point and click title full of cartoon dinosaurs. Streaming can sometimes make you worry you’re boring your audience trying to solve puzzles, but if you’re on your own you’ll probably be comfortable. Any time I did have to look up a guide, which was probably about three to four times in the playthrough, the solution was one I would have found eventually if I had more patience and looked more carefully. ![]() While this is a point and click adventure game, all the puzzles and progress implements are intuitive. Finding more of them unlocks bonus mini-games and other goodies. Funnily enough, the present for your mother becomes more a sidequest than the main plot as you try and find shiny pebbles throughout your journey. ![]() Sort of like Milo and Otis, you begin your journey in the wilds and try and make your way back home running into many roadblocks that you will need to overcome along the way. This leads to being surprised by a carnivorous beast in the bush, causing Zniw to freak out and get chased into the deep wilderness. So you turn to find something a bit more natural to try and create for her. In the tutorial section you try to get her some flowers but ultimately fail. You play as Zniw who is trying to get a birthday present for her mother. You may be able to upgrade your backpack to something nice late on in the game. They give you a hint if you’re missing a piece of the puzzle, but are on the right track. The interface is also quite slick with you being able to pick up objects and know what you are attempting to accomplish. I guess that’s one way to know that you’ve gotten old: the inability to correctly call a dinosaur by name. Which, when streaming, is important, as my adult tongue brought my dinosaur loving young self great shame. You will also get a nice journal that will teach you the different dinosaur species and how to pronounce them. Clearly inspired by the Sierra games of old such as the Quest series ( King, Police, Space, etc), this is a point and click adventure with plenty of charm and adventure - including a reference to those old games when you click the save button and hear the noises computers used to make when reading or writing the disk. This wonderfully-done opening screen shows you that you’re in for an expertly-animated treat. Select the other language and the dino will slide the flag behind her back, shuffle about a bit, before pulling out the other flag. Instead of a stock screen with flags to pick from, there is a dinosaur that holds the flag in her hand of the current language. You know what you're in for as soon as you open this game and see the language select screen. Zniw Adventure, developed by an independent two-person Polish team, hits on all the right nostalgic marks as it tells the story of a yellow dino by the name of Zniw ( pronounced Zniff), and her journey to get home in time for her mother’s birthday.īut will this game give the genre new life like a mosquito from Jurassic Park? Or will the game make you wish games like this would go extinct? It will more likely be the former if you're a fan of a good point and click. ![]() The adventure genre can sometimes seem a bit prehistoric, but that works just fine when your adventure game is about dinosaurs.
