Archipelago

Lose yourself in the sometimes unfathomable, often enthralling world of Archipelago

Review

'It's got intriguing puzzles. It's got fantastic 3D cartoon graphics. And it's really fun!', submits Jonathan of his own - admittedly extraordinary-looking - point 'n' click tropical island head-scratcher, which sees you shipwrecked on a surreal reef of exotic looking items which you can pick up, prod and generally puzzle over until you find your way home.

But be warned - the challenges are perhaps most politely described as 'fiendishly difficult' (and that's even if you read the hints on the site's front page). Ideal if you're looking for a tough adventure with a bit more atmosphere than The Mystery of Time and Space (it took us about 20 minutes to sort out the flying green pyramids).

Controls

Mouse to look around, click to move, pick up, put down or use item.

Tips

Reducing the graphics quality (right click on a PC for the Flash Player menu) really speeds up the action even if you already have a fast machine.
