Homestar runner has this unique hold on humor that just makes me glee with delight every time I see more stuff from it. It's basically wholesome humor of a bunch of random stringed together words that just kinda works with older internet comedy that makes it feel rather unique. When you attach that humor with the quick witted timing and charm of Homestar Runner characters you get this timeless and seemingly flawless delivery of comedy. Then The Roomisode attaches that to the quirky styling of puzzle solving that Lucas Arts is known for, and suddenly you get this incredibly charming game!
The Roomisode was certainly surprising on my behalf, not even knowing they made a demo for this game a while ago based on it's first case, but having played Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People, a lot of good similarities popped up with it. I think one of the lower qualities to SBCGFAP is it dragged on cases a little too long, and while I certainly wish this game was longer, the cases themself are perfectly paced. Using a click-a-thon style of gameplay mixed together with it's consist delivery of humor and need to combine various items provides for a lot of laughs. So much so that it's really hard to ever be bored with this game as you go through it the first time. Completing this game isn't a walk in the park as it consistently has missable points and certain orders that you need to get everything done, but this really won't impact anyone that casually wants to enjoy this game.
Sadly, The Roomisode is only 3 cases long, and while certain cases do last longer than others, the whole game can be beaten in roughly 2 hours. That being said, this game is certainly better than any given schlock movie in theaters now, and you'll still have plenty of money left over compared to going to them. This game is an absolute afternoon delight, and well worth your money.
