Fun Game!!
I almost didn't buy The Fool but I'm so glad I did!! It has a great original storyline. Original creative puzzles, most of them can be done with logic and patience. Nice bit of adventure which was refreshing. Also nice clear HO scenes with creative interactive items. Beautiful Graphics throughout.
I don't use volume so I don't know about music or voices.
Hints mostly work only for HO. I did resort to the walkthrough a couple of times for objects I couldn't find.
I thought it quite long compared to most games lately. Every time I thought it was over, I moved on to a new area. New areas kept the back and forth down to a minimum and you could remember where things were that needed to be done.
Kept my interest until the end.

Try this game.
I really liked the game alot. I wourd have preffred that the charters had a voice when they interact w/you, but it was ok. Loved the clarity of the game.

Too Short!
This game was OK. Too short. Some of the puzzles are pretty hard, though. I don't know where they get off saying this game is hilarious. Just another game.

fun but short
Lots of running around for find items. My biggest complaint is that the hint button is worthless. It is a fun game to play but lot of the puzzles are very hard to play. Still a fun game.

Short and sweet - A guy's review
A nice "save the princess" story in wonderful fantasy/steampunk settings. It looks wonderful and is quite lighthearted, which should suit those who doesn't like the creepier games out there (I like all kinds as long as the story is ok).
It gives you two choices of difficulty level: Casual and Expert.
I played it on expert level, but still found it rather easy, though sparkles only appear on the HOG scenes.
There are some nice creative puzzles and some well created interactive HOG scenes. The HOG scenes seems very well thought out, and it seems to me they are not too overcrowded and items are close to true size.
It never gets too frustrating, though at times I feel a bit lack of information on what you are supposed to do, or i.e. how many items you need to collect of a certain type.
The biggest downside to the game is the length. It is rather short, but I was lucky to get it at a Daily Deal, and feel it was well worth that price. I am not sure I would recommend it at full price, but be sure to look out for deals on this little gem.
The casual gaming scene is basically been overrun by the better gender, and one can often see that in the way the games are created too. I don't really mind as I am in it for the puzzles and challenges, but some guys might struggle with some settings in some games. This game though, I think is suited for both genders, and your character is actually male in this one.
Recommended as a Daily Deal or if you are looking for something short and sweet

Don't be "The Fool" and not buy this one!!
Great game! Fun Fun Fun. Good visuals and challenging. The story line was OK and the whole game was great fun. This is a great HOG and a real deal for a "Catch of the Week" game !!

Great game with almost no knocks against it!
This was a great game with a good story line and fun/humorous script. The only knocks against the game is that it is a tad too short and some of the puzzles were not very challenging. But one of the best games I have played recently!
