This action is something you'll probably end up doing in the process of playing around with the game, but the problem is that it only yields coins if you need any. But in order to get the coins, you have to do something that you probably wouldn't expect to give you anything. They're needed for two separate puzzle chains, both of which are otherwise perfectly fine. The coins can also be rather tricky to find. But once you've done that, the rest is a rather straightforward affair that involves a pretty dull minigame. Its first step is rather unintuitive, as it requires clicking on something that blends into the background so well, you probably wouldn't expect it to be anything more than a clickpoint. But the weakest puzzle chain is one of Wingnut's. And it's a pretty simple puzzle that barely requires you to move around. One of the Velocimomometer's puzzle chains really just consists of a single puzzle. Not every puzzle chain is a winner however. Some of the others are a bit simpler, but still have some clever moments. The average quality of those has gotten notably better, with some of them now having a level of complexity and creativity roughly comparable to the first game's hard mask puzzle chain. Each of them still lies behind one of two randomly selected puzzle chains. The game is a bit lengthier than its prequel thanks to increasing the number of main objectives from three to four. I don't think the coloring is quite as striking as last time, due to the switch to a daytime setting, but it's still of perfectly fine quality.īut one aspect that marks a significant improvement is the puzzles.

Visually, the game is of a similar quality as last time, with a lot of very outlandish backgrounds and lively animation that's full of personality, but occasionally gets off model. Despite him being a fairly minor character who only exists in half of the playthroughs, there are lots of Easter eggs involving him scattered throughout the game. Dave Grossman clearly had a lot of fun writing Carrot in particular. There is no shortage of hidden interactions that 95% of the players will never see, and many of them are a real treat when you stumble upon them. The attention to detail deserves special praise. It's a bit of a departure from the more whimsical tone of the first game, but I find it just as hilarious. At times, these parts almost get satirical. With almost the entire game taking place inside of a corporation, the humor focuses more on the inefficiency of its bureaucracy. There isn't quite as much weirdness to the cast this time, but that's simply a result of the more focused setting. Once again, it's full of very colorful and funny characters. Its script is just as entertaining, if not even better. But now that I've dug deeper into it, I stand corrected. When I started replaying this game in preparation for its review, I recalled finding its writing to be very funny, but not quite on the same level as its prequel. It's only fitting that the first game to match its quality would be its own sequel. But as good as these three games were, I don't think any of them quite managed to reach the level of Pajama Sam's debut. And riding on its success, Humongous Entertainment managed to take Putt-Putt and Freddi Fish to new heights, while also exploring new horizons with Spy Fox's debut. Although rather flawed in the puzzle department, the game's world had an immense charm to it that really put it in a league of its own. I consider the first Pajama Sam to be the game that initiated the golden age of the Junior Adventures.
