Space Boy's First Adventure

I've always liked games about superheroes. In fact, I've even written one myself. So when I saw this announced on the ADRIFT forum, I quickly rushed over and downloaded it… and came away feeling very disappointed.

The Adventure Of Space Boy! follows is a game about a superhero whose cape has been stolen and his sidekick, Wonder Dog, is missing. You need to find four items that can mimic Space Boy's powers and also discover what's happened to his cape. Oh, and find Wonder Dog as well I guess although the game never actually says this.

It's pretty obvious right from the start that this is a game by a newcomer and has undergone little or no testing at all...
