I'm still gonna try to finish it, but it's pants compared to the first two. Puzzles just aren't as good, and the rewards are almost always pointless amounts of coins or critical hit upgrades, in a game where coins are worthless and combat is almost nonexistent. In the first two games, getting coins to buy upgrades was a pivotal part of solving many puzzles, but that just isn't the case here, aside from the first two pickaxe upgrades, I suppose.

The general themes are political and offputting. Negative against capitalism, but in a "you agree with us, right?" way, not a clever or nuanced way. In the end, everyone turns into gay communists or something I guess. There's also a gay couple in this children's themed game, and possibly a polyamorous group as well. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions and viewpoints, but if you're going to put these things at the forefront of a game, at least present it in an entertaining or clever way.

One thing that stood out to me as a really missed opportunity was when you enter the Baron's house to fix the toilet, and there's no toilet. There's a mild running gag involving all the toilets being poop buckets, and it would have been a good joke to make the baron's toilet a poop bucket, albeit maybe a golden one. And the gag being why would a plumber need to fix a bucket?
