Mandagon

Mandagon is a short and free game that has been hanging around in my library for nearly a decade now. I was drawn to it due to its thousands of "overwhelmingly" positive reviews. It's a very straightforward platformer where you collect a few items from around the map and deposit them into other places around the map. Aside from moving and jumping, there are some elevators and other objects that assist with movement around the map. The whole thing takes about an hour to complete.

I'll be brief (partly because there isn't much content in the game to begin with), I don't get it. The game looks and sounds nice, but the platforming is just about the most basic it can be to still be called a platformer. There's some cryptic story hidden around the map about death, I think, but it's not very clear.
This was boring to play, boring to read, and even though it was just an hour, I would rather have not spent that time here. I don't understand the review score, and I can't recommend it.
