Rabbits are blue and red, seals enjoy sea shells, and foxes make successful hotel owners. Those are just a few of the lessons we learn from BR's Climate Chaos.
The gorgeous adventure by The Super Flash Bros is set on a group of small islands, which are presented with pretty looking, quasi-3D graphics. The main character is Blue Rabbit, who, like your average rabbit, equipped with a digital camera, sets out on a quest to help the natives of the various islands to solve their problems with the local weather.
Upon your arrival on the island, you are greeted by the island's hotel's owner, who advises you to check in. You can take that advice, or you can talk to the locals first, to get a feel for the game. Some people will only appear after you have checked in, so don't forget to do that. From there, it's up to you to follow the enjoyable storyline. Don't miss this gem!
Analysis: A brief tutorial at the beginning introduces you to the intuitive controls as well as to the nicely done symbolic language that is used throughout the game.
With just 3 icons, Dancing Seal tells you that he loves the sea. The system is vaguely reminiscent of Tork, though it aims to make communication easy as opposed to making it part of the riddles.
Music by Dustball and voice acting by Egoraptor both fit in very well with the general ambiance of the game.
If critique can be applied to this game, it would have to be on a very high level. The whole piece has a very professional feel to it, leaving no improvements to be desired. I only got stumped once, very briefly, in the tutorial, when I had already talked to Dancing Seal, and the speech bubble still asked me to do it. I hadn't seen the green arrow which would let me advance the tutorial manually instead of automatically. I have also encountered a small bug, which made the hotel disappear after I ran around it. I was unable to make it reappear, nor could I replicate the circumstances after reloading, so maybe it was a one-time problem. However, should you run into this issue as well, you can still enter the hotel, if you walk up just right of the hotel's sign.
But those are really the only things I could find. Everything else is close to perfection, sound, music, graphics, story, character design (Dancing Seal wins the Cuteness Award!). Click.
Thanks to the awesome Capuchin for suggesting this game in our IRC channel!

The game is gorgeous, in fact I find myself getting distracted by the detail put into the animation, and forgeting what I was doing in a certain area. Oops!
Thankfully the game tends to guide you, and trial and error gets you pretty far. The *hey what's this do?* method of exploring is definitely effective for a player's apreciation of the game as a whole. It really showcases the work put into it.
I do wish the "language" was a bit less "WTF?" But, I'm having fun figuring it out.
Now if I could just make the rain stop... ;)
Great review, Thomas! Thanks!

I did both sides anyway, but still nothing!
Posted by: LillyWonder | November 20, 2006 6:10 PM
Thanks Metanaito. That was actually the only part of this game you probably couldn't do with trial and errro nor did it seem to be something you'd think of doing

Could someone post an image of exactly where
and give me the website so I can see it?

Hopefully it helps!

*Just finished*
Too cute for words, really. Not quite cuter than "The Asylum," but, then again, I'm in love with the little snake. (He's adorable)
Did the little rabbit's head remind anyone else of Gonzo the Muppet? Maybe I'm just a bit odd.
Either way, the game's just the right length for a quick little break, and I really like the music.

saved the game, then tried to come back and finish later but it deleted my inventory! too buggy... the hotel vanished for me the first time i tried playing too.
Posted by: liz | November 20, 2006 9:41 PM
All this vagueness about where to dig is infuriating, but I found it by going to that quadrant of the island and wandering around madly clicking the button.
Posted by: Brandon | November 21, 2006 1:07 AM
I also get the disappearing hotel trick after running behind and around it.

A bit too much for me this time. When these games begin to offer almost unlimited possibilities, it just takes too much time to figure out. If I take a picture of the west side of the island and show it to the captain, what will happen? I could take 250 pictures of everything and show each to the captain. Then do the same for each of the other 8 characters on the island. That would be about 3 hours time wasted.
If you have unlimited time to kill and don't mind wasting it, go ahead and play. Else if you want a good intuitive fun game, pass this up.
Posted by: Bruce | November 21, 2006 8:58 AM
Bruce: I believe that intuition refers to the concept of not trying each and every technical possibility.
If your intuition fails you, you can always get a hint from the guide that Metanaito mentioned a few posts up. :)

There is a direct link in the review above, click the first occurrence of "BR's Climate Chaos" (first paragraph).
And the others are Javascript links, not a Java applet. =)

amazing game! very very cute (which i always love) and the difficulty level was perfect! not too hard and not too easy- it wasn't so long that i wanted to stop at every difficult part and it wasn't so short that i didn't have enough time to become intrigued. the only problem that i had was the load time between islands.

Posted by: kristina | November 21, 2006 10:16 PM
kristina:
When you are sure that you have taken the right picture, go to the contest seal, talk to him, then use the green play button under the red camera button, then choose the picture of the sea shell.
That should then work...
