Revenge of the Balloon-Headed Mexican

Fans of Ben There, Dan That! and its excellent follow-up Time Gentleman, Please! will be happy to know the saga of the two bumbling brits is confirmed to continue for an episodic series featuring some Day of the Tentacle style gameplay where Ben and Dan will seperate from each other, which given Dan’s malady regarding solo adventuring could be pretty great indeed.
The series so far has been a brilliant mix of great writing and some smart puzzles and I can’t wait to get stuck in to another game. Another key appeal of the series is the insane value for money, as the first game is still entirely free or alternatively can be bought as part of a $5 pack on steam featuring the even more sublime sequel.
On top of this, this month’s edition of GamesTM in the UK features a four-page interview with the creators as well as a review for TGP. A great month for the duo so far then, and with the new episodic series focusing much less on parody I think there’s far more comic originality left from the creators yet for us to see this year, and it’ll certainly be worth waiting for.
Dang, I still haven’t played the first two games! About time I got around to it then…
I need to get to playing them too.
If nothing else, the name of this newest installment certainly feels like a classic adventure game.
Ben and Dan separated? Nooooooooo.
Nevertheless, looking forward to this.
lets see how many crazy things i can say, and call it humour.
I just played the first game Ben there Dan that, and it’s pretty lovely!
writing is funny and the rest fits in
