Thing-a-ma-BOTS reviewed by Tom Vasel
In a recent review of Thing-a-ma-BOTS, Tom Vasel concludes: "And thus lies my recommendation for Thing-a-ma Bots. It's creative, fun, and interesting - IF you either are playing with children or are a child. Adults should seek their 'filler' fun elsewhere, as this will seem boring and too childish for them. Kids, on the other hand, will have a blast playing the game, and wonder why adults don't have a good sense of humor."I'm everso vastly delighted that the reviewer found my game to be appealing to children. This warms the very cockles of my conceptual heart. When my wife told me that some of the special education kids she works with really enjoyed playing Thing-a-ma-BOTS, I almost melted.
Finally, I've also learned from this review that the adults I hang out with, and design my games for, are far more childlike than Mr. Vasel and his playmates want to admit they are. Oh, all right, childish. These people will find Further Instructions and Suggestions" on my site, should they wish to learn how they can make the game even sillier.
