I was nominated for 26th Golden Joystick Award in E4 Grand Master Flash Category.
Review by Channel 4 TV
Shortlisted for E4.com’s Grand Master Flash at the Golden Joystick Awards 2008
Wow… not only can we not pronounce his name, but we cannot believe the wondrous level of invention and effort that Grzegorz (and co) has put into creating this little masterpiece. The story is suitably fanciful – you are off to rescue Dr Esculap who five years ago, after inventing an elixir to grow elves to human size, escaped from Elfland. He was then captured by the enraged elf king and used telepathy to ask Bert for help. You just happen to play the part of Bert.
Everything about this site/game/video/art installation is incredible. Everything has been cut from cardboard or wired with LEDs and simple circuit boards, or moulded from Plasticine. It has then been meticulously photographed and animated to interact with the click of the mouse. The result is astounding so enjoy… then watch the video… and enjoy some more.
Controls
Pointing and clicking will get you through here; some screens call for more complex mouse work, but nothing too taxing.
Tips
Try to keep your jaw from smacking on the desk in front of you as you marvel at the sheer scope of Grzegorz’s work.
