Grab the Bottle

I called dibs on Grab the Bottle because it looked kind of silly, and figured at worst it'd be a fun little distraction. It definitely hit those points, but wound up being something I legitimately enjoyed for some quick, on-the-go puzzle solving. And with a story that wound up having minimalist heft to it, I think this is a nice little excursion from your typical gaming experience well worth hitting the sauce for.

"Goofy and far-stretched idea."

Not every game needs to be all the sparkle and jazz. But sometimes I wonder who the target audience for these games are. The idea is sound in theory but not in practice. I don’t expect perfection every time and some of my favourite games look like they’ve been cheaply cobbled together but deliver gameplay and enjoyment in spades. This isn’t one of those games.

Grab The Bottle has style and that unfortunately is all it has to offer. The puzzles boil down to retry after retry, until finally succeeding and being rewarded with another level of repetitiveness. The mechanics do not vary enough to be engaging and the story is not present enough to keep the attention of the player.
