Beautiful Game Ruined by HORRIBLE Controls

I admit that I love games like this that involve critical thinking. Big fan of the Monkey Island games as well. The Cave is beautifully rendered and the tasks are sufficiently challenging to provide a few hours of stimulating gameplay. What really ruined this game for me was the pitiful controls, or should I say the lack thereof.

For those used to games where you can do something like jump over an object or a pit full of spikes (for example), be prepared to spend several minutes trying to do the same thing in The Cave. I became frustrated beyond belief by the fussiness of the controls and having to navigate over obstacles.

The game is cool, the controls are the worst I’ve seen of any game available in the Mac App Store. Before buying, consider whether you’re willing to deal with this major shortcoming.
