Little known fact: I’m allergic to mosquito bites. Therefore I hate mosquitoes. It was for this reason that I initially found it difficult to empathise with the protagonist in Mosquito & Cow – a game in which you play a mosquito attempting to find a way to suck blood from a cow. Leave those poor cows alone goddammit!
Mosquito & Cow is a simple point a click puzzley/adventure affair – it’s a little obscure at times, and makes life difficult for you, but the art and music has just enough charm to drag you through the experience. It has that whole hipster-esque handdrawn acoustic vibe to it – it feels fresh.
The main problem is a lack of guidance. The game provides you with hints and tips, but these are often as obscure as the puzzles themselves.
Still, I had fun. And I think you will too.
