<\/strong>Nacho Rodr\u00edguez\u2019s point-and-click is like an old kid\u2019s cartoon, a cavalcade of imagery where Lucasfilm meets Dal\u00ed<\/p>\n

Mr Coo has a problem: he\u2019s in pieces. Three of them, to be precise, and before you have a chance to consider whether that really qualifies as \u201cmany\u201d, you find yourself tugging on a pensive demon\u2019s thoughts to make it turn into a raincloud.

Even by point-and-click adventure standards, the puzzles and scenarios here are odd. This short burst of surrealism from the Spanish director and animator Nacho Rodr\u00edguez has the feeling of a half-forgotten cartoon you watched on holiday when you were a kid, and its constant artistic flourishes are absolutely the main event here.
