Nobody likes them but we all need to play something at some point.

Depends on the artist. Yes, I don't like hipsterion pixel art. This one is acceptable.

Is this on the thimbleweed park engine or did the dev look at the artstyle then go yep this is what my game needs

 

[Hercule Parrot]

Both Thimbleweed Park and this game are awkward attempts at imitating the artstyle of Maniac Mansion, even though Lucasfilm Games itself quickly altered and improved its style. Can't take these games seriously with the oversized heads.

Personally I can't take seriously all of the modern 3rd person adventures, but as taxalot stated, we'll need something to play at some point.
