 }}A year on, another birthday, and now a firm grounding in the tools at hand; the second ''[[Adam's Birthday]]'' game is a huge leap over the first, if just as rapidly assembled.
-As with [[Adam's Birthday Game|the previous game]], ''Continues'' uses just a few resources: a single character wandering a single map, built of just a few types of background tiles and populated with three consciously slapdash monster types. Here, however, Caudel makes more of a meal from those resources, splattering them with irregular spots of grand, often strangely aimed, ambition.

 The monsters are just sort of there, as an obstacle to avoid during the first leg of the quest and to easily dispatch from there on. The real relationship here is between the player (via an avatar of [[Adam Tyner]]) and the environment. The game's single map contains several small sub-areas -- e.g., a "Guillotine Gallery" or a small room containing Adam's sword -- linked to the larger structure by hidden warps.

 Usually those warps are hidden in intuitively placed cul-de-sacs, that you can use NES logic to identify. "Surely there must be something over here," the brain says -- and when it does, the game indeed tends to reward that impulse. Cluttered as the map may seem at a distance, Caudel displays a healthy command of flow, ensuring that the player who sticks with the game will find a hand that meets them halfway and quietly guides them forward.
