    If a player who stumbles upon this title on Steam becomes inspired to make serious educational reform after watching their students get dehumanised into tropical fruit, No Pineapple Left Behind will have all been worth it.

    A cynical view on school systems that suffers from poor playability.

    In No Pineapple Left Behind, from Subaltern Games, you play as this peculiar principal. You have to juggle the responsibilities of supporting teachers, improving students’ grades, and managing a budget. This is quite a job, where accounting for every dollar of your daily spending allowance becomes crucial. It is much easier to resort to your magical power, which drains the humanity from kids, turning them into pineapples.

    No Pineapple Left Behind works really well as a satire, but as a game is too shallow and gets boring pretty fast. [05/2016, p.64]

    An interesting idea, but not very funny new management strategy from the school grounds. Teaching pineapples in the classroom is hilarious and inspiring only until the game turns into a boring routine.
