The AGS Panel is a team of AGS forum veterans who play all of the games here, and give them ratings from one to five cups. The rating system is as follows:
1 CupNot serious entertainment
2 CupsA reasonable game, worth a try
3 CupsA good game, worth playing
4 CupsA great game, well worth your time
5 CupsAn outstanding, must-play game!
Feel free to disagree with the panel's rating, and please don't be offended if you think your game has been under-rated!

(Why has my game been rated 1 cup?)

Close window
If your game has been rated 1 cup, please don't be offended! It's common for your first game release to get a 1-cup rating, due to the game having a lack of polish and flair -- which is understandable, because you're just getting started!

Please understand that the main purpose of the ratings is to help potential game players find high quality, bug-free games to play. You've probably learnt a lot about AGS as a result of making your first game -- so why not use that knowledge to start afresh, and do even better with your next game!

About this game

It's been a peculiar day for Jessica Plunkenstein. By a freak twist of fate and airline security, our heroine finds herself battling evil barons bent on world domination, evil headmistresses bent on pathological propriety, and evil yodelers bent on nothing in particular. Full of llamas, ninjas, French people, pickled herring, dubious German accents, yetis in heat, and musical theatre up the wazoo, Jessica's adventures bring her from the Amazonian Rain Forests to the Norwegian Alps with layovers along the Eastern seaboard. So tag along, and you, too, can unravel The Düsseldorf Conspiracy in what the New York Times calls the Best Adventure Game of 2005!


Features:

* Zany intercontinental escapades with absolutely no mammoths or talking robots
* Eight hours of addicting gameplay, divided over four parts and fifty unique locations
* Full score and professional voice acting
* Writing that would put James Joyce, Jane Austen, and Anton Chekov to shame
* Art that would put them to suicide

Oh, and I thought the puzzles were v.g. too - they all made sense and just took a little bit of exploration and experimenting to work out, i.e. challenging enough to be fun but not too difficult. Just a really fun game all around.

Loved it - thank you! The voice acting for all the characters was excellent and really impressive (better than many commercial games I've played), music was very good and the humor was outstanding - I laughed through the whole thing! I even liked your "lame" graphics, LOL!

This game was hilarious. It had me laughing from start to finish. Good job.

The puzzles were all really clever and not too bizarre, so I was able to finish with only a little help from a walkthrough. I probably could've finished it without a walkthrough, but I guess I'm just impatient.

But that last puzzle sucked. =P

The voice-acting was very, very well done, and really breathed life into the game. It was well worth the large download.

The graphics weren't great, and their inconsistency jarred me quite a bit, what with the RotN stuff, the clipart, and your own drawings. Also, the lack of description for a lot of actions was rather irritating and terribly unprofessional. unhandled_event, please!

However, in light of the game's good points, those flaws, which would be glaring and game-destroying in a lesser work, are actually pretty negligible. It was an amazing game nonetheless.

A hilarious game, with good voice acting and strong puzzles. With the exception of the (amusingly) simplistic graphics, the game has the feel of a Classic LucasArts adventure.

One of my favorite pnc games. The puzzles, humor, story, and voices were all fantastic. Can't wait for your next game! :)

This was a great game all around, especially the voiceover work and humor. I look forward to your next project!

What an amazing game. I couldn't stop laughing all the way through! It's absolute nonsense, and that's what makes it all so great. Whether its the flight on board 'Desp-Air', the Llama mating calls, or the pilot-eating Yetis, it all fits together to make a real gem of a game.

Another thing that I think really made this was the voice acting. It wouldn't have been half as entertaining without the silly accents, and the singing cats at the end were just hilarious.

Overall, 'Jessica Plunkenstein' is a brilliant game, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a laugh!

This game is a prime example of the proverb "Never judge a book by its cover". Under its strange exterior lies a brilliant game. If you haven't played it yet (and have broadband) then play it now!

Jessica Plunkenstein is a big file but it was worth ever second I waited for it to download. While the look of the game is primitive, with a lot of borrowed graphics, it is more than made up for by everything else.

Jessica Plunkenstein comes with the best voice pack I have ever heard. Jessica herself is a wonderful lead character, sweet and intelligent, traits that are brought out by her voice. There's also a large cast of supporting voices which are generally excellent. The puzzles get harder as the game proceeds but they can all be figured out with enough logical thinking. The look of the game, despite being primitive, is attractive and some scenes are very impressive indeed. The script takes every opportunity to apologise for its graphics but there's really no need. It's simplicity at its most bright and attractive.

The best thing about Jessica Plunkenstein, however, is the script. Its brilliantly written stuff, clever and hilarious, and the performances of the dialogue are spot on. The closing credits are a nice touch, with some audio outtakes and a picture gallery of all those involved.

Jessica Plunkenstein is definitely a game you should play right away. It kept me laughing (often out loud) and guessing all the way through.
