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:
Feel free to disagree with the panel's rating, and please don't be offended if you
think your game has been under-rated!
| 1 Cup | Not serious entertainment |
| 2 Cups | A reasonable game, worth a try |
| 3 Cups | A good game, worth playing |
| 4 Cups | A great game, well worth your time |
| 5 Cups | An outstanding, must-play game! |
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!

Excellent game! Love the art style.
Although some puzzles involved pixel-hunting, generally they were logical and well crafted.
A must-play!

One of the best AGS games I've played. Great light tone, a lot of good puzzles, many that were challenging without being unfair. Fun characters, witty dialogue, nice animations and a tight story. What more could you want?

There should be a special category for this game - like a Hall of Legends. It has all the ingredients that made Monkey Island famous, while the main character, the story and the settings have enough original traits to make the game keep out of the shadow of well known titles. With its rich enough variety of characters, the hand drawn images using just as much lines as to leave some room for your imagination, the light, playful music and the pace and turns of the story - it succeeds in pulling you into its world.
And it's not so easy to escape its charms once you started playing because the story takes place in the time of eternal youth when there are no burdens and the Sun keeps rising in the horizon. According to that age, the main character is defined by a mix ofbravery and a positive outlook on life, expressed as humor. To have the attitude of the main character seems to be the message of the game. Then, as the hero, you would get the support of the majority and defeat the bad guy. Well, reality is a bit different, but it's not my place to say more of this here.
Concerning the other possible message of protecting the wildlife, I would point at the different attitude that Nelly has towards the cat. Sure, it's funny, but there's a difference.
But I don't think that this game will remain in your memory for its messages. It will remain for being a very well put together work of art and for the enjoyment that it brought you. For me it was a delight.

I've played it last night... I love the story of it and the twist near the end. And I too hope Alasdair provides a sequel soon! What adventure will Nelly have next?
2013-02-09 23:12:37 by DBoyWheeler
Best AGS game ever! I hope Alasdair continues working on the sequel.

Well, many good words were said to praise this game already... I wish to add, this game features most cute Trilby ever featured in AGS games :)
2009-01-08 16:05:48 by Crimson Wizard
Definitely one of the best games I've played from AGS. Everything about it was right on the money - the graphics, the writing, the humor, the cute story, the coin interface, the fast travel, the level of difficulty... everything just top-notch. Kudos and congratulations.

The game was lovely. Definitely in the top 3 of my favorite AGS games. It was clever, had great pacing, and gorgeous graphics.

What a surprisingly good, fun game. I am glad I didn't miss it. I hope there is another made. Good job.
2008-08-25 02:10:30 by Linda Petrie (mbday630)
lovely graphics, funny dialogue, interesting puzzles. A must play!

Wonderful game! Graphics are whimsical and very well done, storyline is original, humor is refreshing. The game kept me interested and playing for several hours. Puzzles are moderately challenging and enhance the game's pace. I encountered an occasional glitch with the dialogue flashing through too quickly to see. This was solved by saving, then going into a new screen, and returning to the saved screen. Otherwise, the game ran smoothly without errors. One of my favorite AGS games! Kudos to Mr. Beckett, et al!

This is a very entertaining adventure, the best of the games I've played so far. I found most of the puzzles quite fun and the cut scenes made a welcome milestone and kept the pace flowing.
Let us hope that this is not the last we've heard from Nelly as this would be a shame. Nelly is a real dish, so let's hope she makes a comeback!

Brilliant game, beautiful and original artwork, great dialogue, intelligent puzzles! but the thing I love the most is that it is extremely cohesive in terms of aesthetics and gameplay. everything fits perfectly. great job!

A really unique graphic style, and very funny dialogs.

I second m0ds sentiment. This is a wonderful game, play it now!

Awesome game. Pretty clever puzzles. Cool outline. The piratoglyphics puzzle was way the smartest.
2007-09-24 22:01:16 by Dualnames (Dualnames)
I love it. The characters of this game are really cute (the best one is Nelly, of course).

this game ROCKS!!
2007-09-06 23:55:24 by dunnoson (dunnoson)
Absolutely awesome - can't recommend enough. Just the right length, puzzles are logical and make sense, script is perfect, graphics are beautiful.
Music doesn't quite meet the high standards of other game aspects, but doesn't detract from (IMHO) the BEST AGS GAME EVER MADE!

Really enjoyed this game - highly recommend it! Hope there will be a sequel in the very near future.

This game is *INCREDIBLE*!!! Everything from the characters, plot, puzzles, humor, everything just sincerely and totally rocks! This is definitely the best thing since sliced Monkey Island, and I now wish to be a pirate if I ever grow up. Play this game right now!
2007-04-22 23:05:31 by Strange Visitor (Heromaker)
The game was so good, that if it was perfect I would give it top marks!!
You should try it!!

Amazing. Probably the best pirate adventure game since Monkey Island. It has my vote for game of the year.
2007-04-15 00:08:33 by cajunpepper (cajunpepper)
Oh, I forgot to mention... there's lots of humour too, although if you're not British, some of it might go over your head (such as the way that the owners of the first shop say goodbye). Puns abound. When you've finished the game, watch the credits to the end to see an amusing AGS reference.
2007-04-10 15:05:39 by paolo (paolo)
What an excellent game! Cute graphics (which remind me of cardboard cut-outs), cute animations, cute script and original puzzles. Beautifully done. Well done, Alasdair!
2007-04-10 15:01:16 by paolo (paolo)
Very nice game ! Funny, well done, very beautiful, great job :)

Ali, Hats off to you. Awesome title I wish to see many more! This has set a high standard for 2007.

Great Game. You must play it..... Looking forward to many more games from this master game maker.
2007-03-11 04:41:38 by Rosie (Rosie)
I loved it! It's in a nice, small playing field so you can't get lost in the middle nowhere, but the puzzles keep you going back and forth, giving you plenty of game time. Excellent gameplay and graphics. I hope you make a sequel.
