Fester Mudd: Curse of the Gold - Episode 1

Fun little puzzle game.

A wonderful adventure game, too sad that there will no be other episodes.

I quite like this game but unfortunately there is no sequel

A Short entertaining Point and Click, harkening back to the classics like Monkey Island, there is no audio dialogue, just music and sounds effects. All puzzles were generally logical. Maybe a little too many fart jokes. Not worth the $10 price tag but if you can get is $2-$3 its worth it, understand there will be no sequel and the game ends without a conclusion.

Pros - Charming art-style, really nostalgic - Mostly playable with just the mouse, you do need to press ESC to save and exit the game. - Fun dialog and lots of quirky characters. - Fantastic puzzle design, really can't praise it highly enough, its all extremely logical and makes for a really satisfying experience. Don't think I've played a game before that pretty much the first thing I try is the correct solution. Also the verb table can be problematic in some games due to the amount of choices it generates but the implementation here is spot on. At no time was I stuck because I was using the wrong verb. Very intuitive. Cons - Very short and ends on a cliffhanger only part one of a planned trilogy that will never see the light of day. Overall its a really polished and enjoyable point and click. Very disappointing we will not get to see the conclusion of the story.

[h1]Overall = 7/10[/h1] A perfect tribute to adventure games of old with great pixel art graphics, catchy music and a quirky if puerile sense of humour. The way it weaves the absurd into the setting is well done, as are the puzzles, gameplay and overall style with enough characters and scenes to keep things interesting and entertaining. Unfortunately, it’s only part 1 of a story, so there’s no length or conclusion to the game, which is a real shame as I would have gladly played more of it.
