Jolly Rover

I at first was hesitant to purchase this game cause according to Steam it has no voice acting and my voice acting is nonexistent thankfully it does have voice acting I am enjoying this game so far. Definitely reminds me of Monkey Island cause of the humor and the pirate theme also there are pieces of eight to find not sure if this was a real currency during this time period or just a Monkey Island inside joke. I will definitely be doing a full play-through in the future

A cross between Monkey Island and Dogtanian, a fun point and click with challenging puzzles. There's a built-in hints system if you get stuck. Great animations and voice acting. Hopefully we'll see more adventures in this series.

wish it wasn't so short

Bland point and click with a generic story in a derivative setting featuring a pointless scoring system.

[h3] STORY [/h3] A young, inexperienced Dachshund named Gaius James Rover is sailing across the seas to deliver a cargo of a brew made of rum spoiled by tobacco, (called Jolly Rover) to governor Guy DeSilver residing on Groggy Island, a small backwater and haven for pirates. His adventures continue through mishaps, humor, and puzzles. [h3] GAMEPLAY[/h3] The story is full of puns and humor which fits well to the genre. The game mechanics are your standard point and click controls. You will interact with items and backgrounds as well as watching dialogue in scenes to advance the story and complete the game. [h3] PLAYTIME [/h3] The game itself is fairly easy for adventure games as there is more hand holding then there was back in classic adventure game days, (1990’s). Play time is ~4-6 hours to complete the story and ~4-8 hours to get all achievements. You may have to play again if you miss any of the pieces of eight or crackers, which is possible as the story is linear and you don’t return to scenes in each playthrough. [h3] COMPLAINTS [/h3] There is nothing specific to complain about for this game. [h3] REPLAYABILITY [/h3] There is some replayability to this game much like most adventure games. There could be additional ways to solve puzzles, interactions you missed, or just reliving the story again. [h3] RECOMMENDATION [/h3] I recommend the game to anyone who loves classic 90’s adventure games or is an achievement hunter.

My first impression was the graphics are a bit 'out-to-date', but fair enough to continue. Never regret I have done that: the story is very great and also a nice game if you just like to search & collect items. Cute music too. If you like Monkey Island this is a yes, however this is a more easy version... I really recommend to not use any hints with the parrots, so please don't give any crackers to them... but just look for yourself to a solution. Mostly not too difficult so... If you really want to collect all the achievements you can spend at least 8 hours or more with this game. And I also recommend to use a walkthrough if you like that, because otherwise it's mostly impossible to get everything...
