Ratings and reviews

It's no monkey island, but it's alright. The humor is okay, but I don't think I actually chuckled even once. Some of the puzzles/solutions are a bit obtuse, but I've played much worse. The controls are a bit clunky/tedious in this day and age, especially when it's no logical next move and you need to spam testing out solutions to see what works. Playing on a phone is a bit small. I'll likely finish the game since I don't like leaving things half done, but I won't bother with the sequel.

this one star review is for both the game itself and for the whole system which makes getting a refund for a sketchy game far more difficult than it needs to be. I have been wanting this game for quite some time so imagine my disappointment upon finding out it is so poorly constructed that it simply does not function and I can not move forward nor win the game. I have collected an item that never showed up in my inventory and therefore I can go no further. A true waste of hard earned money.

A wonderful point-and-click adventure, every bit as excellent as Monkey Island 2. Simon is a likable protagonist. Puzzles are logical enough that I was able to beat it without a walkthrough! Just a couple of typos in the subtitles, but I assume those were in the original version. Thanks to MojoTouch for putting together an anniversary edition to bring this classic to a new generation of devices. Zero crashes on Galaxy S9. Highest recommendation!
