What players say
Solid comedy adventure game. Better than Gilbert Goodmate and the Mushroom of Phungoria. It probably invites other comparisons but I shan't make them.

A charming piratical adventure! ABK's trademark gentle humour is very much on display and Nelly is a lovely protagonist. I can see this being a great first adventure game (along with its prequel) to play with children, as the puzzles are logical, the characters fun and silly, and there is clear signposting throughout.
