AGS Panel review for this game:
The AGS Review Panel has left a comment about this game: Some decent attempts at some Monkey Island-style humour (and a largish game world) are a plus, but enjoyment is hampered by somewhat rough graphics and interactions.

Posted by bicilotti on 2009-04-04 at 21:48 (IP logged): A game with simple and catchy graphics, nice humor and good puzzles. I love the author drawings, thumbs up! Posted by arj0n on 2008-11-26 at 10:50 (IP logged): Andy: Actualy there is one accordion playing monkey in this Monkey Island spin-off game... ;-) Posted by Andy on 2008-11-25 at 16:28 (IP logged): I admire the effort that went into this game. A good, decent sized game that is worth checking out. A bit of coding messed up around the fountain area at the start, and well sort of a Monkey Island spin-off (without any monkeys), hehe, good fun Posted by thepr on 2008-11-16 at 16:37 (IP logged): A good game to play, even though it has it's minuses... Posted by Tinkerer on 2008-10-30 at 19:13 (IP logged): Excellent quality, with a good attention to detail. I really enjoyed it. Posted by Marion on 2008-10-29 at 07:35 (IP logged): I really enjoyed this game, but I regret that it looks too much like Monkey Island and Indiana Jones FoA. And the graphics could have been better too. But the story is great ! Posted by Zargblast on 2008-10-06 at 16:05 (IP logged): And I forgot to mention that the author's taken a lot of trouble with the music too (I'll even forgive him the attempt at an Irish tune). Posted by Zargblast on 2008-10-06 at 16:02 (IP logged): Forget the atrocious spelling (treat it like 'How to be Topp'), enjoy the mix of somewhat rudimentary and well-designed graphics, persist with pixel-hunting and become immersed in a thoroughly pleasurable game. Posted by McBoy on 2008-10-06 at 10:31 (IP logged): Simple graphical style but obviously a lot of work has gone in here. Much better then it may appear from Screenshots. Posted by speelteveel on 2008-09-30 at 22:18 (IP logged): Hear hear, Arjon. This game deserves three stars at least! Posted by Arj0n on 2008-09-30 at 01:23 (IP logged): Most of the remakes and look-alike fangames are in sierra style but not this time. One of the few games that realy do it by giving back that oldschool-adventure-gaming feeling (for me at least ;-)). Prepair to go back in time... This time in MI1 flavour! New MI1 styled graphics + nor completely but nicely done sound (mostly done in MI1 style) = Nice overall MI1 atmosphere. Combined with: Nice set of puzzles, (from rookie to medium / hard), Funny animations, Funny MI1 conversations. (And a typo version of the languagefile, but that fades away during playing and get caught by that MI1 feeling) A gem (even with the spelling prob), this time polished in MI style, don't miss it! Thumbs up for ShayAvr!
