It be the golden age of pirates! Dogs of the sea! Quite literally.

Our swashbuckling sausage-dog star is Gaius James Rover, son of the famous clown Jolly Rover, who died from a blow to the groin from an improperly loaded joke cannon.

Following the tragically comedic death of his father, young Gaius, who insists on using his middle name James, goes to live with his uncle, a wealthy plantation owner on a small Caribbean island. While practising a particularly tricky juggling move, he accidentally taints a barrel of rum with tobacco, creating a potent and addictive brew which he coins ‘Jolly Rover’, one of the most prized substances in the Caribbean.

Alas, the wealth of Jolly Rover sales only manages to fill the pockets of his uncle, and Gaius longs for action and adventure and, more importantly, the opportunity to start his own circus and follow in the footsteps of his father.

It is not long before the fumbled juggling ball of opportunity raps Gaius smartly on the head yet again. While his uncle is away, a large contract for Jolly Rover arrives from Guy DeSilver, Governor of the notorious Groggy Island, with payment upfront!

In a blinding flurry of optimism, Gaius pools his meagre savings with this advance and charters a ship and crew to take him to Groggy Island. Along the way he meets a colourful band of seafaring cutthroats, scallywags and rogues otherwise known as pirates.

It is here we begin to follow the short and stubby tail of Gaius across three wild and untamed tropical islands, as he attempts to fulfil his dream of starting a circus, hampered only by pirates, villains, voodoo, love and considerable lack of loot.

Jolly Rover is a traditional 2D point and click adventure, including casual elements, such as an integrated hint system, and task bar. Bonus elements include unlockable Captain Bio's, music, concept art and developer commentary!

Key features:

* Over 60 beautifully rendered scenes to explore
* 25 colourful, fully animated and voiced characters
* Traditional point and click adventure with simple one-click interface
* Organic and fully integrated hint and task tracking system
* Unlockable extras include Captain Bio's, concept art, music tracks and directors commentary

There is also apparently a Demo available, but I was unable to find it! :facepalm Anyway, you can find it on Steam HERE! And you can find the official Brawsome page HERE!
 
I finally got my hands on the demo, seems you have to actually have the Steam client installed to actually play it, Duh! :facepalm

Well buckle me swash and call me Silver! I finished the demo with 407 points, this game is awesome! Some of the puzzles are quite challenging, and I did have to feed the parrot a couple of crackers. :wp

It's very well written and quite amusing from what I have seen of the demo. It has been a while since I played a good ol' style point and click adventure, and this one fits the bill just fine! Brawsome did a fantastic job with this one mates! Even taking the annoying Steam client into account, this game is well worth $19.99!
 
Anybody else played this game yet? :?

For those of you who haven't tried this game out, now is your chance! This weekend only you can pick up Jolly Rover for %50 off! This really is quite a good and amusing little indie game!
