### 1/5 — warning - game doesnt save progress

*2026-01-25*

I wish there was a warning the gme apparently onky saves progress at certain points and even if that were the case it doesnt even save once you are off the boat and on the island which seems like a natural place to save progress.  i dont have time or interest to replay so waste of money

### 5/5 — Wow! Simply amazing!

*2025-08-25*

I’m so glad I purchased all of these. I just started the first one and I’m in love with the animation and characters voices. What a beautiful game. I’m rusty with point and click games right now but I finally got through the first part and am on chapter 1. It doesn’t bother me that the game isn’t widescreen. It’s made for this aspect ratio so folks need to calm down. The only thing that bothers me is when it gives you options to choose from the dialog and says the phrase you didn’t choose. I wanted to rescue the monkeys and it said he wanted to rescue the girl. There shouldn’t be different options if the game already has the dialog chosen for what’s next.

### 4/5 — A bit buggy

*2025-07-28*

Playing on an iPad Pro iOS 18.5 - it's impossible to interact directly with some key objects needed to solve puzzles.  You can select them, but when you tap on the selected object - nothing! I've since discovered the only way to interact with some items is by using the ship's wheel to select them AND then tapping the centre of the wheel to interact.

### 3/5 — Tolle Story, bescheidene Steuerung

*2025-01-12*

Ich habe ein Ipad pro und darauf ist die Steuerung megaanstrengend. Schade ums Geld

### 1/5 — Monkey island

*2024-12-08*

It lags so much I want my money back

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2024-09-03*

Not quite as good as the original monkey island but still loads of fun

### 5/5 — Super schönes Spiel

*2024-08-24*

Echtes Monkey Island - Feeling. Bitte mehr davon !

### 2/5 — Cant progress

*2024-03-04*

Cant pick up the porcelain doll either so can’t progress

### 1/5 — Falta comandos

*2024-01-03*

Eu não consigo cortar a planta no navio , pois não consigo ser direcionado para aquela região dentro do navio… erro no IOs ?

### 2/5 — Bug can’t progress in the game

*2023-06-26*

I can’t pick up the porcelain statue so I can’t progress any further . Wasn’t able to contact the games company either because the blue button to submit a request is info on the website cookies . Shame really I was enjoying this game.
