    If you like to immerse yourself in tough but rewarding puzzles, pick up Nelly Cootalot. If you want to step into the shoes of a delightful, cartoon pirate – if only for a few hours -pick up Nelly Cootalot. If you want to laugh, smile, and generally have a jolly ol’ time, pick up Nelly Cootalot. You can thank me later.

    In a month full of high-quality adventure games from some of the most respected names in the genre, relatively unknown newcomer Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet could be my favourite of the lot. It’s incredibly funny and charming, with a lovely kid’s cartoon feel to it.

    A pleasant, imaginative, original and fair –regarding the amount of money it targeted on Kickstarter- adventure game. It doesn’t last long, but features a rich and vivid world, accompanied by excellent voice overs and harmonious music orchestration.

    Nelly Cootalot’s latest voyage is overflowing with charm and heart – and puns, oh the puns! It may not be the stiffest challenge out there, but it’ll leave you with a warm feeling inside.

    A quirky and fun adventure that could go far with a few little tweaks.

    It's not particularly groundbreaking, but it's a nice graphic adventure, with a strong atmosphere and good puzzles.

    Nelly Cootalot: the Fowl Fleet is a nice little game with great production values in writing and dubbing. Gameplay is basic and uninspired, but the narrative is a blast and you will have an hilarious time playing it.

It takes the best features from old style adventure games with a modern coat of paint but adds A LOT of charm and humor! It's a bit short at 5 hours and some of the puzzles may be easy but I don't mind it at all. Love this game immensely and can't wait for a sequel!… Expand

    The graphics and voice acting are great. Puzzles are very logical, maybe a bit on the easy side but I prefer that to having illogical puzzles I have to consult a walkthrough to get past. I'm giving it a 9 instead of a 10 because I encountered one puzzle that didn't work properly with my computer, but I seem to be the only person who has encountered the problem.

    The story is interesting and the humor is great.    … Expand
