the mysterious island 49
You end up on the mysterious island 49 but will you be able to get back home? A point and click adventure by Jo99.
The art is okay in itself, but it's so abundant that I keep getting lost. Also, too much hunting and clicking for my taste. Not really a game for me, I'm afraid.
Are you using the purple key on the correct treasure chest? It might also appear that you haven't used it (even if you have) since all items just go gray instead of disappearing from inventory.
The flashlight is used in the dark cavern, if I recall correctly.
The drawings in this game were weird... but other than that, i think it was a really great game (but i think that the creators should have said what the items were!!!)

Always love the art of these games, but after a while they're so confusing!
ReplyDeleteclered finish and out
ReplyDeleteHasse ( first:)
The game design is great!
ReplyDeleteThat was fun! It took a few minutes to get used to the game play but it was worth it. Loved the graphics.
ReplyDeleteAnother great game Bart! Thanks for finding it!

ReplyDeleteWow! I did this one with no clues, too. Yay!
ReplyDeleteThe last puzzle had me baffled for a while, but I managed without help :)
ReplyDeleteNow how to escape the mysterious planet :)
Beautiful graphics, quite distracting in fact, funny puzzles and in the end I won by accident?
ReplyDeleteI really like their games, but often find the art overwhelming visually. Perhaps that's the point? Fun game anyhow. Thanks for sharing this one, Bart!
ReplyDeleteCan anybody tell me why i can't seem to use the purple key? And where do I use the flashlight?

Mildly entertaining, but I'm not really a fan of the pop art style.
ReplyDeleteAnd somehow the final puzzle solved itself. Bit of an anticlimax.

ReplyDeleteYay I finished, without hints!! The rumples on that guy's head looks disgusting, but I like the rest of the drawings of this game :) .
ReplyDeleteall of his gamea really freaks me out, but they are really good. but damm they are so scary
ReplyDeletegraphics were fantastic!!! good game :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a hilarious notion..."escaping" might turn out to be worse than staying on a tropical island...
ReplyDeletereally liked that one! thanks, Bart!
ReplyDeleteGreat to finally see another Joe99 game out! Thanks for posting this Bart!
