Jolly Rover is the result of a heap of hard work by Australian indie developer Andrew Goulding of Brawsome (and if you're interested in the tale, we have a great interview with him as well).

Our casual gaming expert Mike has taken it for a test spin and declared it to be a thoroughly enjoyable experience - if you're looking for a taste of that old classic adventure game with a dash of Monkey Island, then it's definitely worth a read (and play, as it were).

If you're unfamiliar with the game, beyond the linked interview above, we also have our handy AusGamers Jolly Rover game page which has all the info you might need when looking at getting your modern nostalgia on.

Aussie indie dev, Brawsome Games (consisting almost solely of one Andrew Goulding), has been hard at work on something of an adventure game revival/homage - a game that embraces a design ethos and style perhaps somewhat gone, but certainly not forgotten.

AusGamers caught Goulding at this year's GDC and were so impressed with his passion and creativity, we decided to hit him up locally ahead of the release of his first true solo project, Jolly Rover.

If you've ever wondered about indie development and what's involved with sticking to your guns, check out our interview with Andrew.
