Launching Thursday May 23rd for PC, Mac and Linux!View the trailer here.Check out the official website here.Launching Thursday May 23rd for PC, Mac and Linux! Nelly Cootalot: Spoonbeaks Ahoy! was originally released by Alasdair Beckett-King hundreds of years ago in 2007. The game started out as a birthday present for his girlfriend and got wildly out of hand. In 2016, he even made another Nelly game called Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet. The HD remastering of Spoonbeaks Ahoy! brings the original game back to life, with a streamlined interface and loads more pixels and voice over (!) for the first time. Read the details below!
Alasdair has been tweaking and polishing (and breaking and fixing) Nelly Cootalot: Spoonbeaks Ahoy! for many months now. 1920x1080 HD resolution and a FULL VOICE OVER in English are the obvious highlights. Here is the full list of the improvements we've made to the original 2007 game.
New resolution The game now runs in full 1920x1080 HD, (as well as other widescreen resolutions). This is flipping massive compared to the tiny, square original graphics (see trailer video).
Full voice acting (English only) Extremely cheap voice acting by Alasdair Beckett-King, real Nelly and literally no one else. Think of it as a director's commentary where he got to do a load of dodgy accents. (Yes, this feature CAN be switched off.)
Support for more operating systems Full support for macOS and Linux as well as all recent Windows systems. Other improvements • Streamlined point & click interface. • Improved launcher app. • Bad jokes replaced with good jokes (we wish).
New "business" model • Cheapest price ever: $1.99 / £1.69 / 1.99 Euros • Revenue goes to the birds.
We've put a lot of work into this remastered edition. However, Spoonbeaks Ahoy! is a shorter game than „The Fowl Fleet“, and the original was freeware. So we've decided to make this release super, super-cheap.
But that didn't seem like enough. So, the revenue - after fees and taxes are deducted - will go to the RSPB, a British charity taking care of our feathered friends (birds).
Happy Gaming!
Don't feed the Trolls
