Jolly Rover is that kind of game that starts off slowly, gets a lot better the further you progress into it, but never becomes truly great. However, it still holds itself well in the adventure gaming market, with lots of impressive visual detail in its backgrounds and character animations.

Item interactions and puzzles are very often straight-forward and obvious, though a few are actually truly clever. There is voodoo magic that you learn throughout the game by mixing various symbols together, and is used pretty well as a puzzle mechanic without ever becoming overly complex.

I enjoyed this mostly for the story and animation. While the puzzles weren't great, they never felt out-of-place or too simple, and I feel the experience as a whole made for a very solid adventure game.

3 out of 5 foxes.
