I rather enjoyed this game. It's basically Professor Layton or Puzzle Agent, but with a cute story. You'll get about 2.5 to 3 hours out of this first episode. It's also on Android and iOS and I could actually see it working a bit better as a tablet game. Looks great on PC though and it gives you that Costume Quest childish feel.

Very nice game in the style of the Professor Layton games for the DS. Nice puzzles, with varying degrees of difficulty, and an interesting plot, made all the more interesting by its episodic format.

If you're a fan of the Professor Layton games on the DS, then give this charming title a look. Although it borrows (read: steals) a few of the mechanics from that series-- such as the merit points awarded and finding soda cans instead of hint coins (which fulfill the same purpose)-- this is by no means a bad thing. The world is also beautiful to look at and explore, filled with some very amusing characters with genuinely funny dialogue. Despite the game's shortness-- with just 24 puzzles and the story included-- £4 is good value for what you get, with more promised by the developer to come soon. Despite being somewhat inferior to the Layton series, this is still worth your time if you're craving some lighthearted puzzle action. PROS: +Stylish graphics make the game look great +Charming characters with funny dialogue to boot +Puzzles are more challenging than the art style suggests +Cheap CONS -Suspiciously similar mechanics to the Layton series -Some difficulty in clicking on soda c...

Great puzzle game for kids or even adults. some of the puzzles are simple and others just make you wanna rage quite for a bit but their all great fun. the game follows Jacob and his friend bigfoot who disguise himself as a dog so no one knows who he really is. The game is done up with a pretty cute art style to.

Jacob Jones is a pretty high quality puzzle adventure game. I didn't like a few of the puzzles, one or two I thought were too difficult, but overall it is a decent title. The second episode I thought had much better thought out puzzles.

Short but funny.

Pros: Satisfying puzzles. Wonderful humour and characters. Cute graphics and sounds. Bigfoot! Cons: Lack of configuration options. Annoying swaying screen effect and blurred edges. Individually, each episode is a little brief.

Very charming game. It has the "Double Fine" vibe where everything is cute but you can still very much enjoy it as an adult. Gameplay is very similar to Professor Layton. The first episode took me about 2 hours to complete. It ends at a good point, no weird cutoff points like some other episodic content has. I sometimes had some troubles with the puzzles because they were made for touch controls. It's easy to get used to though. Note that I had some performance issues but I have been able to fix it by messing with the settings of "JacobJonesSystemSettings.ini" at "My Games\UnrealEngine3\JacobJonesGame\Config"

This is a quirky story-based puzzler with beautiful visuals and a surprisingly decent—if not a little snarky—sense of humor. I enjoyed it, and you might too. Only two episodes have ever been released, and apparently the game didn't get as much attention as the developers had hoped, but that shouldn't stop you from enjoying it in any way. By the way, Giant Bomb did a [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX2_D96wxXM]Quick Look[/url] of it at one point, you might wanna check it out if you're on the fence.

Fun and varied puzzle sampler. Somewhat clunky controls on the PC but not too bad.
