It's cute, yes. A few things bug me though:
1. Flight: Would make more sense and be more natural to use left and right arrows as opposed to up and down. If you insist, though, I would at least make an option to switch to L/R if a player so chooses.
2. Races: Why can't we do anything in them?
And I agree with those who mentioned how it is nonsense.. the "solutions" to problems. Like.. why couldn't you use a stick and set off all the traps, huh? Of course, thats not even the worst one.
Anyways, Lucasarts was the shit. (Original monkey island.. not the new "improved" crap)
