About Captain MaCaw

Captain Macaw is an old school platform adventure in the style of the ZX Spectrum classics.
The graphical style closely resembles but not 100% emulate the ZX spectrum resolution and palette.

Captain MaCaw was returning from a voyage when treacherous weather engulfed his ship.
Scrambling for the life boat, he managed to escape just as the Jolly Roger vanished into the abyss.

Washed aboard a lost island with his life boat in ruin, Captain MaCaw must platform, collect and puzzle
his way round this unfamiliar island.

The creatures on the island are not all out to kill you, but most are so take a helping hand when it is offered
and you may make it off this accursed island yet!

✦ AI summary

Captain MaCaw successfully captures the charm of classic 1980s adventure games like Dizzy with logical puzzles, colorful pixel art, engaging music, and multiple themed locations that gradually unlock as you progress. Players consistently praise the game's nostalgic appeal, sensible puzzle design, and good value, though some note that controller support is problematic and keyboard play is recommended. Fans of retro adventure games should find this a worthwhile experience.

If you were a fan of the classic cartoon adventure games of old, where you would explore cartoon kingdoms, solving puzzles, collecting objects and chatting to the locals, then this game will take you right back. More than that though, this game is a real honing of the craft. The puzzles all have a logical thread to them. You'll rarely be stuck wandering around for long as the right object or the right situation will crop up and you'll quickly put two and two together. It's a decent length and there's several different settings which you'll gradually unlock the further you play. You really can't go wrong with the price here. If you ever enjoyed a Dizzy or Magic Knight game on your humble Spec, you'd struggle not to get a kick out of this.

Great game in the style of dizzy. Lots of puzzles and charming 8 bit style graphics. Can't go wrong if you were a fan of these back in the day.

If Tigger was a pirate he would be Captain MaCaw, this guy must have springs for legs the amount he loves to bounce about all over the place, a brilliant little game a labour of love you could say to the spectrum days and dizzy egg ect, easy to follow, funny, some nice puzzles and puns, completely xbox controller compatible, did i mention the soundtrack? Go on mention the soundtrack... it will be stuck in your head for days while you are bopping around your house, this review is all over the shop or well island in the case of Cap adventures aplenty reminding me of treasure island go on give it a go you won't regret it as long as he doesn't suddenly meet Seaman Stains or Master Bates in his next adventures but you never know who might turn up.. 10/10

This is a nice little nostalgia-inducing game that should appeal to all fans of Speccy type games, especially Dizzy. However, this has the advantage of: puzzles that make sense (mostly), infinite lives, save points, some nice music and achievements. The save points are a welcome addition, that make completing the game possible. Overall - great game that's fun to play for a few hours. I heard there's a sequel, so looking forward to that.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
