    Quirky point and click adventure game from 1C Wireless. I was relatively unfamiliar with the russian cartoon series but most of the games direction is done with visual suggestion rather then voiced. Some of the humour may not be for everyone and puzzles occasionally confusing, but overall it's perfectly playable and enjoyable for people who speak english. :] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuGor_CMjfU

    Yep. The first Pilot Brothers game is perfectly playable in the current daily build of ScummVM. 👍

    A classic point-and-click game. It is so colorful and fun, kids can play it as it is family friendly. The puzzles vary from extra easy to frustrating hard. Some of the puzzles can be skipped. Each level requires a series of actions in order to proceed to the second area, the good thing about this game is that there is a video hint which slowly fills up before you can use it to solve the stage. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1234447000 The characters designs are fun…

    After the recent ScummVM updates the original 2004 version of "Pilot Brothers 3" appears to finally be fully functional, albeit with some glitches. This is *not* the 2015 version of the game that is being sold (that one is a backport of the mobile version, & is missing 10 levels out of original 25.)

    Oh, the refrigerator puzzle in Pilot Brothers is giving you PTSD? Well, why then not try out a game of just THAT with "Flip - Flop" (1995)? 😂

    This is a game of my childhood and the funny thing is...I have a hard time playing it. It is tricky but managable, at least most of the time. :P The presentation is charming and the music sounds funny/weird which fits the game perfectly. I can recommend this game if you are looking for an exotic point and click adventure, since its east european style is charming and unique. I needed around 70-80 minutes to finish the game, but with help since I really was impatient. The game is clunky…

    Cute but frustrating point-and-click game. Completed it in just over an hour and a half. The good: ++ Quirky art design, story, animations, music, and sound effects. ++ Hints and solution videos for each area are available after a short time. The bad: ++ Many solutions are not at all apparent, and you might not know you're even able to do certain things gameplaywise. ++ Two characters means twice as many possibilities as they interact with objects differently, which means twice as many clicks…

    A very interesting and confusing game. Sometimes a couple of times I could not understand what I need to do, but after looking at the prompts, I immediately understood

    i started with the Tutorial - its a lol, absolute must do, and an intro to what u in for. Only passed the first level - looked around the second level - and from the other reviews that mention that puzzles aren't obvious, i am loving this already - v happy if it stays the same, - v v happy if it gets better! **edit... yes its getting better - these guys are trippers - love 'em - love it**

    Pilot Brothers is a classic, and is probably the best of the trilogy, because it closely follows the plot of the cartoon (which I also highly recommend everyone to watch). Puzzles do not necessarily make sense (because nothing the brothers do ever does), and are mostly about experimentation, similar to games like Samorost. The sort of game where you click on stuff until something new happens... Which is not at all bad (unless you hate that sort of thing, of course), because the dialogs and…

    As a massive fan of point and click games, I have to say this is one of the worst I have ever played. I would skip this one and go for something else. My Score - 2/10

    Since electronics are the most expensive, their repair mini-game is the hardest. It’s inspired by a puzzle from the Pilot Brothers quest, where you had to turn levers on a fridge. Here, you rotate transistors so that they all turn green #gamedev #godot #indiedev #godotengine #MadeWithGodot

    Pilot Brothers is a point'n'click adventure game first released in the 1997. It is based on animated series that was very popular in the 90's Russia. You play as two characters: Boss, a parody of Sherlock Holmes, and Colleague, his infantile brother. The characters interact differently with objects, which makes it harder to try every possible combination. Yet most of the puzzles in the game are illogical and the only way to complete them is brutforce. Thankfully In this re-release they've…

    A bit bizarre that Pilot Brothers 3 and later 3D sequels run in ScummVM while two original games don't, but I guess newer games share their game engine with a larger number of other titles.

    Тому больному, кто дизайнил загадку с переключателями на холодильнике, я от всей души желаю такое же устройство на ширинке штанов, и нескончаемую, лютую и всеуничтожаюшую диарею. Чтобы каждый раз перед тем, как снять в сортире штаны, ему приходилось решать этот сраный, е5учий, человеконенавистнический, десять раз проклятый паззл. Совсем е5анутые.

    I’ve finished this game, but it was hard to explain it, without talking about the original cartoon. So i tried to write about that, but it lead to the other cartoon, and both to the books. My plan was to start with a short exposition about the birth of this very important and prominent franchise, but the deeper i went the deeper the Cheburashka’s hole went. The internet is dead, because the only way to access it is through Google (or other equally bad search engines) and it only returns result…

    OMG has to be one of the worst games I've ever played. Totally unintuitive puzzles that if you're not standing in the right place or are the right character when wouldn't make the blindest bit of difference which you are will not work so game will not progress. Just wasted hours of my life that will not get back. Honestly even if it was free it's a waste, do not go here, really disappointed and I hear there is a sequel, no thank you!!

    This is such a old game. It's first release was in early 2000's. I got so nostalgic when I got the chance to play this again. As a kid, I was struggling with this game.. As an adult, some things made more sense :) Decent game, worth the money if you are into puzzle solving!

    Tags: Adventure - P&C - Point & Click Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Gobliiins russian offbrand copycat. No saveslot features, no autosaving, no profile progress. Beat the game all in one go or restart from scratch next time. No thanks. Half decent and can in theory be beat without external walkthroughs by using the in-game hint system. Just takes patience. Game has a nice saturday cartoon and DOS era aristic blend to it. Few sound clips are well picked and…
