Curly goes adventuring

Sylum Entertainment have released a demo version of Curly's Adventure .. over three years after the game was canned. Although we'll never get to see the final product and the demo (which was originally created to show off the game to potential publishers) is rather rough round the edges, it's actually quite entertaining. Landing somewhere between Stupid Invaders and Gilbert Goodmate, it features a mixture of odd puzzles, amusing dialogue and more parodies than you can shake a chicken at. Settings including a Star Wars inspired bar, with an obese Elvis standing in for Jabba The Hutt, and a torture chamber featuring a vat of bubbling green acid and a scratchy blackboard. The fiends. You can download the demo, which weighs in at 100Mb, from Sylum's website.
