The gameplay and the music are perfectly enjoyable, but GoG should not allow games on their platform that are in this kind of state. Stores glitch out and give you infinite money, only for the game to delete random parts of (or your entire) inventory randomly, often without you noticing until you have already saved over your file. Sometimes the game will seem to glitch back in time, deleting your stuff inside of saves you made ages ago. After trying five times to reach the game's second area without having my inventory deleted, I finally gave up.
This is a game I had completely forgotten even existed. As I kid, I jumped on it because I thought the Monkey Island games were incredibly cool - Vodoo Kid was one of the extremely few point and click games that I was actually able to finish without a guide, even though I barely spoke English at the time. I wouldn't call it a masterpiece by any standard, but it's a cute little game for kids that won't give you too much frustration.
As others have said, it's a walking (well, jogging - I have to give the game credit for the sprint option) simulator that tries to sell itself on its humour. Sadly, although I'm sure the writers tried, they just weren't any good. I can say without exaggerating, that most of the dialogue in the game includes someone being called an idiot, and that part loses its charm exactly as quickly as you'd expect. Most of the humour is just random absurdities without any real buildup or payoff, and none of the puzzles are particularly interesting. There are no real character arcs, no personalities to get invested in; the game's just kind of dull. It's a shame, really, because the graphics are rather nice, and the basic concept could have worked. Could have. I kind of regret spending half the day on this.
