''Nelly Cootalot'' is a {{Freeware}} point-and-click adventure game (soon to be a series of games) in the vein of ''VideoGame/MonkeyIsland''. It was created by one Alasdair Beckett from the Adventure Game Studio in 2007 for his girlfriend who also goes by the name of Nelly Cootalot.

In the first (and so far only) game, ''Spoonbeaks Ahoy!'', our heroine is in the midst of a rough sea bat--er, woken up from her sleep by the ghost of the great pirate Bloodbeard, feared by many a pirate but loved by all cute critters, who gives her the task of investigating the disappearance of [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter spoonbeaks]] from the Barony of Meeth. When she gets her bearings and goes searching around the island, however, things stop being what they seem. Can our PirateGirl clear up the mystery and save the birds?

A sequel, ''The Fowl Fleet!'', is currently in the works, and will involve 3D characters on 2D backgrounds, and voice acting.

* AptlyNamed: Bloodbeard and Widebeard. The latter boasts about it.

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: [[spoiler:Baron Widebeard]]
** Much more like ZeroPercentApprovalRating - does anyone on the island like him?

* [[{{ptitlein6pxzsy4jta}} People's Republic of Tyranny]]: Spoofed with a poster for voting Widebeard for Baron: "He's literally the only choice!"

* SeeTheSailboat: A jarring example: When you have to go undercover as Angelo Lightfoot, pilot extraordinaire, you have to pretend to enter the cockpit of the junky rocket. Sure, you can try the ladder, but Nelly knows better than to head into such a death trap. Instead, [[spoiler:you have to use a rock from someplace else to bang on the pipe near the latter to break it apart. ''Then'' you have to use the talk command on the pipe to get the Dignified Ladies to think you're in the rocket by talking ''through'' it]]. Also, the final puzzle.
** The rocket puzzle does help set up another puzzle later on though that uses the same material to do the same thing.
