YMMV / Jönssonligan: Jakten på Mjölner

Go To

  • Fridge Brilliance:
    • While most of the game overs revolve around the protagonists getting caught breaking the law, you can also get robbed by another crook and forced to go home... After which you still get the usual game over screen, leading at least one group of Let's Players to exclaim "why did we go to jail?!" The reason for this is probably that they weren't able to fulfill their part of the deal with Wall-Enberg anymore, leading to him calling the cops on them himself for all the other crimes they have committed in the series.After all, this is exactly how he attempts to blackmail them into handing the hammer over without getting paid for it.
    • While in Germany, Sickan can hold a few proper conversations with NPCs and reads from a magazine without issue, yet when he disguises himself as a German later on the results sound anything other than convincing. Other than Rule of Funny, this could be explained by Sickan's lines in most conversations only being shown as unspoken dialogue choices in Swedish; for all we know, the way he actually said those lines in German could also have been wrong. (Besides, the people he spoke to would probably have been used to tourists mangling the language, hence why they still answer him properly.)
  • Good Bad Bugs:
    • The game allows you to double the characters' walking speed by double-clicking the mouse, but this is not supposed to affect the scenes where the characters are scripted to walk a certain distance. However, in some cutscenes where Sickan is supposed to pace back and forth while talking to the others, the game may get stuck with him in double speed, leading to the amusing sight of his voice actor talking calmly while darting back and forth like a hyperactive child.
    • A more useful bug can be triggered in Italy. One of the puzzles revolves around getting some wooden planks; you're supposed to get a window sill to break and fall onto the ground before you can pick it up... But as demonstrated in this longplay, if you can't get the event to trigger or simply think it takes too long, you can just walk to the spot where the lattice is supposed to fall later and receive the item anyway.
  • No Problem with Licensed Games: While short and with a slightly different sense of humour to the films, it is still fun while it lasts. It helps that most of the original actors lended their voices to the game, and the characters have unique, voiced reactions to most of the interactable objects in the game.
  • What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?: The game was released with a sticker saying "For children over 11 years". While the sort of swearing featured in the game is not considered such a big deal in Sweden in that age group, the dirtier jokes such as Vanheden accusing Rassmussen of being a peeping tom due to the telescope in his room may still raise some eyebrows.
