HMS wins IndieDB Creativity Award
It's fair to say that, given how late in the year Her Majesty's SPIFFING was released, that we've flew under the radar of most people's GOTY lists (can't think of any other reasons for being omitted)! :P However, we're happy to announce that the lovely editorial team at IndieDB h

Good, bad or indifferent we've included all the reviews we've came across for Her Majesty's SPIFFING on all platforms and listed them below. For those sitting on the fence this will hopefully help inform you whether it's worth taking the plunge or passing by. From highest to lowe
Good, bad or indifferent we've included all the reviews we've came across for Her Majesty's SPIFFING on all platforms and listed them below. For those sitting on the fence this will hopefully help inform you whether it's worth taking the plunge or passing by. From highest to lowest:

GameReactor UK, 9/10 (PS4) - Now that the credits have rolled we're left hoping for the return of captain English and sub lieutenant Jones (if the game sells well, so says the devs). The writing is very funny and although the game is short, it's full of laughs.
Twinfinite, 4.5/5 (PC) - The only problem with the game is that I wanted more of it. Her Majesty’s Spiffing will run you about four hours. Once you reach its end, the game is very clear with the player stating that ‘This story will continue… maybe… if we get enough sales’.
GameReactor.se, 9/10 (Xbox One, Swedish) - Fantastisk humor, smarta och logiska pussel, mästerligt röstskådespel, ljuvliga spel- och filmreferenser.
Orange Bison, 9/10 (Xbox One) - HM Spiffing stands as a both a tribute to a, lamentably, bygone era and a modern reimagining of how its gaming forbears might look, feel and play now.
Arabic Gamers, 85% (Xbox One) - ...If you like well made point and click games with a sense of humour then you'll like this. Here's hoping for a sequel.
Adventure Corner, 83% (PC, German) - Monty Python Fans, kaufen und spielen. Der Humor ist bitterböse und am Punkt.
Newark Advertiser, 8.3/10 (Xbox One) - Her Majesty's Spiffing has been a fantastic surprise. Small but sweet, it's some of the best British humour I've seen packaged into a game, and a good point-and-click venture.
IGN Spain, 8/10 (PS4, Spanish) - Una divertida, aunque corta, aventura gráfica, repleta de buen humor y con una buena factura técnica y jugable que no decepciona.
Brash Games, 8/10 (Xbox One) - Her Majesty’s Spiffing has a fitting graphic design with unique and amusing characters that come with big personalities and apt voice acting. You’ll get more than your fair share of fourth-wall breaking gags to keep you chuckling away.
Game Grin, 8/10 (Xbox One) - You would never know that this is the first game from Billy Goat Entertainment, from how well polished and written it is. Very funny and filled with pop culture references, it makes you hopeful for the post-Brexit future.
Alternative Magazine Online, 8/10 (PC) - Her Majesty’s SPIFFING is very British, very funny and very much worth your time if you love adventure games. Let’s just hope enough people buy a copy to keep Captain English afloat in space. After all, we can’t let the French win!
Vandal, 7.5/10 (PS4, Spanish) - Her Majesty's Spiffing es un título original, que sustenta casi todas sus bondades, alrededor de un humor muy británico. Los diálogos entre los protagonistas marcan la mecánica y el desarrollo del videojuego en todo momento, ofreciéndonos una constante alimentación en puzles y mecánicas, que consiguen que estemos pendientes a los chascarrillos y bromas de cara a las futuras soluciones que puedan venirnos a la cabeza.
Xbox Achievements, 75% (Xbox One) - Who'd have thought that a game ostensibly about Brexit could not only be so funny, but also provide a selection of clever puzzles to boot?
ICXM, 7.5/10 (Xbox One) - Great - An excellent piece of kit that offers value for money and adheres to high quality standards.
This Is Xbox, 7.1/10 (Xbox One) - Her Majesty’s SPIFFING does a great job as a British tongue-in-cheek take on the likes of Broken Sword and Monkey Island. The graphics are perfect for the aim of the game and the voice-acting and scripting in the game is brilliant for the player.
Game Spew, 7/10 (Xbox One) - I would like to see more from this series for another great laugh thanks to its smart writing; whether it will materialise is another story.
Adventure Gamers, 3/5 (PC) - In the end, Her Majesty's SPIFFING is like a story told over drinks at a Club: all digressions and anecdotes, rambling without any great urgency but plenty of charm.
We'll add more reviews to the list when we come across them, good or bad we'll add them to the list.
