Aside from the graphics overhaul, the gameplay of this 3rd-person point-and-click adventure stays close to the original version. Actions are still done through the icons similar to those of the original interface and there is still an age verification prior to starting the game, with the original cheat code to bypass it present as well. Players guide Larry in his quest to find true love through a number of familiar places. The original music is still present with remixed themes. The original environments have been redrawn with new touches.
There are now many more items to interact with and they are usually there to provide a witty pun. The characters are voiced and there are some new and redesigned puzzles, new songs, and a new ending. In the casino game there is now a mechanic that prevents the player from going broke completely and get stuck. This version introduces Jasmine as a new girl, with some puzzles to reach her, and a new location.
The number on the back of the beer coaster, 7-24-46, is the birthday of Al Lowe.
Kickstarter credits
The game was made possible by a successful crowdfunding campaign at Kickstarter. To view the entire Kickstarter credits within the game Larry has to do the following:
Go to the 7th floor of the casino and get the coverall. Go outside, find Tim the-guy-in-the-barrel and give him the coverall. He finds in its millions of pockets a key, a $655,182 cash check and a paper attached to the check. The paper is the list of all the 14,081 Kickstarter backers. The cash check amount was the received pledges from the crowdfunding campaign.
Important: this doesn´t work if you buy an apple from him or if you search through the coverall before.
Nudity
There is a bit of nudity at the end of the game. The bubbles in the jacuzzi are blocking the view on Eve's entire beauty. To change that, all Larry has to do is to use the valve ten times to reduce the bubbles to zero while he is sitting in the jacuzzi next to her.
Eve´s response during this is a reference to the box cover picture of On-Line Systems (later Sierra) early game Softporn Adventure. In that picture, Roberta Williams and others are sitting naked in a hot tub, their femaleness barely covered by bubbles. Softporn Adventure was the inspiration for the animated Leisure Suit Larry series.
