gadlor

great fun! not very innovate, though.

gerrys

conio.h isn't portable!

kobel

How do I beat the grue?

kimau

Bravo for the best joke entry I've seen so far.

fydo

Nice work, haha. ;)

nilsf

As Cosmologicon mentioned conio.h isn't portable, however I was able to compile it mentally and play it using only my mind!
But I still lost. Maybe I'll try to beat it again later.

The shortest game...

fireprufe15

Too hard for me.

cpowell

Hmmmm. I wonder why I liked it so much. I'm tempted to backport it to TRS-80 Level II BASIC.

Like the humour.

entar

Hehehehehe, ha ha, heheh.

mjau

=)

It would've been easier to appreciate the joke if you'd actually seen the message - I thought it just crashed on me, since I didn't run it from the command prompt, and the program exited straight after the loss message.

I'm giving you a few points in "Community" for blogging even though you're not really entering. :)

mathias

Oh, I get it! It's a puzzle game, you have to modify the source to win? :)

funkyjive

Hilarious. It's not a very good game, though, is it? ;)

simon

I laughed out loud. TWICE.

glever

Heh

sparky

Can you post a walkthrough?

I'm stuck at the second grue ;)

ondrew

The game is fun, but the source code is funnier :). Probably first time in this compo!

grimfang4

The atmosphere was ruined because my console is white instead of black...

gamerfoelife

Excellent use of the hex constant 0x100000.
One of the best uses I have encountered.

Keep up the good work!

daithi

Goddamn that grue!!!!!!!!!!!!!
