"eat corky"
"I don't suppose Corky would care for that."

Ashkin

I found it hard to find the correct command and quit because the parser was such an obstacle.

One of the funnier text adventures I have played this year :D Couldn't quite finish it tho

Hempuli

I couldn't get anywhere. It'd be nice to get some sort of guide here! ;D

philomory

Cute and clever. Runs into problems with certain verbs that describe the same action being treated differently - playing guess-the-verb takes the wind out of any IF game. Otherwise, a good go.

Hamumu

You had better figure out what it is if you want to show up Mike "Hamumu" Hommel this year.

MAJOR complaint: I guess I can't GIVE this away, but a really obvious natural way of dealing with the dog isn't accepted. I had to see the hints to know how to word it. I know that's a standard issue with text adventures, but this particular inability is really egregious!

I only got 9/10, I am sad. I think I skipped the first programming step (typical for me). Good luck against your arch-rival in the LD!

Huh? I got more points than it says is possible. 12/10. Funny and entertaining.

The usual complains about text adventures apply. Also, why the heck is LOOK not the same as EXAMINE.
Other than that, nicely done. I had to look up in the hints file for the first puzzle, but was almost able to do the rest without :)

simple but fun, had to cheat though

Diet Chugg

as usual I always use the wrong words for things which makes these games hard for me. Good job though.

Tozy

Good, finally!
I had to use the gide becouse give sandwich did't work. Nice ending. ;)

I suck at these. So bad.
