You're the really first one :) Woot !

redbone 2011-04-30 04:10

That was amazing.

rikkard 2011-04-30 04:19

This is the best.

thatsnail 2011-04-30 04:24

Ahah! Very clever.

I was gripped the moment I entered the red blobby cave.
The detail environment captivated me, I was so enthralled in the adventure that I did not notice that I was playing until 12, endlessly grinding quests in the detailed world. When finally given the chance, I decided to embark on my own to find a whole new depth of gameplay to await me.
Easy 5/5.

I lol'd. Nice game!

j0n 2011-04-30 12:28

Excellent.

Willywonka 2011-04-30 13:16

That was amazing :D

telluse 2011-04-30 19:50

Teary-eyed, still chuckling... I didn't even see the punchline coming.

Beautiful!

tnelsond 2011-05-01 02:01

Why can't I "use this"?

razzberries 2011-05-01 08:54

Ha! I feel enlightened ...

xedfire 2011-05-01 16:11

This has got to be the best game ever! Well, at least the funniest :D

sonnybone 2011-05-02 04:38

Uh.

LOL

yezu 2011-05-02 16:10

AWESOME :P

Wins in humor per hour spent (both playing and development).

alexlarioza 2011-05-02 20:11

Short and straight to the point! I wasn't aware that you could export inform to flash. I'll have to look into that. ;]

tnelsond: While "use" is pretty much the verb of choice in graphical adventures, it is actually a very uncommon verb in text adventures because it is so vague.

alexlarioza: Though there is at least one Flash interpreter for zcode (which is the simpler/smaller of the formats Inform can compile to), "DangerousII" is actually running in Parchment, which is JavaScript, not Flash: http://code.google.com/p/parchment/

In recent versions of Inform 7, making a webpage that uses Parchment to play your zcode game is as easy as saying "Release along with an interpreter." If you're looking at making a game that's too big to compile to zcode, a javascript glux interpreter, called Quixe, is in beta now, though it does not yet support images/sound. So yes, if you're interested in interactive fiction, there are plenty of options and you should definitely look into it!

Fond memories of Colossal Cave. Points for nostalgia, and for good humor.

frib 2011-05-03 20:51

Heh, clever.

the-jack 2011-05-04 00:37

Was I just trolled? :)

winterblood 2011-05-04 13:48

Nice. Very nice.

sonnybone 2011-05-04 21:19

Trolled the whole compo.

hempuli 2011-05-06 11:34

Haha, fantastic concept! Some art to accompany the text could've worked.

endurion 2011-05-07 08:05

Nice word play. An online highscore would make it perfect!

natenaterson 2011-05-10 05:54

I have been blown away by e v e r y t h i n g oh god blood on the floor

draknek 2011-05-11 16:06

Made me laugh.
