I got stuck so couldn't do much.
Got stuck didn't know what to do, or got stuck horrible game breaking bug?
Well, I got a few screens in but wasn't sure how to get past the pit. I got a flashlight and crate of apples. Having a restart is really really important for a game like this when you get suddenly killed by random stuff. And, no offense, but the game is UGLY. Why is it blurred some of the way and pixel-y other parts? Can't make up its mind.
I made the backgrounds blurry so that the items in the foreground stood out more so hopefully it clued in to what was interactive. It really is I'm not a good enough artist to get that point across without an ugly gimmick. The crate is part of the "go upstairs and sleep" puzzle, if that helps.
Cool, but feels a bit buggy.
First time it would show the first screen but didn't do anything. Then I got killed by a tree without warning. The third time I got stuck at the same tree once I dodged it and lost interest in the game. I like the idea and the music, but it is too buggy for me.
been trying to get this to work but every time i try it just either shows a blank applet or crashes. this is probably on my end (read: definitely) so i'll try get this working some other time.
OH LAWD THAT TREE! Thanks for pointing out all the games in your latest blog post. Your game has a very unique feel, and I dig that items have different popups based on the order that you find them!
@SonnyBone: Yeah, the tree really sets the theme for the rest of the game. Thanks for playing!
A pretty enjoyable entry! I wish it were longer. Loved the music!
The only thing I didn't really like was all the "surprise instant death" moments. They were frustrating, since you had to restart the game from the beginning every time you tripped one.
The game looks quite nice, but I found it very frustrating to have to start from the beginning each time, although I did eventually complete it. I also felt that my actions didn't really have an effect on my success - the obstacles couldn't be avoided since they didn't look like obstacles.
That tree is a jerk!
Nice game. Restarting over isn't a major problem since it's so short, though there should've been an option to restart rather than quit. The puzzles were kind of tricky, but not too bad. I also liked the music. My only complaint is the graphics - Having some parts blurry and some not doesn't look very good.
I found the kitten!
buggy and hard to tell what to do (took me a while to figure out to press the action button while in front of the roads), but overall ok.
I actually quite liked this!
I like the low-key guitar music.
Art was not great, but not terrible for 2 days.
The puzzles were not really designed that well, it seemed a bit arbitrary. In a good point-and-click game, you have to use reason and common sense to figure out what to do. This is like, "Oh there's dynamite in the car. And tree sap next to it. I guess that did something." The random deaths were random. But it was still fun enough.
Good job!
lotsa death in this one.
Its a good game system but a bit of foreshadowing the danger might help
Getting killed by ridiculous stuff and having to start from the beginning is annoying.
A good classic adventure game. I liked the Zork reference and unexpected "methods" of failure.
cool entry! I couldn't figure out how to not die with dynamite though. Some more hints or warnings about traps and things that kill me would be nice.
also, awesome community content! :)
Wow, go away for a few days and a bunch or you guys come in. Thank you so much.
My biggest regret with this game is that I didn't think to add a save feature until it was too late to implement one. Thank you for all your feedback.
Buggish. I would get constant blank screens and the music keeps on playing after closing the tab where the game was running.
