This game is ridiculous. I mean, it does not even make any sense at all.

This game is ridiculous. I mean, it does not even make any sense at all.
Strong opening, but I was not up for solving the puzzle with the numbers.
Surprisingly ambitious amount of storytelling in this one, although the story is very weird I thought it was pretty interesting. Then I realized you wanted me to solve some absolutely insane number puzzle, so I reloaded the game and walked into the space lizards mouth :)
Hmm, my description did not show up on this page for some reason. Well, here's the tutorial: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25116236/ISGBexplanation.txt
All right, the description is back up. I guess I accidentally deleted it.
I like this quirky kind of humor that balances very well between believable and ridiculous.
The art and music were great, however I agree with the others that the puzzle was too much in one place. I like the concept of being in a enclosed area and using the surroundings to solve puzzles, though. (Similar to my LD entry: http://t.co/vUDVpFje)
Love the choice of music for this. The story was wacky, but for some reason I didn't question it. I like the creativity in how you got the player to solve the various puzzles even though the mechanic itself was very simple. This screams Hitchhiker's Guide to me, and I love it. Also, capes ARE awesome.
My favorite game of this competition, I love the music and the way it manages to be serious yet insanely ridiculous at the same time. Plus, I like the hat. Well played, 5/5.
I really liked the music on this one. I think you should wait for the player to press a key before advancing the dialogue. Sometimes I missed what was said because I didn't have time to read it. Very creative story, although the first puzzle may be a bit much in the beginning.
Nice, strange game. But the puzzle... Damn.
