This game is hilarious! I saw the title fromagist and instantly wanted to check out your cheese game. Wait, wasn't the theme evolution?
I guess you've got bacteria and stuff, which is related to evolution.. and you have to try different combos which is artificial (unnatural?) selection in a way.
Anyway, this was hilarious to read and click through. There are a lot of really funny lines and twists contrary to what I expected.
Good work.
Great text adventure! Its very funny.
As for the source, shouldn't you be able to put it up on a github repo?
Well... I guess I could put the RTF up there on github, or the HTML source - but I was thinking the Twine file is the proper source, and that's not really anything but a Twine-openable project file.
Unless I'm mistaken - I just want to keep right by the rules of the compo :)
Also, thank you both for the kind words! :)
I enjoyed this quite a bit. Your implementation made it feel like a more "modern day" text adventure.
Text Adventures always get a thumbs up from me!
Amusing and certainly bizarre little text adventure! A large suspension of disbelief required to get into this cheesey world. Cool :)
This was great. I stand by my choice of Beaver milk!
That's.. not.. what I expected to happen. (Ending SkO). Great work though, really nice little adventure and also presented really well.
Not sure if it's down your alley, but you might want to look into Inform 7. It's a text adventure engine that a friend told me about recently and, based on this, you might enjoy using it. It seems really powerful and has an "else if" style thing, I think.
Thank you! I'll have to look into Inform 7 - I remember as a teen mucking about with the Frotz engine but never really got around to making anything with it.
Really, I'd like to do something with real graphics and sound and whatnot next LD... I was just really bad with my scheduling this time around.
Thanks to everyone who commented and liked my little adventure. It's not much but at least something got in :)
I made zombie apocalypse. Awesome!
I enjoyed the game (and I typically am not into text adventures!). Very funny, and I love that you put all the endings on the last page, even though that probably wouldn't be good practice in a normal game. Not sure I see the "Evolution" connection, though.
Nice. Tenuous link to the theme, but this was really fun and quite unique.
Wow, I caused a zombie Apocalypse, made a cheeze fighting leauge and created a unicorn, great job, very captivating...
I got one of the beaver endings. I appreciated the unicorn and zombie endings. ;)
That was so much fun! I've never played such a ridiculous text-adventure before and laughed quite so much. Sorry humans, I mixed up quite the noxious and deadly Toxxie. No hard feelings eh?
the game links dont work, they time out while loading
Both links point to the same place (http://pastehtml.com/view/c9kauorev.html) and neither of them work
This is a perfectly cromulent game. :P I made The Toxic Avenger on my first run though, it seems, at vat "SeS" of all places.
Sorry Raptor85 and JonathanG, looks like pasteHTML went down for a bit there, but it's back up now.
I'm going to have to get my own website/blog space soon as I'm back on the java programming kick. Fromagist will get a new home when that happens.
Funny text adventure (choose your own adventure!)
